It can be said that it is reasonable or unreasonable.
Many of us, after passing the college entrance examination, finally one day the college entrance examination has nothing to do with ourselves. When I was a freshman, I looked at the children in the college entrance examination that year and thought that I had entered the college entrance examination room, timid but expecting, afraid but brave. This exam determines who I take classes with and who I play games with.
Before the college entrance examination, it can be said that most people know astronomy above and geography below. At this age, we spend almost a quarter of our time studying Chinese. Chinese is the main subject of the college entrance examination, and Chinese is our mother tongue. For us who are admitted to the university, Chinese is really no stranger, so it is no problem for me to blurt out the Preface to Lanting.
Therefore, from this perspective, it is reasonable for universities, especially science and engineering, to take Chinese as an elective course and English as a compulsory course; Because English has no mother tongue effect, but today's world is fully integrated, and even most of the materials we learn are in English, there is really no reason why we should not learn English. Look at college students now. If English becomes an elective course, reading English materials may be like reading a gobbledygook, isn't it?
But from the perspective of China culture, this is unreasonable. Chinese is the mother tongue of China people, and Chinese is a subject that China children have never left since childhood. Is it inappropriate to leave so suddenly?
In fact, sometimes when I read historical stories and allusions, or when I am poor in words, I think Chinese is really a very important course. You can look at all kinds of poems, such as Sand and Preface to Lanting. Every capital is the essence. China has a history of 3,000 years, and the essence of the ancients has been passed down to this day. We should understand these and be a real literary youth. More still feel that today's China culture has been diluted, and our sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger. We should attach importance to the study of Chinese and history courses.
