Nowadays, some people say English is not important and it shouldn't be a main subject. Some people say English is still very important in the world. What do you think of English? The following answers are from some students in No. 2 Middle School.
Wang Qizhou, 13
English is necessary because people around the world have become closer to each other than ever. As a result, we might have to communicate with native(本土的) English speakers. Many of us already do so. My father works in an international company and he uses English while working. For example, he needs to answer emails or phone calls in English and use English apps. Although he is 45 years old, he is still learning English!
Li Ruoxi, 13
▲ Learning English is not just about learning a language. It can tell us about the lives of people in other countries—how they work, study and live. Different languages help us think and feel in a different way. Through taking a look at different cultures, we can have a better understanding of the world.
Zhang Mengke, 14
English should stay as one of the major school subjects. Some say machine translation can help us, so we don't need to learn English. However, I don't think we can completely (完全地) depend on machine translation. Translation apps still make mistakes, for example, in the fields of business and law. We should at least be able to read emails by ourselves.
Huang Xinyi, 14
I think that we should still study English, but not as a main subject. There is no good English-learning environment in a Chinese-language society. So it's challenging for most people to learn English. Many students spend a lot of time learning English but don't learn it well. It takes so much time and effort(努力) to study it that we might not have time to get better at other subjects.
