我是不赞成取消英语，或者降低英语地位的观点。很多人认为英语没用，对从事低端，技术含量不高的人来说，确实没什么用，其实不仅仅英语没用，任何这个学科都没用，很多人特别是南方人没学懂拼音，这个可是汉语的基础，语文的基础，但并不影响人的工作和生活，是不是拼音也没用？同样，很多人从事的工作不需要太高深的数学知识，加减乘除已做够可用，小学二年级水平足够，是不是数学不重要？再比如我从事的工作与化学，生物毫无关系，高考后再也没接触过这个两门学科，只要上过一个月化学课和一学期生物课的初中生，水平都比我高，我是不是就觉得化学和生物没用，呼吁取消这两门课呢？
语数英这三门作为基础学科都是十分重要的。语文，作为自己母语当然要学，这个重要性不用多说。数学作为一切科学之母，也是一切科学开展的工具，没有数学，就无法开展其他科学，它的重要性不言而喻。英语，对中国人来说是主要一种工具，对绝大多数的理工专业，部分文史专业都会用到它。英语水平越高，你越能接触更高端工作，能做更深层的工作，比如做科研，需要查看阅读大量的外文文献，没有英语基础势必会限制你的高度；同样，可能因为英语好可能会被派到国外进修，工作。在当今以西方国家制定的科学基础，国际标准，国际秩序，国际规则下，为了更好更快都赶上超过他们，必须向他们学习。
如果一直强调英语不重要，就相当于把自己的人生已经定位，定位在低端，其他学科学得再多也没用。
上海中考冲刺英语应景首/无字母填空阅读修炼53
同事朋友圈发了条狗，左手“我要吃”，右手“牛排”，明显就是模仿可达鸭。我调侃给它起名叫“没得犬（xuan)“, 结局一定是”啥的没得到“。没得犬的气势足够，必须牛排，没得选，可惜在上海，结局很悲惨。没得犬和可达鸭真可谓是天生一对。这两天来读做几篇关于小狗的文本，在现在这个阶段，宠物是家里唯一不知道发生了什么，但依然陪着你的另一半。今天读做的主人和小狗Coco一生的故事，看看你读完后有什么感想，你的语感和答题正确率又如何呢？
