Why learn English?

My original answer is for you:

"Those who know well are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy."

Personally, I think: the best thing to learn is to look at the essence and interest, and the most helpless time to look at the needs. Not learning English does not mean that you cannot live, nor does it mean that you will not be competitive. You need to look at the problem dialectically.

But let’s give a few examples first:

1. Yao Ming and English: He has very good conditions and plays basketball very well. He just needs to play basketball. It seems that There is no need to learn English. If he really doesn't want to learn, no one can really do anything to him. But in order to live better in the United States, communicate, communicate with outstanding players with more experience, and communicate with coaches, he still mastered English proficiently.

2. Zhang Ziyi and English: When Zhang Ziyi, a little girl, attracted the attention of the world with her good looks and good acting skills, when others interviewed her, her English was terrible; but later she improved her English, and finally she could She answered fluently in English at the award ceremony, which shocked us Chinese the most, but she also saved face for herself and China.

3. Robin Li and English: Baidu CEO Robin Li has really become popular in recent years. I have seen Robin Li’s interviews earlier, and they were all interviewed and answered in English, including Baidu’s veteran Xu Yong, Liu Jianguo and others all use English. It seems that Robin Li promotes our Chinese search engine and interprets his corporate culture with the complete ancient Chinese culture "Looking for her through thousands of Baidu". It seems that there is no need to learn English, but his English is still very good, because after graduating from Peking University He went to the United States to study, returned from his studies, and founded Baidu, trying to break the monopoly of American search engines in China (in fact, it has already been done).

4. Koreans and Chinese: I have a lot of contact with the Korean community. There is no Korean I have ever met who cannot speak some Chinese. Although South Korea thinks they are great, they all think that if they don’t learn Chinese, they will not be competitive (in the past, as long as they went to college, most of them had to study abroad to learn English; but in recent years, many of them have to come to China to study Chinese, children start learning Chinese). Of course, South Korea has a somewhat "traditional" feeling towards China's Chinese language, but it has to be admitted that their country's resources are not enough, and they need to come to China to make money and make a living. (This is just a relevant example to illustrate the purpose of learning foreign languages)

Some netizens have answered before, saying that "learn from the foreigners to learn strategies to control the foreigners", this is quite right, and there are own needs. If a person says that his future job has nothing to do with English and he hates it, he doesn't have to study it at all.

I like it whenever I am interested. For example, if you like a singer, he or she sings entirely in English; another example is if you like a subject, and the more advanced treatises on this subject are all written in English. You can do more surprises when you like, so you can learn faster and be more motivated.

Hope it can be helpful to you.
