Improving the English Quality among the Chinese People:
A Necessity for China's Development in the 21st Century
By Chen Xin
With the rapid development of science and technology, China is facing more and more opportunities and challenges in the 21st century. We need to communicate with the outside world in every aspect. Therefore, it has become a necessity to improve the English quality among the Chinese people.
The advantages of improving the English quality among the Chinese people are multifold. Firstly, with a good knowledge of English, we can take in more advanced technology and management experience, which are very important for our modernization construction. Secondly, as more foreigners come to China, and more Chinese go abroad, it is becoming urgent for us to learn English well. Or we will have difficulties in understanding each other, which will get in the way of our development.
In a word, English is of much importance in every respect of China's development. So every one of us should do our best to improve our English quality and get prepared for the coming opportunities and challenges.
