Hello, everyone. This time I want to share my points about the reasons that why we should study English well with you.
At first, I think if we want to acknowledge English speaking countries’ history better, it calls for this skill. Because they regard English as a mother language,and they log everything in English, of course history is no exception. It is impossible for us to have an overall comprehension upon it if we even can not understand the meaning of words. Some people may say that they can read it after translating, but as far as I am concerned, translators often put their own emotion into translation, that is to say, sometimes we may get confused by them. I think history is the root of one country, and it often decides people’s way of thinking and their judgment of value. So if we are good at one country's history , we will have access to understand this country better.Having a multicultural view can teach us to ponder a question from different angles, melt the barrier and misunderstanding between different countries. This is one reason that force us to study English well.
The other reason is that a good English skill is an essential element for people who are eager to build up an international horizon. As we all know, English is an international language. Learning English well makes it convenient for us know your foreign buddies’ idea, then, we can assimilate their points, convert them into our own knowledge. In this way, not only can we broaden our eyes, but also rich our brain. There is no doubt that this is a good chance for us to become more competitive. Everyone what to be a winner in this society, so studying English just like a investment ,the more effort you put in, maybe the more revenue you will get! This is a strategic measure for our self-development.
Finally I want to say that we should never ignore the importance of learning English. Definitely, we need to study English well!
The first paragraph is good,but i think your
ReplyDeleteideas are not clear.In other words,i think the two views are similar
Thanks for your comment!
DeleteThis blog is rather meaningful. I strongly support the idea that you said the translations might be emotional and we may get confused by them. It reminded me of an experience: when I was reading a fiction which was already translated in to Chinese, I found that I couldn’t understand what the writer wanted to express, then I read the original one and finally found out that it was the translator’s fault who lead to this misunderstanding. Since then, I began to know the importance of learning English well for reading English fictions. So I agree with you on this point.
ReplyDeleteGood point.Thank you Jiangze!I've picked up new words and phrases like "call for" "assimilate" and so on. I strongly agree that there is no better way than to learn its language if you want to get to know a country.
ReplyDeleteLearning to speak and write the English Language is definitely an asset in today`s context. i`m not quite sure I understand the connection between language and history. Perhaps you meant the colonisation of Western countries has a great impact on the language used in the colonised territories as in the case of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteLiving in a global village,being able to speak languages in addition to one`s mother tongue has become very important where communication is concerned. I`m glad you realise the importance of learning the English Language. It is still the universal language.
I do like your work, and i do think we have many simmilar opinions in the importance and necessity of learning English and learning it well. Since learning English is so important nowadays, i also think we must grasp this language to a certain degree.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have written is very meaningful and vital for us students to know about.I also learn many good words and collocations form you,you really have a rich vocabulary!
ReplyDeleteSorry，maybe I don't agree with you.I think we need to master the language well just because the most popular language is English and we have to do so.As for history,on one hand,it's not worth to waste so many time to learn,and maybe a few people care about when the King James II was killed and what happened in Boston in 1773.On the other hand,you may have forgetten Germany,France,Japan and other important country,they don not speak English.As for the errors about translating foreign novels or something,maybe the probability is less than 1/10000.
