The Netherlands (荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results from 72 countries and areas. According to the index, the English proficiency in China is still low, ranking 39th. People in Shanghai are the best English speakers in China. They speak better English than Italians and French. “Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities,” an EF manager said. “However, across China, proficiency in English is different from east to west.” China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. Many students still learn English by rote memorization (死记硬背). Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at an embassy (大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. “Do not limit（局限于） it to textbooks. What matters most is to use what youve learnt,” he said. 63.Where does China rank among the 72 countries in spoken English ?_64.
