Right now, the English education system is geared towards
passing exams. Theoretical knowledge is emphasised and taught in classes to
help students get high marks on their examinations. To compare with the past, although
it has changed a lot, there are still some similar phenomena. When I first
touched English class, taught Grammar, reading, writing, listening but without
speaking or very little practice of spoken English. Moreover, we had very
little liberty discussion and critical-thinking are usually forbidden in the class. I think it is an incredible joke to
study a foreign language without communications.
If you do a trip to China and couldn’t speak any Mandarin,
you will realise the fact that will be very hard to find a native to make a
conversation or asking directions because most of people cannot speak a whole
English sentence even if in attractions.
However,it might be the best time to test your body language you couldn't waste.
On the other hand, if you come from an English country, you
can very easily make new local friends who are really want to improve their
English skills. Also, if you are handsome or beautiful, it is easy to make
girlfriends or boyfriends as well.
Good Luck!
It is same in Japan. People in Japan study English for passing exams.
ReplyDeleteYour ideas is interesting, Especially, it’s last one
ReplyDeleteHaha your writing is humorous. Yes, that is the point, a foreigner can hardly find someone to check road directions in China due to too less of people can speak fluent English.
