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年的高考英語(yǔ)總分將為100分,較之前的150分下降了50分。而語(yǔ)文將提高到180分,數(shù)學(xué)保持不變。此消息一出,就引起了社會(huì)的極大關(guān)注。有人甚至問到:我們還像過去那樣需要英語(yǔ)嗎?英語(yǔ)在中國(guó)的地位是否保持不變?在我看來,英語(yǔ)始終在我們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.
英語(yǔ)在國(guó)際合作與交流中有著重要作用。在這個(gè)充滿競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的世界里,每個(gè)國(guó)家都要與其他國(guó)家進(jìn)行交流溝通,免得就不能生存。而英語(yǔ),作為全球通用的語(yǔ)言,起到了橋梁的作用,幫助不同文化背景的人們順利溝通。世界上三分之二的貿(mào)易用英語(yǔ)完成。為了更好的享受和履行我們?cè)趪?guó)際貿(mào)易組織的權(quán)利和義務(wù),我們無論如何都需要英語(yǔ)。
Secondly, English is compulsory in elementary, secondary and further education. One has to pass the English tests to get his certifications. Although we don’t need English so much in our daily lives, but when we turn on the computer, listen to the radio, we may find English is everywhere. So, it’s quite necessary for all of us to master a foreign language. Even in the developed countries, students are required to learn at least one foreign language. And learning English make contributions to one’s development to some extent.
其二,英語(yǔ)在小學(xué)、初中、高等教育中都是必修語(yǔ)言。只有通過了英語(yǔ)考試,才能拿到畢業(yè)證書。雖然在日常生活中我們不怎么用到英語(yǔ),但是當(dāng)我們打開電腦,收聽錄音,我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)英語(yǔ)無處不在。所以,掌握一門外語(yǔ)很重要。即使在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家,每個(gè)學(xué)生都會(huì)要求學(xué)至少一門外語(yǔ)。英語(yǔ)也為個(gè)人發(fā)展做出一定得貢獻(xiàn)。
Although the English marks of college entrance examination will drop to 100, we still need English in our daily lives. With the rapid development of economic and cultural globalization, learning English is still the tendency for the young generations. It’s not only the tool for people to communicate, but also the golden key to get personal development.
雖然高考英語(yǔ)總分會(huì)降為100分,但在日常生活中,我們還是需要英語(yǔ)。隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速發(fā)展和文化的全球化,學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)依舊是年輕一代的趨勢(shì)。英語(yǔ)不光光是人們用來交流的工具,也是個(gè)人發(fā)展的金鑰匙。
