    Is English that important

     China is probably one of the few countries in the world where learning English has almost become a national obsession. However, most people cost much but gain little. Our teaching and test systems have deviated from the initial purpose of English learning in that it teaches and encourages elite English instead of practical one. Beneficiaries are limited to those who intend to study overseas. Yet, to the millions who have little use of the language, it is a great waste of time, energy and resources. What's more outrageous is that the importance of English skills has been exaggerated to the extent that it overweighs almost everything in assessing a person's competency. Learning a language is, in a sense, a study of the culture on which the language is based. In that light, we should put more emphasis on learning Chinese than on English.We're losing somthing traditional and basal.

Chinese Taoist Culture and Taoist Temples on Wudang are unique.But now ,local government dont think much of these.By contrast,even some of these temples have a longer history than Forbidden City in Beijing,it has been damaged a lot because of non-protect,people around the mountain are poor.Furthermore,some Chinese traditional culture are losin
