Chairman Mao once said: "Good good study, day day up", which can be roughly deciphered as 'study hard,keep improving'. Chinese people still remember his advice, even in the days of market-oriented reform. Today, one of the utmost urgent tasks for Chinese students is to master the English language. Chinese students start learning English from the kindergarten and English testing is normally a must for most universities. With the Olympic Games coming to Beijing in 2008, the central government has another reason to call its people to master the most popular tongue on our planet.
