你认为英语将来会成为世界的主流语言吗？

Answer：

Yes, I do. I think English is the international language of the world right now, and will continue to be so in the future. All over the world, more and more people are learning English as a second language. There are also many important and powerful countries where English is the native language. I believe it’s essential to learn English these days. Without English, it’s almost impossible to travel to other countries independently, or communicate with people from around the world. I think wherever you travel around the world, you can always find someone who can speak English to communicate with. My parents can’t speak a word of English, and as a result they are too scared to travel outside of China.

译：

是的，我知道。我认为英语现在是世界上的国际语言，将来还会继续这样。在世界各地，越来越多的人把英语作为第二语言来学习。还有许多重要而强大的国家，英语是它们的母语。我认为现在学英语很重要。没有英语，几乎不可能自立到其他国家旅行，也不可能与来自世界各地的人交流。我想无论你在世界哪个地方旅行，你总能找到一个会说英语的人来交流。我父母一句英语也不会说，结果他们害怕到中国以外的地方去旅行。
