Is it necessary for senior high school students to learn a second foreign language?

A second language refers to another language that people learn and use after acquiring the first language. Often used as an auxiliary language and lingua franca. In addition, the second language can also be listed as one's mother tongue alongside the first language. Learning a second language may often be because the first language no longer has advantages (social changes, political purposes, etc.). For example, the Canadian census defines the first language as "a language that has been learned and used continuously since childhood", and the language that humans first learned may be lost and replaced by another language. This may happen when children and their families move into a new language environment (due to immigration or international adoption).

High school students need to learn English in addition to learning Chinese in high school. English is now the most popular language in the world. Although Chinese is the most spoken language, it is because China is a populous country. While mastering foreign language learning, students also have the skills to communicate with people in different languages.
