Valentine's Day is romantic. Not only are there densely packed with tens of thousands of young people buying and selling flowers on the four main roads in the city center of the province gathered on the simple Western restaurants at the same time, and there are also smart students on major universities who prepared tailored roses in advance to sell them. The profit on this day can be as little as three times, or as much as more than ten times. It is very profitable. Under the strong atmosphere of the people around, smart people can sell out two or three hundred roses in a blink of an eye. It is almost okay to earn a living expenses of one or two months. Walking around the campus, you can see a girl holding flowers or other gifts in a few steps. It is a romantic atmosphere.

That night, Chen Jundong was the first person to return to the dormitory. He was better than Ge Zihao. When he came back, Chen Kangjie was lying on his head and writing.

After Chen Kangjie made several calls, he took out a stack of manuscripts to draft the materials. The two sessions were not far away. As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Chen Kangjie must fulfill his duties of participating in politics and making decisions. He cannot only carry his ears and eyes. It is best to be able to come up with a valuable proposal report.

The proposal report can cover a wide range of areas, including politics, economy, culture, science and technology, people's livelihood, etc., but to improve the quality of a proposal and enhance its credibility and operability, a lot of research and preparation work is required.

The current identity of Chen Kangjie is not convenient for conducting research work in person. First, time is not allowed, and on the other hand, his identity is unable to conduct real research by himself. If his visitor knows that he is Chen Kangjie, a member of the CPPCC, he will be watched and unable to move forward, let alone work.

Therefore, Chen Kangjie simply started from what he said was familiar, so that he could save a lot of trouble.

Now, what Chen Kangjie is most familiar with is education. He has always maintained his identity as a student and has been in school. If he has been in school for more than 20 years after his rebirth, he is of course very familiar with this area. After thinking about it for a while, he plans to start from this aspect and come up with a proposal on education issues.

Many people pay attention to education because they focus on fairness, urban-rural gaps, college entrance examination system, quality education, etc. Chen Kangjie chose a direction that he is very familiar with, the public is also very familiar with, but is rarely proposed for discussion. The teaching subject setting, among which foreign language education is a key point.

Foreign languages ​​are like mathematics, too many people learn to use them.

Foreign languages ​​and mathematics are of course completely different subjects. If mathematics may have three functions: improving thinking ability, measuring IQ scale, and using mathematical knowledge. Foreign languages ​​are not as good as mathematics in the first two functions, and are weaker than mathematics and Chinese in improving thinking ability and measuring IQ. In terms of intelligence types, it seems to be similar to Chinese, but in terms of language mastery, especially in writing ability, foreign languages ​​are far apart from their mother tongue, and even in the study of foreign languages ​​in middle school, mainly memorization.

Chen Kangjie's good foreign language is due to his strong memory. He deeply remembers that before he was reborn, he spent a lot of time being treated with English words every day.

However, in our considerations, foreign language learning and mathematics learning have similarities in one dimension, that is, the future use is highly doubtful, and mathematical knowledge will be difficult to be used by most people in the future because for the work and life of most people, the mathematical knowledge learned is too profound, and what can be used is limited to primary school arithmetic knowledge. The opposite is that foreign language cannot be used because it cannot pass the test, and this is probably a secondary reason. The more important reason is that most people do not have the need to use foreign languages ​​in their future work and life. With such a conclusion, the necessity of foreign language learning is more suspicious than mathematics, because they do not have the function of improving thinking ability and measuring IQ.

The above comparisons were not thought by Chen Kangjie. He read a lot of educational books and educational science research materials, and some experts specialize in comparative research in this area.

In the end, only a few people have the opportunity to use foreign languages. Why did it become a compulsory course? Isn’t this a escort? This requires two facts to be clarified through detailed investigation.

First, how much time does students spend in foreign language study in junior high school, high school and college? Second, what proportion of the population uses foreign languages ​​after graduation.

Chen Kangjie did not have any detailed numbers. In order to figure out this situation, he planned to entrust the Yangtze River Society to do such a survey.

