I noticed one topic “沙田倍僑書院 is not as good as I thought”. While I want to make a fair comment on it, I figure that I cannot do it under that topic. So I post up a new topic as “沙田倍僑書院 is much better than I thought”.
The following is quoted from EvaYYChan
I have read many news/information about
沙田倍僑書院 for a long time. I was planning to let my daughter to apply this school. But, after attending the open day held on last Fri, I have changed my mind. The English standard of the R2 students is not so good. (sorry to their parents). Most of them spoke broken sentence. What's the view of their attendees?
This is my reply:
I don’t want to be sarcastic, but honestly I think that your English is much better than the students you described. Do you want to know why?
Nothing personal. (I’m sorry if I offended you inadvertently. This is a broken sentence. What I mean is that the following content is nothing personal to you.
By the way, there will be some more broken sentences forthcoming if you don’t mind.)
I don’t use “many” before uncountable nouns like “news” or “information”. You did. Frankly, you are more like Shakespeare than I. You are capable of ignoring language rules. You are capable of making complete sentences as well.
“I was planning to let my daughter to apply this school” - That’s the way you put it. For me, I am still planning to make application to Pui Kiu College for my son. I will not “let my son to apply this school” because he always makes grammatical mistakes like putting a “to” after the verb “let”. I explained it to him a hundred times, but he never listens.
While my son knows how to apply cream to a scone, he doesn’t know how to apply “school” to anything else. He explains. The “school” is too big.
I told my son not to start a sentence with “But”. He said, “Why not? Everything is changing. Why is grammar not?” Isn’t that fascinating? (Sorry to the parents having similar kids.)
I could go further, but would rather not.
