英语要被当做选修课吗

English should be made an optional course in high school.

First of all, my answer is no.As a Chinese, we may have been tortured so many years by a demon called English. We have learned English from the simplest ABC to the most complicated academic thesis written in English which is what we are learning now. I’ve heard much enough words like, I really had enough of English, or why should I learn English, I’m a damn Chinese. But I know those are just complaints.

As the most commonly used language in the world, English is a road to the whole world. Moreover, it acts a role of fundamental tool to get familiar of splendid culture of some English-speaking nations, as a result, we can eventually broaden our horizon. These are the words our teachers and parents told us like thousands of times whenever we doubt the meaning of learning English. After hearing that, we would soon be energetic again to jump into the sea of English. Why don’t we even try to struggle? Because we all know what they have said are genuinely true and English is a major course we are going to have a test on it.

So let’s go back to our topic, if English really become an optional course, what will happen? Obviously, for people who hated English so bad since they were children will absolutely not take English as a major course and soon jump out of bitterness. But don’t be optimistic. Do you really think you will never learn English anymore? You still have to learn English in college. What’s more, you are less likely to pass a CET4, 6 and taking a risk of not getting a bachelor degree.

My second point is quitting English will become an excuse for students who don’t even try. They will say like I don’t have the sense or any talent on English, I feel awful every time I saw English letters, so I quit. If taking English as an optional course, lots of students will lack the stimulus of learning it. We’d better not let so many unknown chances ahead of young people slip out just because of temporary laze.

Thirdly, for those most outstanding students talented by a sense of other courses,like math or physics. They may be said that they don’t need to learn English. It’s a sort of wasting time for their brilliant brains. I want to point out that they are very a few of millions of high school students. We cannot take those specialties as specimens.

Overall, as the development of globalization, we should not take English as an interest we can choose whether we are going to learn or not. Instead, we should regard it as a necessary ability. According to this wide-spread ideology, English course never should be taken as an optional course in high school.
