鼓励大家用英文交流，有奖励的！！！

From my perspective, English is very important for academic research because we need to read large amounts of literature in foreign countries. What's more important is that how we get the idea of authors quickly and get to his point after reading his paper. So communicating by English is the prerequisite for this.

it is very good. i think many people want to join this program, and then we can learn from each other to improve our writing english. wonderful  !

It's a great and useful post. Thank you, reduce_fat! Most people must have realized english is one of the most import skill within everyone's study or career. A lot of materials  are written in English. And most competitive positions require English ability. So come on...

good idea

I usually think about one question that why we spend so much time on learning English. Is it worth the efforts? Absolutely. We can learn the real knowledge and theory by reading textbooks, papers or journals in English instead of Chinese.

Persistence makes difference!

That's a wonderful idea!

During last two years, I'm trying to find an effcient way to improve my English including listening,speaking and writing. I have contacted many teachers and friends who are good at English. Many of them gave me the same answer -  Practice!

So that's why we are here. We can chat on some specific topics and gave others some suggestion about the sentence they use. I believe that we can have a bright future in English field.

so this forum takes on another responsibility: english training?

as a matter of fact, i've replied in english for dozens of times, i wonder if the administrator could grant me additional credits.
