I found a strange thing regarding the English learning of my daughter. From the beginning of September, she started her English learning in KXD, it’s the agency under Webber. Every week, she need to join two English classes on Sunday. For the parents, we don’t have any opportunity to watch their lessons so after class, we usually ask our daughter: what did you learn during the class, but actually she couldn’t tell you anything about the class. Required by the school and teacher, we need to review the content which she studied during the class. My daughter can read after us, but if we required her to translate the Chinese into English, it’s very difficult to do so. If we said the English word, it’s easier for her to translate into Chinese. Sometimes we found she should know how to say the English word, but she didn’t want to say.
