Why do we study English? I watched a movie yesterday, it‘s called "English Vinglish", a story that an Indian housewife learned English in 4 weeks in New York. I have leaned English for 10 years since middle school, but I can barely use it for talking.The education in China is so ineffective,I spent 10 years on learning English but can't use it to talk with people.I met a American in company three days ago, its so embarrassed that I forgot the words when I am trying to talk with him.I believe the correct order to study a language is listening,speaking, reading and writing.The English teachers here, from primary school to high school, are totally failed about this. We were just training for kinds of exams, no one cares about whether you can use the language, all they want is a high score in exam. Though people have learned English since primary school, there are just a little part of them will use it in the future, most of the people have no chance to use English in their rest life.So, why do we study English?
