Some thoughts about our education.

Does that mean most Chinese students can speak excellent English, right? In fact, the reality is contrary to our assumption, Most of them actually just regard English as a course, not a language that can be utilized in their lives. The content in English class is not teaching students how to talk with others, just teaching them how to fill in the blanks on the examination paper.

Students shouldn't be blamed for their poor English level. We should reflect on our educational circumstances now. I think, for students, learning a subject should based on their interests, only in this way can we spur them on so that they will focus their passion on it intuitively. A better result will be reached in consequence.

Fortunately, I have a great interest in English, but I find that I don't have enough resources to help me learn it. I hope people who are willing to help me can give me some advice.

Hello Steven,

This is a comment that I hear from many students from all around the world. Lessons are focused on reading, writing and grammar and if you are really lucky listening - as you say whatever is needed to get the exam results, with the result that students with a good standard of English are scared to open their mouths in case they make a mistake.

There are a few mistakes in your text, learn words that go together as a single unit, reflect on, spur sb on, in consequence. Also the word 'advice' is an uncountable noun so you can't use plural form.

Best wishes

Bob

Some thoughts about our education.

How ridiculous is it that almost every school in China is paying lots of attention to establish English courses, whether they are high school, junior schools or even colleges.  

English is one of the most important mandatory courses in college entrance and high school entrance examinations.
Is that means most Chinese students can speak a excellent English, right? Does that mean that most Chinese students can speak excellent English? 

The reality is, in fact, contrary to our assumption. Most of them actually just regard English as a course, not a language that can be used in their lives. The content in English class is not teaching students how to speak to others, it is just teaching them how to fill in the blanks on an examination paper.

Students shouldn't be blamed for their poor English level. We should reflect on our education circumstances now. I think, for students, learning a subject should based on their interests. This is the only way we can encourage them, so that they focus on their passions with initiative and drive. As a consequence of this approach, they will achieve a better result. 

Fortunately, I have a great interest in English, but I find that I don't have enough resources to help me learn it. I hope people who are willing to help me can give me some advice.
