Besides the language forms above, we still have some other ways to exchange ideas or information. For example, in ancient times, Chinese people relayed(传递) fire signals(信号) at night and smoke signals in the day from one Great Wall watchtower(岗楼) to another so that war messages could be rapidly sent over great distances. Nowadays, people use the language of flowers to communicate meaning (e.g. rose=love; tulip[郁金香]=formal announcement [宣布]of love; forget-me-not=keeping me in your memory).;2. Yes. Although Chinese is the most spoken language, English is the most widely used around the world. It’s useful to learn English if you want to travel, do business or study abroad.

When I began to learn English in primary school, my English teacher introduced many English songs and simple poems, which made learning English interesting and helped me develop a good sense of the language.
