| Attn: Mr. Jian Shuo Wang, Please pay attention to the following grammatical error: You wrote:"Very briefly, I know this is a _misbehaved_ British person in Shanghai". The correct way to say it is "a _misbehaving_ British person". It refers to a British person who misbehaves. Are you an English teacher in Shanghai? I am involved in the business of teaching English as a foreign teacher. I am a Hong Kong Chinese who was hired as a 'foreign teacher' despite my non-foreign appearance. In general, I would say that the English standard of the foreign teachers' in China at this time is LOWER than that of the high school graduates in HK at the time when the British were there. But I am sure when China becomes a richer country, she will be able to offer better teachers---i am talking about the qualified English teachers or the _true_ foreign teachers. For the time being, just amuse yourself with whatever performance you find in these 'foreign jokers'. HK was governed by the British for over 150 years. That means the HK education system has had the experience of teaching English as a second language over that period of time. When China first opened up, the Chinese education bureacrats could have come to HK and asked us for advice. Instead, they went ahead to come up with 'foreign' teacher practice. Thus any joker who looks foreign is automatically hired to teach English. YOu guys in the mainland have no one to blame upon except your peasantry innocence! |
