Recently, Beijing Education Department hasannounced that the full mark of English in the college entrance examination in2016 will be 100 points, which has dropped 50 points from previous years. Whilethe Chinese will be 180 points, the mathematics remains the same, still 150points. After the news has been exploded, this policy has caused greatattention among the public. Some people even wonder: do we still need Englishas before? And the status of English still remains the same in China? Well, asfar as I am concern, English still an indispensable part of our daily lives.

最近，北京市教育局宣布2016年的高考英語總分將為100分，較之前的150分下降了50分。而語文將提高到180分，數學保持不變。此消息一出，就引起了社會的極大關注。有人甚至問到：我們還像過去那樣需要英語嗎？英語在中國的地位是否保持不變？在我看來，英語始終在我們的生活中是不可缺的一部分。

Firstly, English language is of crucialimportant in international cooperation and exchange. In this competitive world,no country can survive without any other contact with other countries. Andthroughout all the interactions, English, as a global language, is the bridgefor us to communicate with other people who from different culture, differentcountries. Two thirds of the world trade is conducted in English. In order toperform our duties and enjoy our rights as a significant member of WTO, we doneed English by all means.

英語在國際合作與交流中有著重要作用。在這個充滿競爭的世界里，每個國家都要與其他國家進行交流溝通，免得就不能生存。而英語，作為全球通用的語言，起到了橋梁的作用，幫助不同文化背景的人們順利溝通。世界上三分之二的貿易用英語完成。為了更好的享受和履行我們在國際貿易組織的權利和義務，我們無論如何都需要英語。

Although we don’t need English so much in our dailylives,  when we turn on the computer, listen to the radio, we may findEnglish is everywhere. So, it’s quite necessary for all of us to master aforeign language. Even in the developed countries, students are required tolearn at least one foreign language. And learning English makes contributions toone’s development to some extent.

其二，英語在小學、初中、高等教育中都是必修語言。只有通過了英語考試，才能拿到畢業證書。雖然在日常生活中我們不怎么用到英語，但是當我們打開電腦，收聽錄音，我們就會發現英語無處不在。所以，掌握一門外語很重要。即使在發達國家，每個學生都會要求學至少一門外語。英語也為個人發展做出一定得貢獻。

Although the English marks of collegeentrance examination will drop to 100, we still need English in our dailylives.
