As an exchange student from Korea, I first read your magazine in 2010 when I studied at Beijing International Studies University. I gained a greater understanding of Chinese people's lives and the broader society in which they live by reading your interesting pieces. My favorite section is the Language Corner – it is very helpful for me as I can learn both English and Chinese better by reading it. I noticed that the first issue of 2012 has added a new section, Chinese Idioms. Chinese idioms are of course very rich in cultural connotations and they are widely used in daily life in China. I believe a deeper knowledge of idioms will greatly improve my Chinese language proficiency. I look forward to learning a new idiom every month in your magazine. Jiayou!
