The Big Questions.

 
       I ask these questions of everyone in China who is studying English.  What are you doing, in terms of studying English?  Why are you doing it?  Where will you be later on, as a user and beneficiary of English?  How will you get there?  Is English a “means” or an “end” for you?  When you have arrived at your “destination”, what will you do then?  English is often called a “bridge” to a better future, but have you ever studied the bridge, the gorge, and the other side…carefully?
