PART C_1

Read and take note of the important points in the article.

PART C_2

In Japan, a recent survey was conducted for students on their behavior about learning English. The results of the survey indicated that students have a contradictory attitude towards learning English. Although a lot of students thought English is important for them to get a job, only a few of them are willing to take jobs requiring English. The surveyors find this disappointing. However, it is also possible that the students do not necessarily think that learning English is the only way to land their dream jobs. Excellent English communication skills have become a universal work requirement all over the world, but not a requirement to reach success.

PART C_3

Please answer the questions about the article.

PART C_4

1. What is the result of the survey?
Answer:
2. Why is it possible that students don’t find learning English very necessary?

Answer:
