What do you think of the English mania in China?
To some extent, a good command of English language means more opportunities and will give you a great advantage over others. But the importance of English cannot be overemphasized.

Sample: It occurred while I was absorbed in the mysterious world of the iPhone. My English teacher wrote two sentences on the blackboard: 1) The king would wear no clothes which make him appear differently from others; 2) The king would wear no clothes, which makes him appear differently from others. Glancing at the two sentences, I thought the teacher must have made a mistake because these two sentences were the same. Suddenly, the class burst into a loud laughter. Only then did I realize that adding a comma could show a big difference in meaning.

Sample: Afterward, something interesting happened to me again. At the beginning of my English class one day, the teacher returned our homework assignment. To my surprise, my teacher had crossed out -ly in the sentence “I studied English hardly.” “Isn’t hardly an adverb?” I asked myself. Later, of course, I figured out what was wrong: an over-generalization! I was assuming every adjective added with -ly still maintains the meaning of that adjective. Not till then did I find out that hardly actually means “almost not”, so what I wrote made a world of difference from what I wanted to say.
