作为中学生， 只有真正认识到学英语 和用英语的重要性， 才会信心百倍地学好 英语。
Most of my classmates study English just in order to pass exams， but in fact learning it is very important.
English plays a great role in commu- nication， since it is spoken all over the world. In other words， it is a great help if you ever travel abroad， or deal with for- eigners in any way. It is the world lan-guage， and makes us further understandthe world.
In addition， it opens the door to the cultures and customs of English- speaking countries， and expands one’s understanding of the world.
As a language， English also has its special charms. Reading and listening to English poems and essays can offer com- fort and fulfillment. When studying Eng- lish， we are not simply learning a lan- guage， but gaining the history and culture that go with it.
In sum， we study English for many reasons， the least of which is to pass exams.
