Worryingly, China's college students, graduate students and doctoral students spend almost half their time studying English at school, while China's universities have almost become "English" universities. Some people say that the level of university education in China has declined seriously. Among them, apart from the massive enrollment expansion, another important reason is that students are troubled by the burden of learning English and spend too much time learning English. How difficult is it for universities in China to catch up with those in the United States?
They don't have English classes, CET-4 and CET-6. They devoted themselves to studying professional skills and emerged successful people like Bill Gates. However, college students in China cannot graduate without CET-4. If they consider Band 4, they will spend a lot of time learning English, memorizing endless words and prepositions. How can they catch up with America? The starting point is different. ?
The situation of learning English is even more bizarre in society. Everyone has to take a foreign language test when looking for a job and raising a professional title. No matter what you do, whether you have worked abroad or not, whether your work has anything to do with foreign languages, as long as you want to improve your professional title, you must take foreign languages, and even those who engage in Chinese medicine, China history and China literature must take English exams. Is this necessary? Even if all China people can speak English like Americans, China is still China. Crops will be planted by farmers and factories will be built by workers. ?
Improving national strength depends on comprehensive strength, not mainly on foreign languages. Many English-speaking countries in the world are also poor because they don't develop their economies. At present, China people have really raised the status of English to a higher level than Chinese. Nobody cares about poor Chinese, but poor English. In fact, as far as language is concerned, China's Chinese is the best language in the world, and its excellence is unmatched by other languages.
"If you don't see it, how can the water of the Yellow River move beyond the sky" is both heroic and artistic. After being translated into English, it has become the vernacular "If you don't see the water beyond the sky". The greatness of Chinese is not only reflected in language, but also in the magnificent history of Chinese civilization and countless classic documents of Chinese culture written in Chinese. British people can't understand the works written 300 years ago, but China people can understand with relish the exquisite classics such as The Book of Songs, The Analects of Confucius, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West, A Dream of Red Mansions, etc. We can share with relish the life wisdom summed up by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, thinkers and strategists like Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Laozi, Xunzi, Han Feizi and Sunzi two thousand years ago.
As far as writing itself is concerned, Chinese characters are definitely masterpieces of human language and writing. Every Chinese character is an abstract painting, which is more wonderful than Picasso's abstract painting. If Picasso's abstract paintings are priceless cultural relics locked in an exhibition hall, then Chinese characters are a lot of cultural relics that are more valuable among ordinary people. The content of Chinese characters is the crystallization of China people's wisdom for thousands of years. The shape of Chinese characters contains profound rhythm and beauty. Learning such words is of great benefit to people's ideological and intellectual growth. If we love language, the people of China should love China people from the bottom of their hearts. If we don't learn English, compared with English, we will find that Chinese is really great. It is really a blessing for you to be born to speak Chinese. At present, China people know too little about such excellent Chinese characters, or even lost them. I suggest that every university in China should offer free training courses on China culture and thought for many years. As China people, only by learning our quintessence Mandarin well and truly understanding the greatness of our national culture can we enhance our pride as China people. ?
