Li Beinan, Class 3, Senior 1, Shenzhen Xin’an Middle School Instructed by Tang Ying As students, we are required to learn English every day. We have English classes with homework. Opinions on whether we should learn and be proficient in English vary from person to person. Some people support the idea while some others don’t. So why on earth should we learn English? First of all, learning English is a good opportunity for us to know the world. Nowadays, it’s universally acknowledged that the world is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, English has been given more and more attention. If I am good at English, I can read English articles easily to know what is happening in the world and learn various interesting cultures. In addition, learning English can help us to mature. Reading English articles can help us enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizons. We can also exchange ideas with people from other countries to know their perspectives. In this way, we can learn how to consider a thing from different angles, which helps us to grow up to be mature people. Furthermore, English can help us become brave and confident to express our ideas. English is a language, and it can be learned only by communicating with others. When you are learning English, you have to practice speaking it with others and sharing ideas in class. Then, you can become brave and confident. Last but not least, English will help you get an ideal job. If you are proficient in English, you can stand out among many job seekers and get the offer. All in all, learning English does us too much good, so we are supposed to study hard to learn it well. |
