Recently, the Ministry of Education has drafted a reform about English, it is said that English will be not the subject that take into account of the College Entrance Exam, a lot of students feel excited, because they think English will not be their burden. The reform may relieve some students who are week in English, they think they don’t need to spend so much time in learning English, because English is not important any more. The fact is that they get the wrong idea, English still important even though it will be no more considered to be the College Entrance Exam. The trend is people learning English since they are young, parents pay special attention to the children’s second language, so most students now are good at English. What’s more, English is the most widely used language, it can enhance a student’s competition. So English is still important to learn.
最近,教育部起草了一向关于英语的改革,据说,英语将不再作为高考科目,很多学生觉得很兴奋,因为他们觉得英语从此不再是他们的负担。这个改革可以给英语不好的学生减轻压力,他们觉得不用再花那么多的时间来学习英语,因为英语变得不再重要。事实上,他们这样想是错的,英语虽然不再作为高考项目,但是它仍然很重要。现在的趋势是,人们从小就学英语,家长很注重孩子的第二外语,因此大部分学生现在的英语都很好。而且,英语是最广泛使用的语言,它能加强学生的竞争力。所以英语仍然是很重要的。
