Judging the candidates on the use of wrong expressions or vocabulary isn't helpful given most Hong Kong people do not get the chance to speak English usually. That said, more training on writing/speaking style of English and proper usage of vocabularies must be provided to the students. One of the programme guests has suggested that students can improve their reading skill by going over more sample essays from the IETLS exam. This sounds ridiculous as a way to learn any language. The literacy of reading can only be built up from the young age and by wide reading.
