是因为钱要政府出，有时候纳税taxpayer人有意见，说政府应该把奖学金给本国学生而不是外国学生。所以很困难。

但我们现在已经在扩大奖学金范围But we are now in expanding the scope of the scholarship.。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学生人数大大增加了，这说明奖学金难归难，你们还是有办法来留学的。

我想教育交流在未来会非常重要，我也希望，每一次外国学生来英国学习，回去时就像是一个英国大使The British ambassador，到他的国家为我们宣传，不管是在中国，俄罗斯还是哪个国家。所以我们在扩大教育规模，吸收更多海外留学生Absorb more international students。所以你们继续申请奖学金So you continue to apply for a scholarship，我们会尽力帮助的。

Q: Mr. Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University. I was deeply impressed by your support for Sino-British中英的 educational exchanges, but I was also sorry to learn that some universities in northeastern Britain have decided to cancel the major of Chinese Culture and Language, among them the University of Durham. Will this affect cultural and educational cooperation between our two countries? If so, what is your solution?

A: 讲到学校的课程When it comes to the school curriculum，既然我听说了这件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不过大学做出这样的决定原因很多，也许是经济原因，或者是他们面临某种困难，这也是时有的事。要把想做的事都办成，钱总是不够的。不过我可以向你保证，我们会一如既往as always地欢迎中国学生来英国学习，就算杜伦大学没有合适的专业，其他大学也肯定有。 Lesson 5
