There has been controversy over whether English should be abolished in the college entrance examination, because in the mainland, English and Chinese mathematics are in the same position, commonly known as the three main subjects. The fact that a foreign language can be on a par with our mother tongue really makes one wonder if it is necessary for us to place such an emphasis on English. Recently, a netizen even called loudly on the Internet, hoping to cancel the English language.

Let's listen to his voice:

The abolition of English is urgent. How many students' futures have been ruined and how much time and resources have been wasted, and the education department can't see it? I don't deny the importance of English, but it doesn't mean it should be a barrier to higher education. The top priority is to change English from compulsory to elective, reduce the weight of the test, and completely reduce the burden on students.

I have to admit that this netizen's suggestion is not unreasonable. Nowadays, the weight of English is indeed too large, and it is not impossible to lower the test score appropriately.

First: Most children have been learning English for more than ten years and may not use it for the rest of their lives.

With the development of science and technology in the world, we also recognize that learning English is very important, at least it is a way to understand the world. But we also have to admit that for most Chinese students, after learning English for more than ten years, they may not be able to use it for a lifetime.

As long as you don't work in a foreign company or go abroad, you basically don't need a foreign language, and even if you do, you may be able to cope with the English proficiency in elementary school. But in today's education, whether children can use it in the future or not, they have to work hard to learn English, and it is still the three main subjects, and the score is still so high. Many students are blocked from outside the university because of their poor English, especially many male students, which is actually not conducive to our selection of talents.

More than 20 years ago, the famous scholar Chen Danqing resigned in a fit of anger because he eliminated many outstanding students because of the English exam, so he could not recruit his favorite graduate students. Now, there must be many outstanding students who can't be admitted to graduate school because of their poor English, isn't this worth reflecting on?

Second: Our children spend too much time and energy on English, and if the score is lowered, it can also reduce the learning burden of students.

Nowadays, the study load is too heavy, especially in English, almost all children are attending tutorial classes, and the energy and financial resources paid are amazing.

Looking at the current primary school students, many of them have been learning English since the first grade, and they have started to take new concept tutorial classes in the second grade, and some will hire one-on-one foreign teachers in order to improve their oral English. I can't imagine how much time and money everyone spends on English from elementary school to university. This is completely disproportionate to the role of English in their jobs after college.

Nowadays, English learning has formed a complete chain of interests, tutoring institutions are busy making money, and children are busy studying, which seriously increases the burden on students and parents. So it's imperative to lower your score, there's really no need to put English in such a high position!

Of course, we also have to know that it is even more unfriendly for children at the bottom to really cancel English or lower the score.

Whether it is to cancel English or reduce the English score, in fact, it is not friendly to children at the bottom.

Quite simply, children from wealthy families can learn English well no matter what, even if the school doesn't teach it, they can spend money to attend the best training classes, hire the best teachers to tutor them, and their English scores will not be too bad. But it's different for children at the bottom, if the school doesn't teach them, they will have no chance of learning English at all, and they may not be able to learn English for the rest of their lives, so they won't be able to go to a good university. Very simply, many of the textbooks used by well-known universities in China are in English, and the teachers are all in English, if you don't know English, these universities will not admit you. At that time, the children at the bottom will not be able to turn over at all!

Nowadays, papers published in internationally renowned journals must also be published in English, and if you want to be internationally recognized, you must learn English well, so it is still important to learn English well.

Write at the end

Many people are looking forward to the abolition of English, in fact, it is impossible to abolish English, because the world's most advanced science and technology are still in foreign countries, and we have to learn from others, so we really need a lot of foreign language talents. However, it is possible to lower the score, because it does not delay the selection of excellent foreign language talents, and at the same time, it can also reduce the burden on students. It's time for English as one of the three main subjects to disappear, so let's reduce the burden on children!
