In my point of view , English is a general language in the world. As social development and progression，world is just like a big family . Each member need to comunite with one or another .So does a language . Since China's entry into WTO,China's reform and opening drive will enter a new historic era. At the same time, The quality and efficiency of economic growth improved constantly .  China' s open policy has attracted many foreign investors . The foreign funded enterprises  including joint ventures, cooperative enterprises and wholly foreign-owned enterprises. It needs a sufficient number of men and women with representative linguistic skills。 Maybe it is one reason why people in China study english. Another is that some people might be want to go abroad for advanced study or travel.

Because too many people don't understand Chinese. In order to communicate with them easily, we devote ourselves to study english. Maybe, in the near future, with the rapid development of the economy of China, we will wonder why do many people study Chinese!
