Study languages story

by James Ma

           This story is about how Mr. Marcel how to studies language and some good way to study different languages.

            Mr. Marcel is from Boston, he know four languages: French, English, Spinach and Arabic. It’s very rare in the world.

            He thinks the language is a good way to know people. Because when you want to communicate with some people who do not know your language, you need to employ others who can speak your language and the other persons language, its very trouble some, and it will not make each other happy. He speaks English the. One of the reasons is because he live in America, here has 80% American people, they all speak English, and his friends, they almost all speak English with him. He has three ties to study a new language: 1. Make some friends who speak you new language. 2. Study the new language’s rules. 3. You need to study how to say funny joke, because if you have interest to study language, you will study very faster.

            The next language he wants to study is Chinese, because this language is very important, in San Francisco International High School there 40% Chinese people, they all speak Mandarin. “I am a teacher, I need to understand them, so l need to learn Mandarin and communicate with them.” And to speak is not very hard for Mr. Marcel, but to write is hard.

            In the end, he says there is a reason he became a teacher and not a translator: “Because a translator only say other people's words, as a teacher I can say my own.”

            He is a good teacher; this is the reason why I interviewed Mr. Marcel.
