2005年北大考博英语真题

　　After more than 20 years of speedy development, China has made great achievement in almost

　　every aspec ts, especially in foreign trades. At the very beginning, language barriers hindered the

　　scale and volume of foreign trades and even brought about many disputes and losses. As the result,

　　the proportion of foreign language teaching, especially English, in China’s educational system has

　　increased annually.

　　Concerned about our large population and the education degree people received, we find that the

　　number of those who can understand English is relatively small, let alone those who can speak

　　fluent English. So from this point, combined with my own experience, I think our emphasis on

　　English language teaching is very necessary and it ’s far from enough.

　　For example, most of college students, if they’re not majored in English, can barely organize very

　　simple sentences and their listening comprehension is very poor. Most of the time, they can only

　　say “hello” when they encounter a native English speaker. And one of the reasons that caused this

　　situation is that teachers used to apply more Chinese rather than English in the class. Besides,

　　students after class seldom practice English, so their chance of touching English is too rare. And

　　the situation is far from being ameliorated. As a result, the English standard of students is very

　　low.

　　Now the situation is undergoing slow improvement as many graduates who studied abroad now

　　became college English teachers. With their hardworking, English language teaching has made

　　progress. But we are still far from achieving our aim of bringing up enough students fluent in

　　foreign languages.

　　So, I think English language teaching in Chinese education is not overemphasized. On the contrary,

　　it should be more strengthened.
