Well said.

I would like to add... I'm curious. Why do you spend so much time on the ESL teachers board, when it seems like you are only here to pick on every detail that is said. It seems as if yo are looking to fight. Do you have a personal problem with a foreigner that you know? I think it would be good for you to deal with the root problem, instead of gathering mistaken conclusions from the teachers that want to chat here.

Just my humble opinion. I appreciate your views as a Chinese person, but if you could try to understand what life is like for foreigners here, maybe you wouldn't end up so offended all the time.

Take Care. Looking forward to hearing you positive comments in the future.
