Let's talk about obsession

0:00:19.745,0:00:23.745
Let's start with the Beatles obsession(band)

0:00:24.057,0:00:30.157
Hysterical crying and screaming of teenagers and pandemonium

0:00:30.427,0:00:34.427
Sports obsession

0:00:34.542,0:00:40.432
Deafening crowds for one-goal lead

0:00:40.442,0:00:42.932
In the Nets

0:00:43.377,0:00:45.587
Well religious mania

0:00:45.613,0:00:49.933
There's euphoria there's crying there's visions

0:00:50.259,0:00:53.419
Obsession can be good it can be

0:00:53.469,0:00:57.469
Alarming or obsessive can be fatal

0:01:00.580,0:01:03.280
The world has a new obsession

0:01:03.280,0:01:06.700
The obsession of learning English listen to

0:01:06.705,0:01:10.555
Chinese students practice their English by

0:01:10.555,0:01:11.595
Screaming

0:01:15.856,0:01:22.196
I don't want to leave my parents

0:01:22.364,0:01:29.324
I never want to make a mockery of my country

0:01:29.578,0:01:32.098
Continuously

0:01:32.183,0:01:38.153
I don't want to leave myself

0:01:38.164,0:01:39.974
How many people are trying to learn

0:01:40.003,0:01:43.793
English is spoken by two billion people worldwide

0:01:47.943,0:01:53.033
In Latin America, India, Southeast Asia

0:01:53.068,0:01:56.208
And most of all in China if you

0:01:56.208,0:01:59.148
Chinese student starts learning English

0:01:59.148,0:02:03.318
In the third grade by law, therefore

0:02:03.386,0:02:05.906
This year will be China

0:02:05.925,0:02:09.925
The largest English-speaking country in the world

0:02:11.337,0:02:15.027
Why English is an opportunity

0:02:15.147,0:02:17.757
A chance for a better life or a job

0:02:17.848,0:02:19.796
To be able to pay for school or a better position

0:02:19.796,0:02:22.606
Food on the table, imagine a student

0:02:22.636,0:02:25.876
Studying for a giant exam for three whole days

0:02:25.928,0:02:28.888
Her grades on this one test are literally

0:02:28.910,0:02:32.350
She determines her future, studied 12 hours

0:02:32.359,0:02:35.199
On the day for three years to prepare

0:02:35.209,0:02:40.049
25% of her grades are based on English

0:02:40.530,0:02:44.050
It's called the COWGAO eighty million

0:02:44.088,0:02:46.298
A Chinese high school student already

0:02:46.319,0:02:47.859
They took this cruel test

0:02:47.899,0:02:50.649
The intensity of learning English is almost

0:02:50.656,0:02:53.856
It is inconceivable only if you witness it

0:03:08.272,0:03:14.852
I want to change my life

0:03:15.027,0:03:17.717
So is the English obsession good or bad

0:03:18.518,0:03:21.508
Is the English tsunami wiping out the rest

0:03:21.563,0:03:24.133
Languages are unlikely. English language

0:03:24.136,0:03:28.136
It is the second language in the world. Your native language

0:03:28.136,0:03:29.636
It's your life, but with English

0:03:29.636,0:03:31.696
You can be part of a conversation

0:03:31.696,0:03:35.126
A global conversation is taking place about

0:03:35.171,0:03:38.601
Global problems such as climate change or

0:03:38.617,0:03:42.357
Poverty, hunger or disease.

0:03:42.357,0:03:45.687
The world has other world languages

0:03:45.762,0:03:48.182
Mathematics is the language of science،

0:03:48.793,0:03:51.223
Music is the language of emotions،

0:03:52.005,0:03:54.965
And now English has become a language

0:03:54.965,0:03:58.125
Solving problems is not because America

0:03:58.137,0:04:00.617
You support him, but because the world

0:04:00.617,0:04:03.367
Help him with that. So the English obsession

0:04:03.545,0:04:05.095
Is a turning point

0:04:05.472,0:04:07.602
Such as harnessing electricity in

0:04:07.940,0:04:08.710
Our cities or the fall

0:04:08.710,0:04:09.800
The Berlin Wall.

0:04:09.871,0:04:13.871
English represents hope for a better future

0:04:13.922,0:04:16.242
A future where the world has

0:04:16.242,0:04:20.652
A common language to solve common problems

0:04:20.703,0:04:22.543
Many thanks
