What do Students Need English For?
Today, it seems that nearly everyone is studying English, especially students. But what do they study English for? A survey made by a teacher at a university gives us some hints.
The results of the survey suggest that students need English for different purposes. Most students learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals or attend English lectures, while only a few students use it to talk to Englishspeaking visitors.attend_seminars.and write letters, etc. There are also some differences between economics students and engineering students. Compared with engineering students, economics students need to read English business textbooks and write reports in English.
Therefore,from the result of the survey,we can see that the purposes students learn English for vary with the academic field students study in. Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities. (151 words)

該調(diào)查的結(jié)果表明，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英文是出于不同的目的。大部分學(xué)生 學(xué)習(xí)英文是因為他們需要閱讀英文教材或報刊、或聽英文授課，而只有 小部分學(xué)生用它來與英語國家的來賓交流、參加研討會、寫信等等。財 經(jīng)類的學(xué)生與工科學(xué)生十分不同。與工科學(xué)生相比，財經(jīng)類的學(xué)生需要 讀英文的財經(jīng)教材，并用英文寫報告。
因此，從調(diào)查結(jié)果可知，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的隨著他們專業(yè)的不同 而不同。但無論出于什么目的，有一點確定無疑：學(xué)生們需要英文，大 學(xué)英語教學(xué)應(yīng)有所加強。
