Learning English for What?
|
It's quite happy when I found this place. People here are all English fans.
However, a question have come to disturb me recently.
That's: Why we learn English, expecially why do we make English as our major? A major that is just know something about a language? What's more, I guess many English majors might be not so familiar about their own culture whereas they know a lot about English countries.
So what dreams u to be an English major?
What job will you do in the future because of English?
What kind of skill can you master after four years' study of English in the University?
By the same way, I want to claim that there is only few people is capable to be an English translater or an interpreter.
What about the others who make English as theire major?
If u have some ideas about it, please share it with me.

- What's the point of investing so much time and effort in learning English? Personally, I don't have a good anwser to this question. A decade ago, we might say that we study English painstakingly in order to find a good job. However, with competition intensifying day by day, English majors have lost their advantages on the job market. Whenever I find a non-English major talk with foreigners in very fluent English, I feel not only puzzled but also scared. How long will I still hold to my present post. All I can do is improve my English to sharpen my competitive edge. But I don't look very competitive as you can see from these words

- Here we all call English as "Bird Language". To us, it is only a tool for communicate with birds!
