Learn English.

Benefit 1: The biggest benefit of English learning craze is that it has promoted the great development of education, training and publishing institutions related to it, brought hundreds of billions of markets, expanded "domestic demand" and promoted the employment of a large number of people ... (Is this significant? Doubt! )

Benefit 2: Let the whole generation know 26 letters, look up the meanings of some words in the dictionary, and use several short sentences such as "Love Tiger Oil" fluently. ....

Benefit three: it's gone.

Secondly, simply explain the necessity of English learning.

Question 1: Laborers. English and Chinese are two different languages, which are quite difficult to learn. However, due to the pursuit of the government and society (I'm afraid there is also the psychology of worshipping foreigners), English has been pushed to a very high position, and the most important things in life, such as employment and further studies, are related to the personal English level (it is suggested that those who fail the English exam in the future should not get married and have children, so as not to affect the English level of China people next door! Then there is nothing more important that has nothing to do with it! ) ..... This leads to students learning English, but no one pays attention to the atmosphere of professional courses ... In this way, a large number of college students will only learn a little English that they will never use (forget it after the exam), and the professional courses are very lax, and I don't know if it is worth it!

Question 2: It hurts money. In addition to English trainers, the state spends a lot of money to teach English to children all over the country every year. In fact, students need to learn a lot of knowledge. This poor education fund is far from being a "useless place with money". People's money is also given to the country, but what is the result of Qi Xin's concerted efforts throughout the country? It is to train a large number of farmers who know a few English words, netizens who can only say "love tiger oil" and unemployed people who can only know goodbye! Of course, not all of them learn so badly, but those who learn well are almost technical idiots who don't know any major. In my evaluation, they "know what foreigners mean, but they can't express it well in Chinese". These people whose English is better than Chinese are probably useless at home. Spending money to train the above-mentioned series of talents ... do you think it is a loss?

Question 3: English is actually a wonderful skill of killing dragons. That's all that matters. If something is costly but meaningful, then we will definitely support it! For example, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and Taiwan independence, no matter how much money and blood we spend, we will support it to death! But I'm afraid that's not the case with English education. China's study of English is in keeping with the idiom "killing dragons".

This idiom says: a man bought all his possessions and went to the mountains to find someone to learn the wonderful work of killing dragons. After studying for three years, I came back to give a performance to the villagers. People say: your skills are cool, but where can you find so many dragons to kill? It's better to learn to kill pigs than to learn this ... isn't that why you learn English? If you spend a lot of money and energy, there are two final results: one is that you can't learn well (people who can't learn well and don't learn very well must account for more than 90%). Needless to say, money and time are definitely wasted, otherwise you will delay your professional study because you spend all your time on English learning that you are not good at! The second is that you have learned fairly well. This result is a little better than the first one, at least in acting. There are two kinds of people who learn well: one is an English major (1% is not enough) and should learn well. Most of these people are very talented in learning languages, and they can learn well without learning since childhood. In the past, when the whole people didn't study, the state also spent some money to train such people, so it was not as good as before. The second one is aimed at non-English majors, and there are two situations: one is aimed at academic research of this major, and these people have not wasted English well (I personally think that only they need to learn English); The other is to engage in the specific work of this major after graduation, so most of these people can't use English, and English has become the most pathetic skill to kill dragons. Often the ability to kill dragons is useless, and the ability to kill pigs has not been learned!

Inbo is a wonderful skill of killing dragons+wasting people and money, is it worth it?

Off-topic: What should a correct language education look like? In my opinion, foreign languages should be included in the normal teaching plan as an auxiliary subject. Every grade should teach a little basic knowledge of English, so that those who are interested can study hard and those who are not interested can understand it. Basic teaching of other languages (Russian, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, etc.). ) should be set up in all qualified schools so that people can read their letters and learn to look them up in dictionaries (except grammar). English is taught as an elective course in universities, but it is not a hard assessment item. As for those who need to learn English, I'm afraid they will try their best to learn it without your evaluation, and because they often use English, they will learn it well and remember it firmly ... just as Confucius said, "It's not bad after learning." The funds saved by compressing English education can be used for students' production and life skills education (that is, killing pigs), which will be more meaningful to our society!

In view of the above reasons, I really don't understand what the education authorities in China think. What kind of educational guiding ideology is this? I feel that the expansion of English is a conspiracy of English-speaking countries and a conspiracy to weaken our nation and country! Not to mention that I can't learn English well, even if every farmer can speak English, so what? ! Look at the former British colonies in Africa and Oceania, where the indigenous people fought for independence. They are all in English. Should they fall behind?

Language is a carrier. What matters is not the language itself, but the knowledge it expresses. As a country, the fundamental purpose of learning another language should not be to use it to express one's thoughts, but to use it to learn knowledge that this country does not have! Knowing this goal, we also know what kind of educational policy we should adopt: as the public, we don't need to learn a foreign language, it is enough and the most economical to learn our own language well and master the knowledge carried by our own language; Since university, our country has made great efforts to train a group of people with both professional knowledge and language talent to learn foreign languages. This is called "specialization". They are used to absorb the knowledge carried by other languages and express it in our own language, which becomes a part of our language knowledge base. They are carriers, and through these professional carriers, we constantly enrich the connotation treasure house of our language! Wouldn't it be better to do this economically and materially? !

In a word, I think there are serious problems in English education now, which is a serious waste and irresponsible practice and needs to be improved urgently!