Even without detailed data, Chen Kangjie can tell based on his feelings and his own experience that in junior high school, high school and college, every student spends the most time studying foreign languages, even exceeds Chinese and mathematics. In the middle school and college stages, when he wakes up in the morning, he often hears many people recite music lyrics, but rarely hears anyone recite Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

When Chen Kangjie was in middle school before he was reborn, he spent an hour a day on English learning. Among all subjects, this is the most time-consuming. He did not have that much pressure or enthusiasm for memorizing historical materials and politics.

Once upon a time, the famous saying "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world" was popular in society. However, after entering the 1990s, this sentence has gradually been replaced by foreign languages.

In contrast, the 1990s were not too much. In a few years, foreign language education will become more abnormal. Elementary schools and kindergartens have begun to engage in English education. There are even many students' foreign languages ​​that are better than Chinese. What a sadness and shame. Moreover, foreign language education has formed a huge industry. From review materials, training to exams, it has become a broad talent industry chain. There are foreign language training schools in almost every city. A large proportion of the learning reference materials in bookstores are foreign languages, and there are also listed companies specializing in English education. If a kindergarten is not bilingual, it will not be of high quality.

Learning a foreign language is not a bad thing, just like that joke. If a mouse learns to bark, it can scare cats. However, it is absolutely undesirable for everyone to learn foreign languages ​​and spend a lot of money to learn foreign languages. Even with the rise of globalization, we have more and more close contacts with countries around the world. Chen Kangjie does not support the whole nation to be willing to die and forget to eat and sleep in English learning, because he is sure that not one of the ten people will use foreign languages ​​as his essential tool in his future work.

The cost is too high, and students spend too much time learning foreign languages, so naturally they don’t have much time to learn Chinese, history and science. Chen Kangjie remembers watching a TV program. A reporter interviewed a middle school student and asked him to talk about the history of the Qing Dynasty. As a result, what he said was the episodes in "Return of the Condor Heroes". It can be said that this classmate had almost no understanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Also, our graduate exams, no matter what major it is, they actually require a high level of English. For example, if you take the postgraduate entrance examination for Chinese language and literature, Chinese history, or even graduate students in oracle bones, you really don’t understand. If you do these majors, it has something to do with English. Do you have to read a lot of foreign works to do this research? If that’s true, it’s a tragic tragedy. Chinese people rely on foreigners to study their own things. It’s definitely time to buy a piece of tofu and kill them.

At such a node, before the disaster has formed, Chen Kangjie planned to do his best. He was not trying to exterminate foreign language education, which was an overcorrection and unrealistic, but he wanted to help it get off the brakes, make its development more reasonable, and make our education more in line with society and needs.

He didn't want to see many Chinese students reading "Hamlet", "Pride and Prejudice", "Three Musketeers", "Zuo Zhuan", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods" and "Dream of the Red Chamber". Take the current situation as an example. The proportion of middle school students who have read "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber" is very small. Students who have read "Zuo Zhuan" and "Book of the Songs" are not even in middle school, but there are very few students who have read "Zuo Zhuan" and "Book of Songs", let alone in middle school, even in college. This is a kind of despair, which is not good for the improvement of our country's soft power.

When the survey data has not yet been released, Chen Kangjie just needs to formulate his own framework ideas and operational suggestions and ideas. Adding the data at that time is just to enhance the credibility and persuasiveness of his proposal.

Chen Kangjie's general idea is this: English subjects do not need to be cancelled, just adjust their importance.

He suggested that in junior high school, English subjects are set as elective courses, and students can make choices based on their interests and hobbies. The middle school entrance examination is not listed as an examination subject, because if students choose to go to vocational high school or technical school, the importance of English can be completely ruled out, which will reduce the burden on students. In high school, it can be listed as a compulsory course, but the college entrance examination does not necessarily have to be linked to foreign languages.

Of course, if you really make fun of the English exam, it will be useless no matter how compulsory exams are taken. Some schools will even cancel foreign languages ​​directly, because in the current context of people pursuing the admission rate, especially the admission rate will be linked to the interests of teachers and leaders, they will not care about foreign languages.

Therefore, Chen Kangjie thought of a compromise plan, that is, if the school you are applying for is a key university or the major you are applying for is related to foreign languages, such as Western languages ​​and literature, such as international trade, such as Western economics, etc., then such candidates must take the foreign language exam, because this is likely to have a great effect on their future study and research work.
