definitely. it's a shame as we will not be able to cope with the rate of globalization. as you know english is known as the global language now and we use it to obtain information, to communicate with people from all over the country. i encounter so many problems cause i can't master speaking skills. teacher never get the meaning of my questions, almost all the times. T.T

is NOT a shame for a Chinese!
but quite ashame as we born in this generation..cause all around the world is using English..
like when you travel to other country we communicate with English, because English is an international language nowadays..
and also in college/university studies in English..need to speak English in presentation too

i don't think so,but if a chinese don't know how to speak chinese.
i think it will be shame.

咪咪白白

I dont agree if we could not speak English is shameful.  I agree with Chris-86.  Chinese does not know their own language is a shame.  I have relatives brought up in Malay education and end up all speaks Malay and English at home.  When they faced their China customers, they could not handle it well.

I would say preferable to know both Chinese and English are the best.

If most people on this planet do not speak English well, why should we feel ashamed?
