Whether English is important, useful and necessary to learn and discover the following aspects.
First, the need for language communication.
There are thousands of languages used in the world, some with millions of users and some with few users. Chinese is spoken by the most people, and English is spoken by the most countries. In fact, with the rapid development of communication and transportation, the world is getting smaller and smaller, and exchanges between countries are becoming more and more frequent. It is necessary for most people to learn English.
Second, the needs of career development.
At present, the most published books in the world are in English, and the use of English newspapers every day is equal to the sum of newspapers in other languages in the world. More than half of online scientific and technological documents are published in English, for example, about 60% of chemistry and chemical literature materials are in English. If you want to make outstanding contributions in these fields, you must know English.
Most people will inevitably come into contact with English in their study and work. If the English level is not good, it is difficult to make great progress academically, and some positions in some industries also need to be exposed to English frequently. If personal English is not good, career development may be limited.
Third, employment demand.
I remember that around 2000, not many people learned English well, and those who knew English were better employed, especially those who had skills and could meet English in some industries were in demand. Simultaneous interpretation is paid by the hour, and English once became a popular major in universities. Later, with the high popularity of English, many local primary schools began to learn English. Now even some kindergartens are learning English. With the high popularity of English, English is no longer scarce. But if we don't learn English, English will become scarce again.
We have studied many courses at school, such as Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, history, politics, biology, geography, sports, music, art, information technology, mental health, life safety, labor skills, local courses and so on. Does everyone have to be excellent in every course? Is English important to you personally?
