>I’m testing the English majors today. One of the students (who I may have mentioned before) never speaks. Under any circumstances. Since it is an oral test, if he does not speak, I will have no choice but to fail him.
I don’t know much about him, but he doesn’t seem to be some brat who’s here because daddy has money. He comes in every day and reads from his Phonetics book and writes down a lot. So why does he not speak?
Is it a lack of ability? Or is he too shy? Is the education system to blame? Or is he just bad at languages? Did his parents force him to choose this major?
That’s another thing I’m not too clear about. When I tested the Computer Science (or Computer Engineering, they didn’t know the English translation, which was but the beginning of the fun) majors, several of them said they had to pick this major due to scores on their entrance test.
Well, I am off to test. I’ll post later and tell you how it went. Biz!
