My thoughts and view of lowering the percentage in PSLE for chinese

I personally think that lowering the percentage for chinese is not a good idea.

Students will think that chinese is less important and this will even cause some of the students to give up on chinese.

Have i 3 points to share with you why I think learning chinese is important:
- Makes you bilingual
- Live the legacy
- Help you in the economy

Being bilingual does not bring you any benefits when you are still a primary school student. However when you start working in business you will find that being bilingual is really useful. For example, if you are sent to china for a conference but you are unable to speak chinese what will you feel? Anxious? Scared? Nervous?

Learning chinese is also a method of preserving the significance of the chinese. Language is like staple food it is very important for a race. If you do not learnt chinese our chinese ancestors will be deeply disappointed and their hardwork to create a language is useless and wasted.

Helping you in the economy. In the economy China is now coming up. It is one of the strongest country in the economy. Learning chinese will surely benefit you. For example, a boss wants a person to go to china to meet the client but none understands chinese except you, the boss will surely be pleased with you and will definitely reward handsomely.

Of course learning chinese is hard and tiring and stressful. However this is only cause by a lack of interests. If teachers in school or even parents and help to make student interested, motivated then what is the need of lowering the percentage?
