The English proficiency test was designed by the Ministry of Education and is supported by British linguistic experts. The examination took place in September. Huang Linzhi, a fourth-grader from a local primary school, started learning
foreign languages at the age of 4. She was required to watch English TV
programmes and videotapes and speak English everyday, despite the fact that her
parents do not know the language. |
