The influence of English

(1) From the perspective of the whole world, the number of people who speak English has exceeded that of any other language. English is the mother tongue of more than 10 countries, the official language of 45 countries is English, and one third of the world's population (more than 2 billion) speaks English. For example, in Japan, in addition to their mother tongue-Japanese, English is their second language, and many Japanese executives are proud to speak English.

? (2) 75% of TV programs in the world are in English, three quarters of emails are written in English, and computer keyboards are English keyboards. Any conference that dares to call itself an international conference must use English as the working language, which is also the official working language of the United Nations.

Second, how to learn English.

(1) When you decide to study English seriously, the first thing to do is not to buy a grammar book, but to train your ears and start to recognize and accept the unique sounds brought by this new language. Skip the step of translating into your mother tongue in your mind, and you can learn to think directly in English, otherwise you will always be practicing "translation".

(2) Pay attention to avoid grammar books that show every grammar rule in great detail. This overwhelming and even uncontrollable grammar list will be a disaster for you when you teach yourself. You need more than one English pronunciation book that fully explains the English pronunciation system and describes the mouth shape and tongue position in detail, so as to complement each other.
