Whether or not to reduce the proportion of English in exam has become a controversial topic these days.
As a future English teacher, I also concern on this issue. English has become a compulsory subject in school teaching since 1980s and most of Chinese students are used to learning it. Although many problems are occurred in English learning, English still remind a vital part in our study.
From my point of view, exam may not be the best way to promote English learning but it is the best way to push students in China to improve their English. And once English remind its role as a global language, the priority given to English learning should not be abandoned.

Micro blog, a popular public media, now plays an important role in information dissemination. In my view, micro blog not only serves for entertainment purpose but also become one of my approach to acquire various useful information since I focus on different kinds of public media, such as news, books, travel.
Since micro blog is used by many official departments and professionals from different walks of life to share information with the public, many people may benefit from it.
