yeah

isn't the way english studied in china rather different, as in they focus on memorising words.

yeah, u r correct....and plus: study grammar........which makes me so bored to study it.....but less time can used for communiate with people.....If u speak english in china to your friends...normally ( 80%, I am pretty much sure not 100%), they will laugh at u....I dont know why....

haha ol'-fashion Chinese are such studious freaks... three verbs in chinese for study, each with different timeframe:

预 xi - study in preparation
练 xi - study in exercise
复 xi - study in revision

edit: pinyin because char won't display

 

[bubz :D]

as Darth Vader may have said, resistance is futile.

John Locke's social contract theory: submit yourself to the greater expectations of your Asian parents.

bubz, what did your dad say when you (i assumed) asked him the simple question..

"dad *flickers eyes*, what is there to study for?.. have you not realised that my exams have already FINISHED YOU POMPOUS PRICK!! *delivers kick to the balls*

 

[Frigid]

"dad *flickers eyes*, what is there to study for?.. have you not realised that my exams have already FINISHED YOU POMPOUS PRICK!! *delivers kick to the balls*

instant disownership, loss of inheritance, thrown out of house since no responsibility of care after age of 18.

 

[Collin]

okay lemme modify it a bit: more emphasis on the eye flickering, less emphasis on the balls kicking.

a typical convo between me and my dad:

dad: ok i heard you want to do [Action X]. i've considered it, and i don't allow it because it involves [Reason Y] and [Possible Consequence Z] which are unsafe. stay home.

me: so can we negotiate to a mutual compromise?

dad: ok, we'll negotiate.

*dad bursts into my room with a shotgun, blows a hole through the gyprock, i get scared shitless and cower to the floor with hands on head*

dad: (*impersonating Bruce Willis*) anyone else wanna negotiate?

nah srsly, a typical convo is like this:

me: please?
dad: no

*end of negotiations*
