Recently, the Ministry of Education responded to the suggestions put forward by the National People's Congress representatives to reduce the weight of English in subjects. The full text affirms the role of English in talent growth and economic and cultural construction, and emphasizes the need to improve students' oral skills. It is equivalent to tactfully rejecting the suggestions of the NPC deputies, which makes people who question the status and role of the main English subject feel very disappointed. Judging from the reasons given by the Ministry of Education, it is still defending the importance of English. It is advocated that the main status of English cannot be weakened, and that students' oral skills must be improved. This means that the burden on students’ English will be further increased.
On the surface, it is necessary to transform from "dumb English" to "practical English", but the premise of practicality is still solid English theoretical foundation and vocabulary. Tongye, the ability to improve his oral communication in English must pass the listening level. As we all know, listening can be said to be the most difficult for Chinese students and is also the part that loses the most points in the exam. This means that the burden of English has not decreased but increased, and students will spend more energy and time learning English.
Is English really important?
Africa, which has spoken English for more than 100 years, has not yet appeared in a developed country. India, which also speaks English, has an economic foundation that is even better than my country in the early days of its founding. However, it was far behind my country after 50 years. The most comparable ones are Philippines and Taiwan. The majority of people in Hewan cannot speak English, and their speaking skills are far inferior to those of Filipinos who are born to speak English. However, except for exporting maids, the Philippines has not developed higher science and technology, and its overall economic strength is far inferior to Taiwan. Moreover, students from these countries can understand English science and technology papers and received Western colonial education earlier.
History and reality show that English has nothing to do with the strength of a country.
Filipinos' English level is much higher than Taiwan, but their economic level is lower than Taiwan, which only provides convenience for maid output
. Regarding this, experts are worried and issued a warning: Continue to maintain the status of English as the main subject, and even strengthen the status of English as the main subject by strengthening oral language in disguise and increasing the burden on students, which will bring six major disadvantages of .
1. It consumes a lot of energy and time for students, affects the improvement of thinking and innovation ability, and restricts the breakthrough of my country's original scientific theory
We know that in the context of English occupying the main position and the whole people blindly worship English, students spend 1/4-1/3 of all learning time every day. Especially as the big exam is approaching, rote English will take longer to memorize. Apart from learning, there is no time to think, practice, or innovate. How to expect Chinese students to improve their innovation abilities? ·
And people in the UK and the United States use the same large proportion of time and energy to think about innovation. This is an important reason why our students' hands-on and innovative abilities are generally inferior to those in the UK and the United States. It is also the source of the lack of science and technology in the original field of my country. English consumes a lot of energy and time for students to lose.
English wasted on students and on-the-job talents' energy and time, and they may be inspired by how they can understand English papers. Judging from past experience, professional translation is sufficient to be competent for the translation of English papers, and the translation is more accurate. If everyone goes to translator, it will inevitably lead to a thousand faces, but a slight mistake will lead to a thousand miles of mistakes.
Everyone can understand English papers, which is a regression in concept. Even if everyone can do professional translation, it can only bring one result: it is to smash the jobs of millions of translators, and you still won’t have creative thinking. Because you can only imitate and follow the West from English papers. Just as most countries in Africa that speak English and can understand English papers still lack the ability to innovate scientific and technologically. , . Those who admire English may wish to sort out our country's original science and technology and see how many people get inspiration from English papers.For example, quantum theory application technology , hydrogen bomb structure, t youyou's artemisinin . For example, the super high-sonic weapon of our country and Russia. If there is such technology in English papers, the first one must be the United States and other countries that publish the papers.
Did Tu Youyou win the Nobel Prize because she understood the English paper?
In addition, a large amount of rote English information also squeezes out the brain capacity of talents, making them unable to store more other more valuable knowledge. Many innovations come from inspiration, and inspiration comes from the brain's "automatic logic " for storing information. When a person's brain stores a large amount of useless English information, it will reduce the storage of other knowledge. will also interfere with the "automatic logic" of their brain just like high blood lipids affecting blood flow, and thus cannot send out the spark of inspiration.
is visible, continuing to strengthen the main status of English. Continuing to increase the English burden of students will continue to restrict students' innovative thinking and innovation capabilities, continue to weaken my country's scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and thus affect economic and social development.
2. Intensify the outflow of efficient talents such as Tsinghua and Peking University
Tsinghua and Peking University English teaching, further eliminate obstacles to going abroad, and intensify the outflow of talents
will not continue to strengthen the main subject status of English, but will also intensify the phenomenon of outflow of talents. For example, most students use English to teach in Tsinghua and Peking University. Originally, these students have a strong foundation in English. English teaching will further enhance their listening and speaking skills, which will fuel their motivations when they go abroad after graduation and open the door to convenience. If the status of the main subject of English is abolished, students of Tsinghua and Peking University will have to spend a lot of time and energy to continue their studies and study English after graduation. In this process, many people will stay at home to develop, so that more talents can stay, thereby effectively curbing the phenomenon of talent outflow.
