Studying English at school became too difficult. I think that a huge number of grammatical rules those are never used by native speakers, is not justified. I agree that we need to learn a lot of words and expressions, so you can feel confident in any situation and be able to maintain a conversation on any topic, at least at the elementary level. But never and nowhere, in no film or interview, you can hear the verbs, for example, in the Past Perfect Continuous Tense, so to speak, "a fancy language".  Yes, to have an idea about the presence of these grammatical structures is necessary, but not to the same degree as we learn at school and in the institutes.  That is why I believe that the English we study at school, should be simplified to the level of practice and almost elementary, frequently used grammar.

Изучение английского в школе стало слишком сложным. Я считаю, что огромное количество грамматических правил, которыми никогда не пользуются носители языка, ничем не оправдано. Я согласна, что нужно выучить массу слов и выражений, чтобы можно было чувствовать себя уверенно в любой ситуации и уметь поддержать разговор на любую тему, хотя бы на элементарном уровне. Но никогда и нигде, ни в одном фильме или интервью, вы не слышите глаголов, например, в Past Perfect Continuous и в других, так сказать, "навороченных" временах. Да, иметь представление о наличии этих грамматических структур необходимо, но не до такой же степени. Именно поэтому я считаю, что английский язык, который мы изучаем в школе, должен быть упрощен до уровня разговорной практики и почти элементарной, часто используемой грамматики.
