A friend of mine once asked me: “Why should a Chinese take time to learn a language that is not his own?”Obviously he has __96__in learning a foreign language. He is not the only one who is mentally against English learning. One reason, as I suspect, is the way English is ___97___. The emphasis on memorization is such that no __98___is left in the process of learning, only endless annoyance. What students are presented in the classroom is not the language in real communication. A Chinese student with extremely high scores for American standardized tests was __99__ into one of the most famous universities. But his professors soon found out  he could __100__ understand the lesson. Suspecting that he__101___in the tests, the school demanded he repeat them. Again, he passed with high scores. Not till then did they realise the student had mastered the __102__for dealing with the tests, not the skills of using the language.

Many people take TOFEL, IELTS, GRE, annual Band 4 and Band 6 exams not because they work inareas where English is a___103___tool, but because they have to do it for job promotion.　　 Must English learning be such a pain in the neck? Create a(n)__104__ where learning English is natural and painless. Don't make it compulsory for people whose work or major does not require it. China will not become more___105___ by adding millions of people who can only say a simple “Hello.”
