There is a English mania throughout the world over decades, lots of contries list English as their mandatory subject, students can not graduate if their English proficiency do not certified. You and me are deligent English-learner, plenty of people in our society are ambitious as well. In contrast, Mandarin-which is our mother tongue-is less emphasied in our society. Please watch the short (around 10 mins) but impressive clip and share your opinion toward following questions.
Q1. What trigger you learning English? How do English really benefit you?
Q2. Last year, Mandarin test for entering college was not mandatory anymore. For instance, 10 of 11 medicine school had already abandoned counting Mandarin test score as their entrance threshold, does this phenomenon really matter?
