I grew up in Hong Kong and now live in the US. My impression of Hong Kong is that people can be very mean. There are many things by which people judge others. There is also this elite mentality that I strongly dislike. It seems to me that people in Hong Kong are trying to be in the elite group or try to appear (by outward appearance, speaking english, driving a nice car, etc) to be in the elite group. The fact that Hong Kong University students are educated, then they should be having an open mind and be less prejudiced. Making a difference in the world is better than continuing some absurd lifestyle or mentality.

I think that perhaps they are indeed so self-depreciative that they feel obliged to emulate superficially 'high-end' stuff to sugercoat their personas, which in turn exudes their lack of empathy.

Some of this culture probably originated from the UK where in a collegiate system, some colleges are harder to get in than others and therefore more prestigious such as Trinity College in both Cambridge and Oxford. I don’t think other Commonwealth countries follow the UK tradition to the same extent.

I agree. We should not judge a person by just one facade of his/her life. Only a narrow-minded would do.

It's not about being prejudicial or a snob but rather whether it fits. If you're not very good at English you probably shouldn't be learning the law because all the readings are in English. When you start practicing you'll also be using English all the time.

聽返自己讀英文既錄音其實有好大幫助 我自己就會有以下問題 1. consonant發音唔清楚 2. 讀中文會有邊讀邊 其實英文都會, 短片講到既in·famous就係一個例子 3. Stressed syllable錯左 4. 同一個字既noun同verb發音唔同但讀既時候無分, e.g. project 4. 另外就係英文字連埋同分開讀其實可以有好大分別, e.g. side effects 呢嗰係講英文linking既特色 5. past tense endings /t/ /d/ /ed/既差別

There is no correct way of speaking English. England, Scotland and Ireland have their own way speaking English. Even different parts of England speak a different tongue e.g. Liverpool or London. Just within the UK, the way of speaking is so diverse. Between countries such as Australia, UK, USA, NZ and Canada there are distinct accents. As for Commonwealth countries each country has its own accent. For example Hong Kongers speak with a certain distinct tone.
Tiffany, It would damage your reputation as a pronunciation teacher if you cannot tell the difference between /f/ and /v/. Instead of the /v/ in /'fi:-və/, you have repeatedly articulated /'fi:-fə/.

There is nothing wrong with a C even just passed the course. It all depends on the grading system. If you are a slow learner; you fail on your quizzes, then your overall grade is going to be lower, but you can challenge the Exams. If you got 100%, you are not going to have an A, but a passed mark. 30% quizzes, 30% mid-term, 40% final.

It is inexcusable and shameful for a university student whose English level is below the required standard and level. What the student is doing is inevitably displaying personal weakness or deficiency in english level that is inconsistent with his/ her current studying level or standard, to public.

There’s numerous talented individuals who just weren’t given the opportunity or the environment to cash in their potentials. And university should be an institution for students to focus on what they are passionate with and talented in instead of proving their proficiency in English so as to meet the so-called public standard.

@@roadtofreedom1428 What you meant is that it is acceptable and even a good, tenable pretext for a university student whose English level is at a level below the required standard, or even at a primary level. While you may still insist your views, in reality how is the public perception in this subject? As a matter of fact, it merits a disgrace and condemnation for a university stent with poor English level. As you are a university student, you tell people that you are a university student and then people would understand and expect your english level should be at least reaching university level and even good and excellent. On the contrary, you actually aren't. Instead of finding any excuse or pretext, seeking and grasp hold of more opportunities to improve and strengthen English level is a more helpful and pragmatic solution. Many students who also been come from a Chinese secondary school can still srive to yield good English level. As such, learning environment and family background should not be used as a excuse. Facing the reality and improving and strengthening English level is better than finding a pretext!
