你认为想掌握中文的学生为什么必来中国学习？Why do you think students come to China to learn Chinese?

学习一门外语更令人愉快的是学生有一些即时的满足感。学生可以在上完课的第二天去邮局邮寄信件到自己的家。实际上用一门外语完成任务要比在考试中得到高的分数更有成就感，这种即时性的满足感只有亲自在中国说中文才能感受的到。

Learning a foreign language is much more enjoyable for students when there is instant gratification. A student can use what they learned in a lesson about the post office to go and mail a letter home to their family that same day. Actually accomplishing a task in a foreign language can be much more rewarding than receiving a high grade on a test. This type of instant gratification can only be felt by speaking Chinese in China.
