中國英語熱的爭議

冷眼相向嚴重浪費教育資源的英語熱

有一個關於英語四六級證書的笑話：一對熱戀中的大學生，男孩向女孩曆數了自己的若干缺點：窮、脾氣不好、甚而「好色」……女孩卻不改初衷，依舊柔情萬種。最後，男孩說了一句話，女孩聽完之後悲憤不已，揚長而去。這句石破天驚的話就是：「我四級沒過」。

四六級考試已經成為一個產業。有學者說「英語四六級考試每年對GDP的貢獻是很大的」。

hahahha, are you serious? hahahaha, What a bloody snobish attitude that girl has held towards English!

No wonder I am still single, as I have never ever passed C4 or C6, I reckon I will never ever be able to pass C1 in my entire life.

English goes to hell! [:816:]

Is it so serious? I remember when I was in Grade 2, I passed c4, and Grade 3, passed C6. I was so lucky at that moment that the score was 62.5 and 61.5 respectively. If now you want  me to take the test, Iam a-fraid it is hard to pass, almost everything  has been given back to the teacher.
Sorry!

I have never taken that test. I do not know whether I can pass C6

On one hand, it was said that there are 400 million Chinese learning English.  On the other hand, There are so many English errors in publications and signs in China.  Is it, should I say, ironic?

i guess it may be called "an opportunity window", meaning you should see any opportunities available and seize them before they disappear. i have no idea what the ministry of education has in mind. i suspose the ministry would have no plans to turn english as a second language for young chinese students. but if they doesn't have, why so much investment has been made in money and time? it can be said that a good portion of the youthful life has been sucked into this black hole of extraordinary business gravitational force. is the cet-4/6 a business of the ministry, or ministry officials? these are just my suspicions and i hope all this can be proved wrong.

看看國內怎麼教和考中文和英文的,根本就不是從實際運用和需要出發,老外去考那些狗屁東西也是一頭霧水的不及格.
重要的是,破壞了學生閱讀和寫作的積極性.
所有的功課說到底都為了應試而已而不鼓勵觀察思考.沒有了觀察思考,閱讀和寫作自然缺乏方向和動力,其實也就沒有了學習這個語言的必要.
