Are you happy that you chose English?

Star's picture

Many of you are in university right now studying English. Others of you have already graduated and are now looking for (or hopefully have found) a job. Are you happy with your decision to pursue English as a major or do you wish you had chosen something else? Do you believe that focusing on English is a good path to finding a decent job in China or do you now realize that perhaps another major would have been better?

And what would you tell your friends and relatives who are now thinking about attending university? Do you tell them that they should go for English or do you suggest that they avoid this major?

I look forward to reading your comments in this week's debate zone.

If someone asks me it is good to choose English as a major in university, I would say yes.But I would not encourage him to choose it. In most of time,people would ask you to translate this or that into English since they know you are English major .What if you do not know how to translate, they would think you are not a qualified student as English major.I feel upset about it.

I am happy that I choose English. Because I like English. I enjoy speaking English fluently. But I don't like learning English by studying quietly. Speaking is the most useful way to learn English.

Nowadays, more and more people are learning English.It is gradually becoming a kind of trend. Why? In my own point of view, I think that people have realized the importance of learning English for the following reasons: First of all,English is an internationnal language.Many countries in the world consider English as thier offical language. Sencondly, the importance of learning English. as everyone knows that English works as the language of interntional confrences. A large number of books are printed by English. A better grasp of English can make you have a better understanding of the whole world.

English is very practical in daily life ,i like english,and i will try my best to learn it well.

I have no regret in choosing english as my major because i do want to study nothing but language. Maybe I will keep on studying language not only english but others like french or spanish. i think it's fun and it may be useful when some day i go aboard.

In my opinion, English is my interesting major.So I like it and I will try my best to learn it well.But in firms of the job,I think if I learn English well and I can speak English fluently,as well as if I have a good lucky,I could find a job.So I think that we should choose something based on our interest and then we will do it better.

Ah....auctually I do not like my major now,because I have no passion to learn English as a major.The reason why I choose it is that my parents insist on it.They think it is good for looking for job.I really don't agree with them,but I still obey to them,because at that time I don't what I am intested in. So...yes!I am here now !

I like English all the time.But now that I am a student of English major,I feel that it's difficult for me to use English to communicate with others,especially in class.In other words,maybe I should practise more and be confident enough to talk in English.Well,I admit that my English is poor and I need to try my best to improve it.To tell the truth,I hate to fall behind than others.So,no matter the future of mine is very unforeseen,what I have to is,turn every failure into success.I am not worrying about my way to job hunting,but the meaningness for me to choose English as a major.I should think about it for a while and find out whether I am fit for that.Thank you.

when I was in high school English is my favorit subject . But now as an English major I find that we should make efforts to learn it.

I am very happy to learn English.It is very important to learn English well and the English is very popular all over the world.

well, i did like English beforehand.but now ,i am a little tired of it.I mean when i have to remember the vocabulary,the grammar or whatever,it's a little tired.And i m confused about my future. You know, most students know English .Also,they know others majors.But to me,i know nothing but English .so sometimes i worried about it.Anyway,i still feel happy because i can chat with people and foreigners in English even though i m not very good now. Maybe 50,50 percent.After all, i m an English major student,and i should be interested in it .Keeping the interested feeling is what i should do.

I do love english.I have never ever regretted learning english,although I suffered a very sad beginning.Through learning english,I could gain happiness and confidence which I haven't feeled from any other subjects.It makes me feel energetic and active,and My mind would be focused on the words speaked out from teachers in every english class.So I appreciate the precoss.Undoubtedly,english really plays an important role in job hunting.With a good knowledge of english,we can have more opportunities than others who haven't.what's more ,if my friends or relatives ask me about english major or english learning ,I will say:"Go ahead,It's a wonderful language "!

yeah,i love English very much.From i was in middle school which i first study English,my
English is not good.Because many of my classmates have been to training course of English,but i didn't.So I always studied English with spare time.Day after day,my English became well step by step.Until now,my English is not good but also not bad.When I was a undergraduate,I always get up early to read English.This nearly sticks to about two years.But now i haven't do this.yeah ,that's a pity i know.All in all,i like English,i like to watch English movies and listen English songs.I like the feeling of speaking English very fluently.

I like English very much! So I don't have any pity to choose it to be my major. I will try my best to learn it well!!!

Well,I donnot care much about the decision.For me,choosing an positive attitude is the most important thing.Once you choose it,and then you should believe what it will bring to you.It maybe not the best major,but it surely can make sense in your life if you can handle it well.

I started to learn English since I was 10 and I was quickly addicted to it because of my charming Engish teacher.I like her voice and the patient teaching. I thought English was the most beautiful language that I have ever touched.Up to now ,I still like English very much although I didn't choose it for major,but I want to use my English to hant for a job,I hope one day I could be an intepreter.But I don't suggest my relatives for choosing English for their major.Because it is not a major,just a tool being used to communicate,I suppose.

Generally speaking ,English is a very important language! It is used all around the world!
It's a tool for us to communicate with the word.Now,the world just like a small village,English
is essential for us.
To myself,I'm fond of learning English.it's a happy time to pass the CET6,I think learning English well may help me find a god job!
