问题     Some scholars have commented on the "devastating" effects that the emphasis on English learning has had on the Chinese education system, and called for more in-depth focus on the studying of Chinese-related subjects. What is your opinion?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Which Is More Important, Chinese Education or English Learning?
选项
答案 Which Is More Important, Chinese Education or English Learning? As English is currently the most widely used language in the world, it seems clear that one will be better off if he or she has a good command of English. However, the strong focus on the study of English in China is like "putting a cart before a horse". I believe Chinese education, including studying Chinese-related subjects, is much more crucial than English learning for the following reasons. First and foremost, more focus should be placed on the study of Chinese in schools as it carries with it not only cultural significance but also a sense of pride and purpose. Chinese plays an irreplaceable part in the thought processes and spirit of Chinese heritage and civilization. Secondly, with the promotion of China’s international standing, increasingly more foreigners are eager to know more about China and its culture. Even if you are a master of English, poor knowledge of your own language, history and culture will impede your communication about Chinese-related topics with foreigners. Last but not least, Chinese culture is really in danger now, and we are losing the cultural identity in facing the cultural globalization and the overemphasis of English. For instance, celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is losing popularity in some big cities while foreign festivals are coming in and taking over. In short, it is now becoming urgent to save our language and culture. Chinese should preside over other subjects and the prominence of English study should be reduced significantly.
解析     本题是对比选择型题目。针对该题目，可根据以下思路展开写作：
    思路1：国学教育比英语学习更为重要。
    语言是文化的载体，也是中华文明和传统不可或缺的一部分，因此必须要学好汉语；随着中国国际地位的提升，越来越多的外国人想要了解中国及其文化，即使英语学得再好，不了解自己国家的文化、历史和传统就无法和外国人对此进行较好的沟通。另外，对英语的过分强调以及全球化的冲击，使得中国文化尤其是传统文化面临危机，如果不强调国学教育就会使越来越多的中国人丧失自己的文化身份。
    思路2：英语学习比国学教育更为重要。
    在全球化的背景下，英语不好就意味着信息的闭塞、沟通的不畅和就业机会的减少。而我们时时刻刻都在使用汉语，也处在汉语的环境中，因而没有必要再浪费过多的精力和资源在国学教育上。
    范文选取了思路1，认为国学教育比英语学习更为重要。
