Why are you learning English? #46 (permalink) Sat Aug 25, 2007 9:46 am   Why are you learning English?
 

So if you hate China, or you just hate this country cannot provide you the better job(or life)? In case of the China can give you many chances for emigrating to the U.S then you didn't say the remarks like that before?

Everybody has dream,big dream maybe, but it has not much to do with which country they are living, and what color they are. Because those elements we can't select before we came to this world. I think that is the real fair way. You didn't born in the U.S so you feel hard to fullfill your dream. I will say if you had has bron in the US, you may not to do that either. Since in that time, you may have a bigger dream and meanwhile has a bigger trouble. Till that point, when you can't make your dream coming true, you still will complain the life, the world and the country even if it is the U.S. I believe.

I am a chinese and I come from mainland of it. I have a dream also and now I am preparing to go the U.S for my PHD. Everything seems rush but I am copeing with them. However, I never feel hard about my status as a Chinese student. And I don't think my country has being a barriar in this way I achieving my dream. In my opinion, all the problems I am facing are as same as those who wants to attain their destinations are having. It's really normal you feel tough, you feel teird, you feel unconfident to this way accessing to the succeed.

Remember one person said: I never had the real hardship because I know one thing that is: The life is a long long process accumulating the knowledge, the final ending can not be changed by any single event.

Nice to meet you, princess, I'm sorry to remark that kind of political things which might cause you uncomfortable, I'm sorry for that. In your shoes, you might say the same to me, to Taiwan yet you didn't.

Thanks for your sharing, someday If someone is like you, it's me.

Nice to meet you too Ed.

You needn't feel guilty. I haven't attacked you because I know what's the equility is to respect other's belief, languages,principles like I respect mine. You have the rights to point out your opinion and I protect this kind of right for you. But it doesn't mean I am not love my country as deeply as you.

Even if I said the last passage, it seems a little cunning, I just accord to your words you posted before and I reasoned it as my conclusion. I still will protect your rights for your political belief in future.

Have a good day.And, your English is really great. It's pity that you didn't go aborad to act your dream.

Nice to hear so, buddy Wink As a matter of fact what I REALLY want is the peace between the conditions of our two, looking at the smiles on family's faces, talking about the trips to each other's mainland with close friends that will be great, be paradise. After all the history is just the history in the PAST. Very Happy

Well, I don't know whether I should laugh or not when hearing your appreciating my English degree, but actually I love math and history most. However none has ever said that my math or history is good. Confused

There are too many things which could not be changed by wishes. I just respect to see the truth of this problem. Because we all educated by the national history and they are both served to the wants of each of governments. However, let it go.

If you really want to learn more in academy, you should pay some efforts for it. Even if it seems naive. Things won't be such hard as you thought them. Firstly you need to try once at least.

Language is a tool for communication. I am really hope to learn people from different cultures. People of different cultures will respond to the same event in differnt way. so what has caused them to behave so differently? What do they think about other countries and why?
All in all i think people will learn more from each other through communication and English is the only language that works nowadys.

Anyway, we're not like China.

But we regard Taiwan as a part of China, though we are really different.

Yes, China regard Taiwan as a part of itself, the USA dose it as well. Yet Taiwan regard itself independent. Wink

I don't think the US really regards Taiwan as part of China. In order to deal with China, our government had to sign some treaty that claims Taiwan is part of China, but at the same time the government deals with Taiwan as if it were independent, and most Americans think of Taiwan as independent.

Why does it always have to be that whatever topic name is, it ends up with discussing politic issues Smile
I really fail to see the connection between the US and China goverments and the reason why I learn English Confused

Hi, Jamie

Dont take offence at my remark, I am not acusing anybody. Smile
I just noticed that you, Aleaf, Chen and some other members are very zeal to discuss politic issues. I myself am not that fond of politics, so I dont understand your eagerness Smile
