英语专业学生主要学习英语语言、文学、历史、政治、经济、外交、社会文化等方面基本理论和基本知识，受到英语听、说、读、写、译等方面的良好的技巧训练，掌握一定的科研方法，具有从事翻译、研究、教学、管理工作的业务水平及较好的素质和较强能力。

由于学校的不同，英语专业的分类也是有所区别的。但是，在本科英语专业的学习中，大一大二所学内容是比较泛的，比如基础英语，英语语音学，快速阅读，英语听力等基础阶段，大都是起到巩固基本能力的作用。到大三的时候(个别学校在大二阶段)就进行更细的分类了。通常分为师范类、外贸类和翻译类。当然，有的学校也设置了旅游英语等相关课程。这意味着，在所学英语的基础上，英语专业的学生又接触到了专业以外的知识，扩展了知识面，也为就业做准备。

Love is of the utmost importance to us humans. Everybody not only needs love, but also should give others love. As can be seen in the picture, "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places." This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than other people. Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life. Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties. I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the following examples. (Numerous examples can be given easily, but these will suffice For instance when someone is starving to death, just a little food and water from you may save his(her) life. Again, when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty, just a small sum of money from you may support her t o finish school and change her life. In these circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed. To sum up, we should offer our help to all the needed. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help, don't hesitate to give your love to him (her). I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and our society will be a better place for us to live in.
