Is it necessary to cool down English?

A few days ago, the Shandong Provincial Education Department revealed that the foreign language subject score of the Shandong Provincial College Entrance Examination in 2014 will be reduced by 30 points. This is another foreign language reform message for the college entrance examination in Shandong Province after announcing the cancellation of the unified foreign language listening test for the college entrance examination in the summer of 2014 - Needless to say, the status of English is getting higher and higher now. Once some kindergartens are dubbed "bilingual", parents will flock to them; various English trainings are in the ascendant in society, and various forms of English exams are emerging one after another; many children are hurriedly learning English because they are not good at speaking their mother tongue. English education has become a cash cow and a money-sucking machine.

In fact, over the years, there have been constant calls against the overheating of English. There are many disadvantages to the overheating of English. First, it consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and takes up precious time of students. As a well-known professor pointed out, our country spends a lot of education funds on English education, but the benefits obtained at such a high cost are not great. Since students are not taught in a foreign language environment, a lot of time is wasted. Second, the proportion of English in some examinations is too large, which affects a large number of talents with other specialties to stand out. Third, the overheating of English has also impacted society’s emphasis on mother tongue. Students' energy is limited, and studying English feverishly will inevitably take up time for studying Chinese. Many middle school students do not have time to read classics and spend all their time learning English.

As we all know, the mother tongue plays the role of inheriting the traditional culture of a nation. To protect our traditional culture, we must treat our mother tongue well. As Yu Guangzhong said: "English is at best a tool for us to understand the world, and Chinese is our root."

I think that the Chinese nation has rejuvenated and become a giant of human civilization. From a linguistic perspective, It is necessary to grasp both "Chinese" and "English":

1. English is an international language or a global language. A great Chinese nation that wants to be recognized by the world, English is an indispensable medium and The role of a bridge (this is caused by historical reasons, omitted), and at the same time, 80% of the inheritance of world scientific and technological civilization relies on English (teaching and scientific and technological literature in famous universities around the world). In today's world of rapid technological development, it is difficult to imagine how human civilization can survive without English. To make progress, English is indispensable;

2. Holding high the banner of Chinese language, there is a long way to go to promote Chinese language globally, and the global promotion of Confucius Institutes is a good example. At some point in time and space in the future, perhaps 500 years later, Chinese will become one of the teaching languages ????in the world's famous universities and the world's language of science and technology. The foundation of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely be preserved. 3. Chinese and English will both inherit the heritage of the Chinese nation. Civilization, English is not only a tool for us to understand the world, but also a way for the world to understand us. It is unimaginable that a nation that is not understood by the world can become a great nation. At the same time, we hope that Chinese will catch up with English and become a global language.

Domestic students may not be able to use English throughout their lives. This is a consequence of the domestic English exam-oriented education and teaching model, but this is not a reason to weaken English learning. Background: No language environment, poor application ability, students have no interest, inappropriate methods, exam-oriented education, at best, high scores and low ability. English exam-oriented education and teaching models must be reformed (everyone thinks differently). As long as you have the right method and are interested in learning English, it is the best to learn compared to other courses, because God created people with the innate ability to learn multiple languages. We just don’t know (omitted). If our English ability can be close to that of Chinese, our life and work will take on a different kind of beauty. It will be like having wings to travel around the world at will. This feels really good.

The foreign language reform of the college entrance examination can be divided into liberal arts and science subjects. There is no need for listening test in science subjects, but it is necessary in liberal arts subjects.

I feel the same way. Foreign languages ??are much more popular than Mandarin, which makes Chinese people think deeply!

Requiring CET-4 or CET-6 regardless of major is a disservice to the country and the people. Limited educational resources should be used in actual work rather than tools (English
