    English has become a language that is most widely used in the world. So which country, not including English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank (排名)?

    Swedish language education company EF published their 2016 English Proficiency Index (熟练度指标) this month. The Netherlands (荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results of 950,000 people from 72 countries and areas.

    According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 39th. Out of the whole country, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as China's next best English-speaking cities.

    "Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities," EF senior manager Christopher McCormick said. "However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west."

    China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. According to the People's Daily Online, there are seven primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorization.

    Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy (大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. "Do not limit it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what you've learned," Magnusson said.

   Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making thisepic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out whether he has broken the record or not.

   White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June, 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe first, and then the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and finally the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

   The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to get away with the little money he had. The worst thing that had happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and wants to write a book about his adventures.

The popular TV programme, Touching China, was shown successfully on 3rd March 2022. We heard a name——Zhu Yanfu. His story moved everyone deeply. 

Zhu Yanfu was born in Zhangjiaquan village in Shandong Province in July 1933. When he was only 14 years old, he joined the army. Although he was young, he was not afraid to take part in wars. He lost his hands, his left eye and both legs below the knee during the Korean War in the 1950s. But he still said, "I don't regret what I have done to protect our country. "

In 1956, he chose to abandon the special care in the army nursing home and returned to his home town. He ever said, "I don't want to depend on our country to support me. I want to work for our country and serve its people. "

Zhu Yanfu was chosen as the secretary of the village's Party branch(村党支部书记) in 1957. He spent about 25 years developing the poor village. With his hard work, Zhangjiaquan became the first village to have electricity in the town in 1978. Now the people in his home town live a better life. 

Besides, Zhu Yanfu spent his money buying books for the reading room he set up in 1957. He later built an evening school which was the first school in the village. He understood that the best way to live a better life was by enriching people's minds. 

In order to pass on the revolutionary(革命的) tradition, he completed two autobiographical(自传体的) novels Extreme Life and A Man Without Regret during seven years. 

His story was widely reported from the 1990s and moved many people. Zhu Yanfu is a national hero who we should respect and learn from.

English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you' ve seen the English letters "WC" in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters. Workers in our city are changing "WC" signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following the steps. 

"WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me, " says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become "Gents/Men" and "Ladies/Women". "I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs, " she says. "I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My home town is Zhejiang Province', I know he or she should say ‘My home town is in Zhejiang Province'. Home town is a smaller place in a province. " The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include "Not Entry", which should be" No Entry"; "Direction of Airport" should be changed to "To the Airport". And it is "Room Rate", not "Room Price". And remember to "Keep off the Grass" rather than "Care of the Green. " The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.

 The Palace Museum, a widely visited cultural landmark in Beijing, announced new visiting rules on Thursday. These rules include a ban(禁令) on"interviews" and"commercial(商业的) photography". Without the museum' s permission, activities such as performances, on-site surveys and religious events are not allowed. The new rules will come into effect on June 30. Those who seriously break the rules will be listed as"uncivilized tourists".

 Fang Qiongqiong, a cultural sociologist in Shanghai, said these rules were made to prevent chaos(混乱) and improper behavior at historical sites like the Palace Muse um. She added that balancing the social and cultural role was a difficult task.

 Efforts to stop improper behavior at popular tourist spots in China have increased. The Palace Museum' s ban on commercial photo shoots is a noticeable change. A staff member said commercial photo shoots were often seen at the museum and sometimes put off the closing time.

 The museum's new rules, especially the ban on photography and filming, have become a hot topic on Sina Weibo. Netizens have different opinions. Some wonder if online streaming will also be banned. One netizen supports the new rule, saying the age of short videos is excessive and people can do crazy things in public places to attract attention.

 According to data, the Palace Museum welcomed 30,000 visitors on January 1, one of its busiest days. Tags like"Palace Museum' s autumn view" and"snowy Palace Museum" are popular on The Little Red Book. Chen remarked that the new ban might reduce the museum's exposure(曝光) on the Internet.

 The notice also said day tickets would no longer be sold at the museum entrance. All visitors must make reservations in advance with their real names.
