Hiring foreign teachers in Chineseuniversities is necessary

在中國大學中雇傭外教是否有必要

Nowadays, there are more and moreforeigners come to China for teaching. The majority of Chinese show agreementabout this phenomenon, though there are more or less Chinese stand on theopposite side. Maybe still some people don’t realize the advantage of havingforeign teachers to instruct our English: they help us to improve our oralEnglish, know more about culture and make different friends.

如今，有越來越多的外國人來中國教學。大部分中國人對這一現象表示表示贊同，雖然有或多或少的人是站在對立面的。也許還有些人沒有意識到有外籍教師指導我們英語的好處：他們幫助我們提高英語口語，更加了解文化并交到不同的朋友。

First of all, it’s a common thing thatChinese students are good at writing English exam, but can’t talk in dailylife. If we have foreigners to be our English teachers, we have to use Englishto communicate with them. Otherwise, we can’t finish study task. Therefore, inone way, having foreign teachers help us open our mouth to speak, this is thebest way to practice our oral English. In addition, talking face-to-face is themost effective way to correct speaking mistakes and recorrect them.

首先，中國學生擅長寫英語考試，卻不能在日常生活中對話是常見的事。如果我們有外國人作為我們的英語教師，我們必須要用英語和他們交流。否則，我們完成不了學習任務。因此，一方面，有外國老師幫助我們的口語，這是練習英語口語的最好方法。此外，面對面交談是發現口語錯誤并改正的最有效的方法。

Secondly, when talking with our foreignteachers, we easily refer to our own country’s culture and theirs’. In order tomake the conversation continue, we have to do some research to make sure thatwhether we know about own culture is correct and what else we don’t know andalso have to do some preparation about their culture. Moreover, when we talk,we can easily and impressively learn others custom and culture. Thus, in thisway, we are not only having a deep impress on our own country, but also learnoverseas’ culture in a relax way.

其次，與外籍教師交談時，我們很容易談到自己國家和他們國家的文化。為了讓談話繼續下，我們要做一些研究以確保我們是否正確的了解自己的文化，還有自己不知道的是什么，并做好了解他們文化的準備。此外，在我們聊天的時候，我們可以既容易又印象深刻的了解到別人的文化和習俗。因此，在這種方式中，我們不僅對自己的國家有一個深深的印象，也以一種輕松的方式學習國外文化。

Last but not least, before we have foreignteachers, it’s possible that we just see foreigners on TV, not to speak oftalking with them. So it’s certain that all our friends are Chinese. Manythings are different when we have foreign instructors. They are not only teachersbut also friends of us. During the communication in class or after class, it’seasily for us to make friends with them. Then we are not only having Chinesefriends but also foreign friends.

最后但并非最不重要的是在我們有外籍教師之前，這是有可能的，我們只在電視上看到外國人，更不用說與他們交談。所以我們所有的朋友肯定都是中國人。有了外教之后很多事情都不一樣了。他們不僅是老師也是我們的朋友。在課堂上或是課后的交流中，我們很容易與他們成為朋友。然后之后，我們不僅有中國朋友也有外國朋友了。

General speaking, maybe foreign teacherscan’t help us too much on Chinese university exam, but they can help our spokenEnglish and open our eyes. Being college students, we need is not only having ahigh mark on the exam, but also some skills and abilities that have realeffects after we graduate. Improving spoken English, knowing more culturalthings and making different friends are of great use. So, I think Chineseuniversities hire foreign teachers are absolutely necessary.

總的來說，也許外教在中國大學考試上不能幫助我們太多，但他們可以幫助我們的英語口語，開闊我們的視野。作為大學生，我們需要的是不僅僅是在考試中取得高分數，而且也要有一些在我們畢業后有真正用途的技巧和能力。提高英語口語，了解更多的文化的知識，交不同的朋友是有很大的好處的。所以，我認為我國高校聘請外籍教師是絕對有必要的。
