What they said

"If English is removed from gaokao, will high schools still offer it as a compulsory course? If not, what about the large number of full-time English-language teachers in the education system? Are they going to lose their jobs?"

A micro blog user nicknamed shirley-He Huixue.

"My English is not good enough, and I don't think removing it from gaokao is a good idea, as it might lead to overemphasis on remaining subjects. I won't rest on my English learning, because I will need it for my future career path."
