People all over the world all know that learning English is very important, especially in China. It is said that English, driving and computer are the basic living technology in 21st. Maybe it is a litter bit exaggerating, but it is truth in China. If students want to graduate from university, they must pass some special English exams. If people want find a new job, though experiences are very important, English is another symbol of personal ability, even their new job do not need English.
I am learning English for about 13 years. My English is still not so good. If I do not go aboard to study, I do not need use English. Sometimes I think Chinese pay much more attention on English, however, there are so many students in China, not every student need to learn English. They can develop other non-English ability. Because If people spend many times on learning English, and after that they find they do not to use English. It is waste money and time.
However, I think some basic useful English must be learnt. It is useful for tourism and accidents. English is lingua franca all over the world. It is much easier for people themselves if they can speak some useful English.
I think English is not the only way to achieve our goals. and not all the successful people can speek English. Chinese is becoming popular recently, so English may no longger domianate the world language in the future.
