可能问这个问题，显得有点奇怪。现在哪个学生不学英语，哪个学校不教授英语！更要命的是，哪次重大的的考试，可以不用考英语！
对于绝大数学生来说，获得一个好的英语成绩，就是学习英语的目的。
这个目的本来是一个不错的间接目的，但是，在高考等应试教育的大环境下，考试成绩被过度重视，而学习英语的本来目的却被忽略掉。
那么，学习英语的本来目的是什么呢？任何语言，都是一种交流、沟通的工具。如果，所学的英语（或者其他任何语言）能让我们与外界进行交流和沟通，那么，我们的目的就算实现了。交流和沟通的方式，可能是
想想，学习一门外语是一件很难的事。尤其是，理想的状态是，不光会看，而且会听、会说。
其实，对于一般的英语学习者来说，大不必听、说、读写样样精通。在掌握基本的听、说、读、写之后，如果能将英语作为工具用起来，就能进入到一个良性的循环：学习英语，可以获得信息；为了更多的信息，更有动力学习英语；获得更多信息的同时，英语得到的锻炼更多，英语水平越高，最后，可以自如地获取英文信息。
It may seem a little weird to ask such a question. Since, there is no student who don’t learn English, and there is no school where English is not being taught. What makes it worse (for those hate English) is that there is no major examination that does not include English.
Getting good points is the purpose of learning English for most of the students.
This purpose is a not so bad intermediate one in fact, but, it has been put on a over-high position while the original purpose of learning English is ignored, under the exam-preparation, such as college enrollment exam, environments.
So, what should be the original purpose of learning English? Languages are just tools for communication and exchange informations. The aim is realized if we can communicate and exchange informations with outsiders throught the language we learned. The ways we communicate with others or get informations could be
Learning a foreign language is not easy when we think it twice, especially if we want to have a good command of both reading, listensing and speaking.
Actually, it is not necessary to be good at all of listening, speaking and writing for an average English learner. After a basic ability of listening, speaking and writing, if we can use English as a tool, we will get into a virtuous cycle: learn English -> information, to get more information -> motivated to learn more English, aquire more information -> English practiced more, finnaly English is conquered and information is understood easily.
