　　What is a language for? Some people seem to think it's for practising grammar rules and learning words. That's wrong. A language is for the exchange of ideas. It's no good knowing all about a language if you can't use it.

　　Many students I have been taught to know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or freely. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes. We native speakers make mistakes, too. And we break rules. Bernard Shaw once said, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly. “But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They are English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What use to be wrong becomes right. The people not only make history, they also make a language. They can make their own language. They can't make another people's language.

　　So Chinese students of English should pay attention to the grammar, but they shouldn't over do it. They should put communication(交际) first.
