Nowadays it is a trend for Chinese to learn English. Without certain certificates showing their English ability, it may be hard even to find a job, even though most jobs have nothing to do with English. For some, it is a waste of time and resources for so many people to learn English.
On the other hand, it is believed that grasping a foreign language means obtaining a useful skill, which could make a person be able to fulfill more jobs and demands in the society.
To me, the most time-consuming task for students in China is learning English. They have to spend a lot of precious time reading, memorizing words, and doing exercises. To them, the only meaning in English learning is to deal with tests. Therefore, it is not necessary for all the people to learn English. (139 words)
