外语学习的重要性及影响因素

人们学习外语的原因有很多。对于一些人来说，学习外语是出于必要性，比如搬到国外开始新的生活。如果不能与当地人交流，他们可能会感到像一条缺水的鱼。而对于其他人来说，学习一门语言是他们想学习的技能，但并不是为了成功而学习。生活在语言多样的地区（如欧洲）的人可能希望学习一门语言，以便能够出国旅行、了解外国文化，并更好地享受假期。他们还可以阅读外国书籍、观看外国电影，而无需使用翻译。还有一些人纯粹是出于对学习的兴趣，他们喜欢迎接知识上的挑战。

Do you like to watch the sky?

Yes, I am really into watching the sky especially at night to count the countless stars when I was a kid. I remember I sometimes laid down in the grass for hours to watch the shining stars when in summer because I was fond of imaging the folk stories about the stars.

What is the sky like at night in your hometown?

Well, as my hometown is a tourism city and there is no any industrial pollution, the sky is always clean and clear, and I can see the stunning night sky with countless and glittering stars and sometimes even the galaxy. But unfortunately in a metropolis like Beijing light pollution makes the night sky invisible.

Have you ever taken a course about stars?

No, I have never been in any sorts of courses about stars because actually there was no such courses in the schools or university. But fortunately my grandmother once sent me an encyclopaedia about nature in which there were loads of stories about stars, I got the most of the knowledge about stars from it.

Is it important to study stars?

Yes, I believe that astronomy has always had a significant impact on our world view as it can help open our eyes, give context to our place in the cosmos and that can definitely reshape how we see the world.

What’s your favourite star?

My favourite star constellation is Orion. It’s very easy to spot on winter nights. Firstly, it has a huge red giant star, which may explode any time soon. Besides, it has a massive blue star which is very young. On top of that it also has a big nebula where new stars are being born – so it has everything!
