Why we study English?

1091 views. 2009-6-12 09:47 |

It is universal admitted that an increasing number of English-learning training classes have been existed in almost everywhere on the earth, and that also means that English has been the most preferred international language throughout the world. However, there is a question in my mind: why we study English?

 

A vast majority people maybe answer this: we spend so much time on English learning in order to communicate with foreigners in the daily life. That’s right, of course, and in some extent, that’s really an imperative reason that we couldn’t ignore and neglect. Some people because of work requirements, contents and family or friend relationship, they have to communicate with foreigners every day, they have no choice but to learn English well otherwise they will lose their jobs.

 

And there is another question for us student: why we study English? Some students maybe reply immediately that in order to find a desirable and ideal job, actually, in my mind, that’s just part of the truth.

 

For us students, I think English level or English skills are just the basic and premise of our all professional study. We could understand and deeply learn some foreign professional knowledge after we learned English well in that why we students have to learn English well, that’s my viewpoint. With the develop of China all industries, almost each industrial field need to refer and learn from the most sophisticated and advanced foreign knowledge, in this sense, we students have to learn English well.

 

Don’t still think we learn English is just for passing English examinations or just for communication with foreigners, that’s really just the beginning of our all life study, and what we should do now is to make full use of our leisure time to make a greater progress in English learning.

English will , for a long time, play an important role in the world's culture comunication and also the political and economical attach . But as chinese , we can not neglect or even forget our own language . On the contrary , we have to take great measures to widen and spread our country's culture .

The question have arised for  many years since we began to learn english.Many compositions in exams had used this subject.Our teacher taught us how to write an article from this discussion....

This week,I wached a news program on CCTV4 which discussed this question again.Some new ideas suggest not to exact people to learn english for professional title or graduation.Beause most Chinese learnt english for many years have not got chance to use it with foreigner.It is useless on the surface.But I think English should be as our another official language so that frequently it will be used.With globe economy developing, English is an important means to open oversea market.So we must learn english to connect with world.

For those who are not majored in English yet learning English, they can apply English as a tool to learn advanced technology and other aspects of knowledges. Good.
For those majored in English, there is only one purpose, to earn money.

The purpose of learning English is communicating.
In fact, the English has won the most beautiful language centuries ago--Shakespeare has ruled the world.
That's why nowadays, we are learning to appreciate this language. No other great figures can be compared with Shakespeare in terms of literature.

Economy always plays the most important role which affects the way we act in life.
My teacher in college once sighed to us, "Once the Japanese learned Chinese from us, now we Chinese are learning Japanese so as to get a good job." Let's not talk about economy, economy is always a good reason to explain all things, even marriage.

Unique characters? Don't you think every language has its unique characters? English has its logical beauty, Chinese, poetic, Japanese, rhythmical and whose words are the easiest to pronounce in this whole wide world. French, they say it's romantic, and Korean, spread far and wide now cos of its soap operas based on handsome guys and pretty girls.
Don't you think the reason you have given is a vague reason?
Shakepeare has defined English in the scope of culture and literature.
Capitalism and the economy have personified English as a VIP(Think about pounds, pounds still exist in spite of Euro)
The above are involved with Great Britain.
And last but not least, America, the Hollywood movies, their important role in the world and such other aspects have made English part of our life.
Don't you think so?
