We Do Need English Recently, Beijing Education Department has announced that the full mark of English in the college entrance examination in 2016 will be 100 points, which has dropped 50 points from previous years. While the Chinese will be 180 points, the mathematics remains the same, still 150 points. After the news has been exploded, this policy has caused great attention among the public. Some people even wonder: do we still need English as before? And the status of English still remains the same in China? Well, as far as I concern, English still an indispensable part of our daily lives. 最近，北京市教育局宣布2016年的高考英语总分将为100分，较之前的150分下降了50分。而语文将提高到180分，数学保持不变。此消息一出，就引起了社会的极大关注。有人甚至问到：我们还像过去那样需要英语吗?英语在中国的地位是否保持不变?在我看来，英语始终在我们的生活中是不可缺的一部分。 Firstly, English language is of crucial important in international cooperation and exchange. In this competitive world, no country can survive without any other contact with others countries. And throughout all the interactions, English, as a global language, is the bridge for us to communicate with other people who from different culture, different countries. Two thirds of the world trade is conducted in English. In order to perform our duties and enjoy our rights as a significant member of WTO, we do need English by all means. |
