"Actually, you're right. Yes, learning English has an immeasurable effect in these aspects.”
Chen Qiang's tone paused slightly and continued,
"I'm not saying that it's useless. Yes, it's useful. With my status today, I'm able to become a professor in the field of physics. It has provided me with the ability to assist in my studies, which is at least indispensable. However, it's also because of this that I'm even more opposed to our current education in English. I even feel that English should not be kicked out of our nine-year compulsory education. It should be kicked out of the compulsory subjects!”
Good fellow!
After Chen Qiang finished speaking, everyone was stunned in their hearts. This was simply getting more and more ridiculous!
Just now, Chen Qiang had only expressed his objections. What about now?
He was going to kick English out of the compulsory course and take the compulsory exam!
Such a change could be said to shake the entire Grand Xia!
Professor Chen Qiang was either a lunatic or extraordinary.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Chen Qiang continued,
"Yes, what you said just now is correct. English plays a significant role in all these aspects. However, it is precisely because of this that I want to kick him out of the nine years of compulsory education, not like now!
Firstly! Today's foreign language education has seriously hurt our next generation. Our young students and parents here all know how much time English takes up in their daily studies. Moreover, it's extremely inefficient. It takes up a lot of time, but it doesn't get good results. So what's the point of letting them learn like this?
Was it just to use all of his youth and risk it all for English, and then use this thing that he basically didn't use much in the future? It's still the same as what I said earlier. What does he mean to most people?
I know that some people might say that sometimes the knowledge learned in mathematics is not useful, right? No!
As a professor of science and engineering, let me tell you that mathematics is completely meaningful. A deeper foundation in mathematics can help us understand the world, but English can't!”
After a slight pause, Chen Qiang said,
"I know, there might be people who say that learning English will allow us to communicate with foreigners when we meet them in the future. Let me ask everyone, with your nine years of compulsory education, how many of you can communicate with foreigners when you really face them?
Don't tell me to say nice to meet you! And then there was nothing else? What's the point?"
The people at Chen Qiang's seminar asked.
Hearing his question, everyone was at a loss because they could not say anything at all.
Communicating with foreigners?
What kind of joke was this?
Just as Chen Qiang said, if they really faced foreigners, they would probably be able to speak the simplest English sentences to foreigners.
Nice to meet you!”However, was there any meaning to these things?
Spending a lot of youth, a lot of time, day and night, just for these two lines? To put it bluntly, if you taught the old man outside the door for two days, he would basically say a few words about this to everyone.
Puff!
Hearing Chen Qiang's last sentence, many of the audience suddenly laughed out loud.
It was real!
No matter how much the English language was praised nowadays, wasn't the actual situation the same as what Professor Chen Qiang said?
"Moreover, why is it that when foreigners come to our place, it's not that they speak Chinese, but that we have to learn English and then communicate with them in English? Comrades, cultural confidence! In our own territory, we still have to communicate with others in English. We don't need to do this! Have you ever seen people from Great Xia communicate with us in Chinese when we go to other places?”
Chen Qiang said.
After hearing this, many of the audience started to think carefully. They also felt that it was very strange. They had spent a lot of time learning English during their youth. Could it be that they were waiting for these foreigners to arrive so that they could communicate with them in English?
What kind of logic was this?
I spent so much time studying just for this?
For a moment, they also felt that it was a little nonsense.
"Some of my friends might say that I might be able to use this English when I go abroad. Don't be so confident! Comrades, do you think that the broken English that most of us speak can satisfy the needs of communicating with others when traveling abroad?
Even if you learn well, where else can you go to communicate? Only America!
"As a citizen of Great Xia, you can't understand the English accent of other countries. You can't understand the dialect between the two provinces of Great Xia. Do you think we can understand the English dialect of other countries? What kind of joke was this?
Did you learn English just to travel to America? Then I just want to say that you've really wasted so many years! The United States was a country that had been established for less than 300 years. Even if you were to travel there, what was there to see?”
Chen Qiang said.
More and more of the audience members were gradually awakened.
The purpose of today's seminar was to let the children understand and learn more English. However, after listening to Chen Qiang's words, a huge doubt appeared in their hearts.
What's the point of me spending my youth learning this?
