My answer is absolutely NO! Although “dumb English” does exist, it is not a reason to cancel the status of English as a major subject. It is a problem in English teaching, and the solution to this problem needs to be discussed. English is an important tool for human communication in the era of globalization. It plays an important role in broadening students’ views and enabling China to gain a head start in globalization and information technology. Zhou Yaokai, 18, Sichuan As far as I’m concerned, making English a less important subject in the examination will not improve English education. Conversely (相反地), this may make it even worse. If English classes are reduced in high school, students will have no choice but to spend more time on out-of-class(课外) study, thus deepening the involution (内卷) in English education. Meanwhile, for areas with poorer education, this will make schools and students think that English is not important, which goes against (违背) the original intention. In my opinion, we should focus on making the English education environment better through contextualized (情景化的) teaching rather than dull grammar teaching. In this way, our English expression can be more flexible, which can help spread the voice of China. Xu Ziming, 17, Jiangsu As an English major, I hold a firm disagreement with lowering the position of English in exams. In this score-oriented (分数导向的) society, once the standard is lowered, people will pay less attention to English. What we need to do is not deny the importance of English, but reform the curriculum (课程) system into a fair, time-adapted one.