3. Promote good women to marry outside and deepen the crisis of bachelor
Language is not only a tool for communication, but also a firewall for communication! If you count all families who marry Africans, we will find that 99% of them are girls who speak English. It is precisely because of English and communication is not a problem that the love offensive carried out by Africans can achieve results. If a girl speaks poor English, or knows English more easily, and it is difficult for Africans to understand Africans, it will be difficult for Africans to express it effectively, so the chances of a girl falling in love with Africans and marrying Africans are very low.
Children who learn English not only forget the dialect, but also can't learn Chinese well
Unfortunately, we have been learning English since kindergarten and speaking. Just prepare for the achievement of international weddings and train preparatory brides for foreigners. Just like Tsinghua and Peking University became the preparatory class , which became the American talent. Learning English from kindergarten will also strengthen the noble status of English, and thus strengthen the mentality of admiring foreign countries, which will further encourage the atmosphere of marrying foreigners. The problem is that there are still 30 million bachelors in our country who are hungry for feeding, and true love is hard to find. There must be someone who comes first and then arrives, and there is a difference between inside and outside. National English will further intensify the crisis of bachelors' pomp to the end.
4. The bachelor crisis will aggravate the risk of less birth and further reduce the population update capacity
Faced with the crisis of aging, the country is now advocating having more children. Under the side effects of the English language of the whole nation, how do more and more bachelors respond to the national call and how to achieve sustainable population development? Strengthening the status of the main subject of English and the "emphasis on speaking skills" will completely eliminate the language barriers of Zhongweilianyan. Good women not only marry outside Europe and the United States, but also go away in a love offensive with a clever tongue, Asian, African and Latin America. It is bound to accelerate the arrival of the era of negative population growth and aging. It will also affect the harmonious social structure and the sustainable development of the social economy of the lunar calendar.
English helps good women to marry outside, further deepens the crisis of bachelor
5. Encourages the mentality of admiring foreign countries and weakens the ability to resist cultural invasion
Long term regards English as the main subject, and also takes English as an exam for professional titles, resulting in the generalization of English - a tool that most people cannot use. This has intensified the blind advocacy of English and further promoted the mentality of advocating foreign countries. In fact, English itself is a foreign culture. English has long occupied a dominant position, and even to the point of developing as a child, it can be said that it is a major result of the invasion of foreign cultures. "I don't know Mount Lu because I am in this mountain." People who have been immersed in English for a long time have difficulty seeing the true face of English as a bridge of invasion and invasion of foreign cultures. Foreign festivals became increasingly popular after the 1990s, and English as a bridge for cultural introduction "makes indelible contributions"!
Someone once said: to destroy a country, one must destroy its culture, and to destroy its culture first, one must destroy its language. Today we place English at almost the same position as Mandarin, and there have been signs of "China-Western" oral language, and language pollution continues to deepen. With the deepening of globalization, the risk of replacing English with Chinese as people's preferred language in daily life cannot be said to be non-existent.
All English encourages the psychology of worshiping foreign countries and provides convenience for cultural invasion
55. Encourages the psychology of worshiping foreign countries and fawning foreign countries, weakening the ability to resist cultural invasion
The regional dialect that really needs protection and inheritance is disappearing at an astonishing speed with the promotion of Mandarin and the accelerated population mobility. dialect, as the "living fossil" of the evolution of human race, not only has great archaeological value, but also itself is a cultural tool for condensing "one place, the other person", and is a carrier and link for nostalgia. If the people of a country forget their dialects and have no homesickness, it is hard to imagine that the flowers of patriotism will bloom. Just imagine, do you expect a person who doesn’t love his hometown to be patriotic? Can you settle in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou today, and you will go to the United States to buy a house tomorrow. For example, Sima Nan.
English starts from the doll, which obviously adds insult to the protection and inheritance of dialects. Imagine if a child has the opportunity to speak dialect in addition to speaking Mandarin and English? The long-term admiration for English has not only aggravated the risk of invasion of Western culture, but also exacerbated the extinction of dialect culture.
English not only excludes dialects, but also cannot learn Chinese well
To sum up, the existence and abolition of English's main subject status not only concerns the academic burden of children, but also concerns the students' innovative thinking, the outflow of high-end talents in Tsinghua and Peking University, the country's innovation ability is extremely improved, and the issue of cultural invasion and cultural confidence. It is time to pay great attention to it and make up our minds to reform.
can only pull English down from the altar of subject education, and only have the main subject status except English. Only by allowing the entire nation to go into battle lightly and remove the shackles of thinking innovation can we release the vitality and ability of the entire nation to develop innovation and development. Only by being more culturally confident, effectively resisting cultural invasion, and better and faster achieve the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Let Chinese culture and Chinese go abroad and to the world!
