As you may know, this is a highly successful global contest organised by Han last September, I spoke at the Second Joint Conference of European Confucius afterwards, I unveiled the Confucius Classroom at the St Mary?s Primary Vice Premier Li Keqiang was here on an official visit this past January, I was with him at an exchange with British students learning months later, I joined His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at the official unveiling of the Confucius Classroom at Llandovery College in same month, I attended the UK Regional Final for the ?Tenth Chinese Bridge Competition.?In two days time I will be giving a reception at our Embassy for the UK contestants in the ?Chinese Bridge Competitions?.They will be joined by their teachers and will be another occasion for us to celebrate the outstanding performances of these young British is a proud symbol of the success in Mandarin teaching in this ，參加的第一場公眾活動(dòng)是第九屆世界大學(xué)生“漢語橋”比賽英國區(qū)預(yù)選賽；接著，參加了歐洲孔子學(xué)院聯(lián)席會(huì)；不久又為倫敦圣瑪麗小學(xué)孔子課堂揭牌；今年1月，我陪同到訪的李克強(qiáng)副總理會(huì)見了英國漢語學(xué)習(xí)愛好者；3月，我同查爾斯王子一同出席了威爾士蘭德福瑞公學(xué)孔子課堂的揭牌儀式；當(dāng)月，我又出席了第十屆世界大學(xué)生“漢語橋”比賽英國區(qū)預(yù)選賽。The second reason I devote some much time to this vital effort is this: Mandarin is the most effective key to understanding today?s you may be aware, the development of China is moving very China today many aspects, such as cities, can change beyond recognition in a short period of one relies on British media coverage and journalists perspectives alone, he will fail to understand the larger picture of my country, or even be influenced by biased and misguided lack of reporting and analysis means it is vital to equip young British people with Mandarin being able to speak Mandarin, the youth of Britain can go and explore China can then learn first hand the reality of my country offers a path to grasp all facets of the Chinese society, from outside to understanding China truly starts from Confucius Institute and Confucius Classroom couldn?t e at a better have offered highquality venues around the world for Mandarin teaching and turn they have created nonprofit and excellent platforms that have earned wide recognition and ，漢語是了解當(dāng)代中國的最直接、最有效的鑰匙?，F(xiàn)在，全英各地包括英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾士和北愛爾蘭都已設(shè)有孔子學(xué)院，布局全面、合理。應(yīng)當(dāng)說，當(dāng)前孔子學(xué)院建設(shè)速度很快，成績成果很大，樹立了良好的品牌。它提供的購物環(huán)境和商品也確實(shí)非常好。有的英美學(xué)者認(rèn)為，中國創(chuàng)造了一種全新的發(fā)展模式，冠名以“北京共識(shí)”，將之與“華盛頓共識(shí)”相提并論。The longterm outlook for the Chinese economy is still a highly positive one, thanks in part to the following ，工業(yè)化和城鎮(zhèn)化將繼續(xù)為中國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展提供強(qiáng)勁動(dòng)力。這正是中國為什么將上海世博會(huì)的主題定為“城市，讓生活更美好
