Dear all, This is Richard Guozhen Li from Taiwan, or you can just call me
Richard. Why I’m called Richard? Well, that’s because I want to make more money
to buy a bigger house and a bigger car. In order to do that, I need to be richer(Richard)! I’ve helped you remember my name better, haven’t I? Well,
I’ve been teaching in a junior high school here in TaichungCity, the third largest city in Taiwan, for ten
years already. My students are around thirteen to fifteen years old, starting
learning English from Grade 2 in
their elementary schools. They have to work very hard to test into a better
senior high school, so the purpose of learning English is mainly about how to
get better grades on written and standardized tests, which is a common
phenomenon shared by most young learners in Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
