预测范文

English is one of the required courses in all colleges and universities across the country. While quite a number of students think they are forced to take it—merely for College English Test, I study it for the purposes other than the examination itself. I should admit that English is the course that has impressed me most in college.

I cling to the idea that the practical value of English is a strong motivator. In the first

place, English adds greatly to the convenience and comfort of my life. For instance, as nearly

all information on the Internet and over half of the world’s technical and scientific

periodicals are in English, mastering English will facilitate my work. In the second place, a

good command of English also means chances and opportunities. With growing foreign

investment in China, English, as the language of international business, plays a vital role in

one’s career.
Over the years, it is the prospect of the usefulness of English courses that has inspired

me to study it hard. (170 words) 参考译文
