學好英文或是中文?

talknwrite

中國人要學好中文是理所當然
要學好英文是價值取向, 好到什麼程度, 視乎個人.

Survey into English use sows world city doubts
Teddy Ng May 6, 2005

...

While 66.4%of the Singaporeans said they use English to communicate with friends all the time, 48.9% of the Hong Kong people said they rarely used the language with friends.
...
Only 4.8% of the Hong Kong graduates were brave enough to say their English was ``native-like'' though 44.4% said they had ``no problem'' with the language. In Singapore, the figures were 25.9%and 46.6%, respectively.

For those with post graduate degrees, 16.7%in Hong Kong said their English was ``native-like'' compared with 31.9% in Singapore.

Dear Brisingr,

That's very interesting.  Tell me, if you do know, what "British Accent" is.  I'm asking because Stephen Fry says in his book that there isn't such a thing.

Annie40,

Thanks for your vote of confidence. 比我更有信心。

Audrey has a beautiful British accent.

Hi stccmc,

在英国朋友的慈善聚会中, 认识Audrey Yu, 似乎是分辩不出她有动听的英国口音.  应该是我的层次低, 听不懂吧. 下次行山时会问朋友作为欧洲任的意见, 再与你分享.

中学时代Anson Chan 念圣心, (我特别不喜此校), Audrey 好似念St. Paul, 令千金念的学校, 平均英语水平更出色.

做到傅瑩的層次，英文是否 native 只是一個 academic 的問題，個人認為毫不重要。

我重視女兒的英語學習，但不會（不能）強求 native.  閣下要求 native 亦無不可，我亦專重。

不同選擇，價值和 priority 吧了。

They have some similarities but not the same.

Even people from different parts of England have different accents.
