1、阅读下面的短文，然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。

If you find it hard to learn English, think of the foreigners who learn Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese around the world reached 100 million in 2017, 1. Europe’s first Chinese-English primary school recently opened in the British capital of London. But do you know how foreigners learn Chinese? Mike Fuksman, Teens’ foreign editor (编辑) from the United States, has lived in China for more than seven years. 2.他想和我们一起分享他学习中文的故事。

Like many foreigners, Mike only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when he came to China in 2009. As we can probably guess, his life was difficult for a while after he arrived.3. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite stressful. Milk knew he had to learn more Chinese, so he signed up for a class. His teacher was very helpful, although Milk didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. 4.后来，他也坚持自学,但是进步缓慢。 He became very disappointed.

Finally, he found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native (本土的) speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, 5. Mike started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of his best friends in Beijing. He learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out with her. In this way, he’s learned enough Chinese to take care of many tasks.
