  Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”  1   I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

  First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.  2   However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

    3   Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However, in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter.  4  

  The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

  Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.  5  

A.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

B.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D.If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

E.However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

F.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

G.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

  Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn't imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years.

  The Beijing Language and Culture University student decided that enough was enough.  1  

  “It may seem like I’ve wasted a year and have to start college all over again, but now that I’ve settled on a field I'll be able to concentrate, ” Zuo said.

  Zuo is not alone.

  At the China Three Gorges University in Yichang in Hubei Province 53 out of 59 students in the Physics Department took transfer exams last semester.  2  

  “   3   Many students picked colleges before majors, only to discover their mistakes a few weeks after arrival on the campus.” said Jiang Xin, 20, who was able to switch to electrical engineering and automation from physics.He said that physics graduates had few other options besides going into teaching.  4  

  A new survey, of 2, 500 students nationwide starting in September this year, suggests that as much as 35 percent of students are disappointed by their courses.

  However, Shao Yangfang, who works at the admissions office of University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, advised students to consider both short-term and long-term goals.

  “After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specially related to your college major? Or, would you like to possess the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas?   5   Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interest, abilities and personality.” Shao said.

A.These are the questions students need to consider.

B.After rounds of exams and interviews, he managed to transfer to the Department of International Accounting.

C.He added that a career in education just didn't suit him.

D.Unfortunately only 22 of them got a place on another major.

E.Many college students don't care about their future career.

F.When we were at high schools very few of us understood how a major relates to a career.

G.When we were at high schools, we already knew what are hot majors and what are unexpected ones.
