【題目】The Reasons of Learning English

Today lots of people in China can speak English and more and more people are learning this language. Then what do they learn English for? We have done a survey and here are some people’s reasons:

Alice White: I like traveling by myself very much. I’ve been to many places in China, and I plan to travel to some foreign countries. English is the most widely used language in the world, so learning English will do great help to my trips.

Mark Smith: I’m actually not so interested in English. I like Chinese much better. However, I have to learn English. We have to take English exams and the score of English takes a large part in the total score. Luckily, I’m not doing too badly in it, or I’ll have to struggle(奮斗) with it.

Ben Green: It is necessary to learn English. As you know, the competition in the job market is very fierce(激烈的). If I have a good knowledge of English, I will have a chance of getting a good job.

Kate Lu: It’s interesting, isn’t it? I can get information that others can’t get. I can talk and write letters to interesting people that others can’t communicate with. And I can always make people surprised by speaking good English.
