Learning English in Primary School

Learning English, in the past , is not funny.
I was not keen on learning English when I was young. I remember that there were two things we needed to do in English lessons: sit still and keep quiet. Everyday, the English teacher came to our class. After greetings, she turned on her miscrophone and started our lessons with these words:
"Take out your English book and turn to page..."
Then a boring lesson began. We did the exercises in the English books, checked the answers of the exercises and memorized lots of vocabularies. All of these became a routine job. The most exciting thing in English lessons should be watching ETV although we did not know much about the content of the episodes. It was better than just looking at the books only.
Time is changing. Teaching methods is changing too. More interesting ways of learning English are introduced in lessons. Learning English is more funny now.

沒錯啦,香港教學到現到都沒有什麼進步.真是,,,,唉.
所以最後,英文成為很多都恐懼的東西.
然後,在香港有一個怪現象.
講英文,人人都想好似講到外國人一樣,做到他們那accent就最好.連老師質素都有這種要求.
不過,在其他地方呢?澳洲,印度那些自己有口音就沒有什麼問題.偏偏就是香港人好介意自己口音.
我認為嘛,,,其實每個地區有自己的口音是正常的,怎麼能要求自己好像別人一樣,有那種的accent?
如果我們都明白這一點,那麼大家學英文的心理障礙就大大減低了.
