英语在跨文化交际中的作用~

All of these worthy goals require using English. Everything will be easier for you, and you will be able to accomplish more of what you want to accomplish, if you speak English well. Much of your success in the U.S. will depend on your ability to communicate with people in English. There will be times when you need to know how to use a machine, obtain information on getting a job, or convince another person of your ideas. To accomplish these goals you will need English. Students constantly share ideas and information in informal conversations. If you miss out on these conversations, your chances for professional and personal success will be limited compared to your peers.

No matter what TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score you have achieved, you may be required to sit for one or more English-language proficiency tests at your school. American schools have learned that even a high TOEFL score may not reflect the ability to write or converse well in English.
