Hi @Mao , thanks for sending me by email. I’m not sure why you weren’t able to post, but never mind!
Very good work and good vocabulary use. You are improving.
I had the same impression as I hadn’t realised this trend either. Although, many of my colleagues have started teaching Chinese kids. With the Covid situation, many teachers have lost their job, but Chinese online schools are hiring.
Anyway! Let’s get down to business!
1. Nationality: ‘Chinese’ is an adjective.
Whereas ‘the Chinese’ is a noun to mean the Chinese population (we can say: the Chinese OR Chinese people)
‘Chinese’ (without ‘the’) is a noun to man the language. Therefore:
Before arguing the following points, the scene of THE Chinese shouting out loud was terrifying me. I even didn’t know how enthusiastic Chinese youthS are ABOUT learning English.
Try and read through the text again and make the corrections where necessary.
2. Missing article and suggested changes>
I find THE WORD mania HAS A more positive connotation to me in the way that people ….
3. It is more like forced brainwashING which restricts students mindS from interest-driven learning, but pushES them TO LEARN English as an obligation by using propaganda.
4. Because it is spoken by a largest number of races…> largest is a superlative. Can you fix the article?
5. Japan, for example, use to place English ... > can you correct the grammar (use)?
6. Year by year, the starting period of learning English IS BECOMING earlier. (You need to use the present continuous to describe current trends)
