These days a discussion about English learning becomes a hot topic.Xu Jin, a national political(政治的) adviser, said that English should not be a core subject like Chinese and maths.More course hours should be given to improve students' skills in physical education, music and art.He thought English took up about 10 percent of class hours, but less than 10 percent of university students use the language at work.“It was a waste of educational resources and students felt great burden(负担) on their shoulders.Moreover, smart devices(设备) can offer translation services and in the age of AI, translators(译者) will be among the top 10 professions to be eliminated(淘汰),” he added.Some people agreed with his opinion and said they wasted too much time studying English at school because they don't use it in their daily lives.They thought it should be better to spend more time learning Chinese language and culture.
However, Zhang Lianzhong, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it was wise to make English a compulsory course(必修课) from third grade in 2001.Students can open their eyes and improve their language ability through leaning English.English teachers should also focus more on improving students' language skills, not exam-taking ability.
