My neighbor Mr Luo even pulled his 11­year­old daughter out of an

　　expensive English training program at a private weekend school，getting a

　　refund(退款)of 3,500 yuan from his 5,000 yuan tuition，“We'll spend the money on extra courses like Chinese writing and math，”he said.

　　Beijing is not alone in playing down the importance of English in the college entrance examinations.Other provinces are considering changes to English testing too.For example，Shandong will cancel the listening part of the English test next year.

　　The Chinese capital's

　　reforms④ are meant to reduce the workload of students and call for more time and energy

　　to be spent on

　　Chinese language and

　　culture.

　　Still，in my opinion, changes to English testing scores are sure to

　　dampen students'

　　enthusiasm for learning English and make China，which ranked⑤ fairly low on Education First's 2017 English Proficiency Index(英语水平指数)，an even worse place for English speaking and even less capable⑥ of

　　connecting with the

　　rest of the world.
