I was sent some past test papers from a student studying for her gaokao, the usual 'read this and tick one of four answers'. The "correct" answers were also provided. Not only were some of the questions ambiguous or impossible to answer, but some of the "correct" answers were actually wrong! I understand her Chinese English teacher wrote the test papers. The student sent me the papers because she could see some were incorrect. Wouldn't you think the native English teachers would check them?

In our daily life, more and more loanwords appear and change our habits in Chinese expression. Loanwords sound very similar with their original English words, and the process of learning them is full of fun to foreign students.
It has been a while since I've contributed to this Forum and I figured that since now I am officially on summer holiday and another school year is behind me I would share a post with you.
