its bad compared to how well we speak english, but in my opinion they speak ok for junior and high-school students. My reason is english is one of most stupid and confusing languages to learn.

First, I'll tell you about an educational program of English at public schools. 7ｔｈ graders study easy sentences like below. I am/ play / is playing / can play / played You are / play / are playing / can play / played He is / plays / is playing / can play / played 8th graders to-infinitive, gerund, auxiliaries 9th graders relative pronoun, present perfect tense, the passive voice 10 th to 12 th relative adverb, indirect speech, the subjunctive No everyday life requires English skills of students. They have few chances to use the skills. Most students study English to pass the entrance exams and some of them also to get a qualification. The results of this situation shows following. While some 12th graders read and understand newspapers written in English, such as TIME, Newsweek, or so, most college students can't hear, write or speak English enough because of lack of practical use. In fact, some students can communicate with English-speaking people, but the most can't. I don't know the statistics, the exact number of those who can.
