Why learn English?

"Knowing is not as good as being good, and being good is not as good as being happy".

Personally, I think that the best way to learn is to look at the essence and interest, and the most helpless time is to look at the demand. You can't live without learning English, and you don't have to be uncompetitive. You need to look at the problem dialectically.

But let's give a few examples first:

1, Yao Ming and English: He is in good condition and plays basketball very well. He just needs to play ball. It seems unnecessary to learn English. If he really doesn't want to learn, really no one can do anything about him. But in order to live and communicate better in the United States, communicate with more experienced excellent players and communicate with coaches, he still mastered English skillfully.

2. Zhang Ziyi and English: When the little girl in Zhang Ziyi attracted the attention of the whole world with her good looks and good acting skills, she was interviewed by others, and her English was terrible; But later, I made up my English, and finally at the award ceremony, I was able to answer fluently in English. What shocked me most was China herself, but she also saved face for herself and China.

3. Li Yanhong and English: Li Yanhong, CEO of Baidu, is really popular in recent years. I saw an interview with Robin Li earlier, and he interviewed and answered all the questions in English, including the English used by Baidu veterans Xu Yong and Liu Jianguo. It seems that Li Yanhong popularized our Chinese search engine and explained his corporate culture with the complete ancient culture of China, "Looking for her in a thousand Baidu". It doesn't seem necessary to learn English, but his English is still very good, because he went to the United States to study after graduating from Peking University, and then he founded Baidu, trying to break the monopoly of American search engines in China (in fact, he has already done so).

4. Koreans and China people: I have many contacts with Korean groups. No Korean I have ever met can't speak a little Chinese. Although South Korea keeps saying how great they are, they all think that they will not be competitive without learning Chinese (as long as they go to college, a large number of them will go abroad to study English; But in recent years, many of them have come to China to learn Chinese, and children have also started to learn Chinese. Of course, Koreans feel a little "religious" about China people in China, but they have to admit that their national resources are insufficient and they need to come to China to make a living. This is just a relevant example to illustrate the purpose of learning a foreign language.

Some netizens replied that "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" is quite right and has its own needs. If a person says that his future job has nothing to do with English and he hates it, then he can't study at all.

I like it when I'm interested. For example, like a singer, he (she) sings in English completely; For another example, I like a subject, and the advanced works of this subject are all written in English. You can also attack when you like, so you can learn faster and more motivated.

I hope I can help you.
