新学期开始，

你设定新的学习目标了吗？

今年期末，

你计划将英语成绩提高到多少分？

英语作为高中九大学科中最“忠实”的学科，

只要投入一定的时间和精力，

就会收获分数稳定提升的回报。

就算起点再低，起步再晚，

英语都不会辜负我们。

中国工程院院士钟南山，43岁时远赴英国追求医学梦想，一开始由于英语太差，频频碰壁。

但人到中年的他没有放弃，抓住每个机会练习英语，就连给国内的父亲写家书也全都使用英文。

钟南山的父亲钟世藩老先生早年留学美国，获得纽约州立大学医学博士学位，医学与英语知识都极为深厚。

收到儿子错漏百出的英文家书后，钟世藩老先生用红笔细致地批改订正，然后再把订正后的书信寄回英国。

那是1979年，书信是父子两人之间唯一能用来交流的途径，他们就把这极为珍贵的机会，当作学习英语的课堂。

差不多坚持了一年，钟南山的英语就比较流利了。

每当有人夸他“英语真好”，他总笑着表示，“这也是他逼出来的”。

1979年，我国刚刚改革开放，国内与世界都即将迎来巨变。

2025年，世界形势正在改变与重构，机遇与挑战并存。

不变的是，学习英语对我们来说，仍旧很重要。

下面我们从职业发展、国际旅行、教育和娱乐四个方面，聊聊学英语到底有哪些好处？
