Thank you to the Chinese students studying in Amiens,who have given their comments and the background to this video.
Well, just like the video said"English represents the hope for better life." In China, you can say it's a kind of obligation, but I think when the others can speak a another langue while you can't, you do feel the pressure. Fortunately, thanks to my mother, I began to learn this universal langue with my own interests, for many years, I never give up and I'd glad to see that my original interest finally leads a good result. I enjoy the feeling when I speak English,
well, in the video, the way of those Chinese people learning English is a little bit creazy, but it is a really a special situation, not frequently. The pictures are from Li Yang Creazy English. The culture of this orgnisation is "being creazy". They think that shout the word and repeat iit n a loud voice will remember it better. In my opinion, that is the influence of world and at the special period of Olympic 2008, Chinese people want to have more talks with the world, so we learn English very hard. Then someone find that it is a good way for earning money, so they pulished some different ideas and attracted people to learn with them. The video is just a sort of advertisement of the orgnization, they are not always like that....For me, I have never taken this kind of activities. I think it is very stupid. the way of learning is just a show, not only for English but also other things. In fact, Li Yang Creazy English is no longer as popular as when they started. Chinese people have already changed the way they learn English. We can also say that we have already pass the period of mania.
I never learn Engliash like that and I don't think it is a good way but in fact it has effect for some people.
I would like to know the opinions of Chinese students now studying in France. I know there are some Chinese students living in Amiens,who are using this site. Did you learn English this way?Do you like the way you are learning English now?
just love this site :X
and this video is amazing :)
