Answer 1

It was officially reported that Beijing education authorities had planned to reduce English scores on standardized tests from 150 points to 100 points in major cities by 2016. Different people have different opinions on learning English. Some people think it is not necessary to learn English because English is only learnt for passing exams. Most people don’t use English at all after they graduate.
I don’t agree with the opinion above. First of all, our country is still a developing country.Only through English can we get a chance to learn the advanced science and technology from foreign countries. Besides, it will be much easier for us to communicate with foreigners and make friends with them if we can speak English frequently. What’s more, we can understand western cultures better and learn something more about the countries and the people.
