The argument I want to tell is should American immigrants’ children or Americans’ children learn their native language. I am a Chinese and I am really interested in language. Through my research, there are a lot of American immigrants’ children living in US who can’t speak their native language. It is true that they are Americans. After I watched a lot of videos, I think American immigrants or Americans should learn their native language. (If their families are American immigrants or were foreigner) The audience of my paper is American immigrants and Americans who have foreigner families. My paper is more likely a persuasive paper and I will use some logos to persuasive my readers.

After I watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeulOmmrSpk), I feel very deeply. The video mainly talks about the attitude of parents for letting their children learn Chinese in US. Most of parents says they are willing to let their children learn Chinese. The reason is even their children are Americans in law; however, their race is yellow people (Chinese).

I have a lot of friend who are Americans right now. I will interview them to discover their opinion. I will interview Mason and Leo.

My plan is:

Friday: Interview my friends

Saturday: First draft

Sunday: Review my first draft

Here is some resource I may use:
