The
World’s English Mania
By
Jay Walker
(Summary)
Jay
Walker on Ted.com :
Mr. Walker stated that,
there are so many examples of mania in the world. For instances, Beatlemania,
sport mania and religious mania which involve the identical of people within
those groups. But, manias can be good, manias can be alarming, or manias can be
deadly. Learning English has been a new mania in the world. There are
approximately 2 billion people in the world learning English. Most of all, in
China. This year, China will become the world’s largest English-speaking
country. The proof is Chinese student has started learning English in third
grade.
The reason are, English
as an opportunity for a better life, a job, to be able to pay for school, or a
better food. Students’s score in one test literally determines their future by
studying 12 hours a day for three years to prepare and 25% of her grade is
based on English. 80 million high school Chinese students have already taken
this grueling test.
For short, He concluded
that, English doesn’t mean to wash away other languages. English is the world’s
second language. By English we can become part of a wider conversation — a
global conversation about global problems. English also represents hope for a
better future where the world has a common language to solve its common
problems.
