The world's English mania - Jay Walker

  • 0:16 - 0:20
    Let's talk about obsession
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    Let's start with the Beatles obsession(band)
  • 0:24 - 0:30
    Hysterical crying and screaming of teenagers and pandemonium
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    Sports obsession
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    Deafening crowds for one-goal lead
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    In the Nets
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    Well religious mania
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    There's euphoria there's crying there's visions
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    Obsession can be good it can be
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    Alarming or obsessive can be fatal
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    The world has a new obsession
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    The obsession of learning English listen to
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    Chinese students practice their English by
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    Screaming
  • 1:16 - 1:22
    I don't want to leave my parents
  • 1:22 - 1:29
    I never want to make a mockery of my country
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Continuously
  • 1:32 - 1:38
    I don't want to leave myself
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    How many people are trying to learn
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    English is spoken by two billion people worldwide
  • 1:48 - 1:53
    In Latin America, India, Southeast Asia
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    And most of all in China if you
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Chinese student starts learning English
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    In the third grade by law, therefore
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    This year will be China
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    The largest English-speaking country in the world
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    Why English is an opportunity
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    A chance for a better life or a job
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    To be able to pay for school or a better position
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    Food on the table, imagine a student
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    Studying for a giant exam for three whole days
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    Her grades on this one test are literally
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    She determines her future, studied 12 hours
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    On the day for three years to prepare
  • 2:35 - 2:40
    25% of her grades are based on English
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    It's called the COWGAO eighty million
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    A Chinese high school student already
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    They took this cruel test
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    The intensity of learning English is almost
  • 2:51 - 2:54
    It is inconceivable only if you witness it
  • 3:08 - 3:15
    I want to change my life
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    So is the English obsession good or bad
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    Is the English tsunami wiping out the rest
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    Languages are unlikely. English language
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    It is the second language in the world. Your native language
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    It's your life, but with English
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    You can be part of a conversation
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    A global conversation is taking place about
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    Global problems such as climate change or
  • 3:39 - 3:42
    Poverty, hunger or disease.
  • 3:42 - 3:46
    The world has other world languages
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    Mathematics is the language of science،
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    Music is the language of emotions،
  • 3:52 - 3:55
    And now English has become a language
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    Solving problems is not because America
  • 3:58 - 4:01
    You support him, but because the world
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    Help him with that. So the English obsession
  • 4:04 - 4:05
    Is a turning point
  • 4:05 - 4:08
    Such as harnessing electricity in
  • 4:08 - 4:09
    Our cities or the fall
  • 4:09 - 4:10
    The Berlin Wall.
  • 4:10 - 4:14
    English represents hope for a better future
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    A future where the world has
  • 4:16 - 4:21
    A common language to solve common problems
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    Many thanks
  • 4:23 - 4:32
