my daughter is in public school, so we have to choose a English academy outside, to let her to learn more English, speaking, writing, reading. I think it’s important to learn more than they studied at school, because the curriculum in her school is very basic. The sentence is not very useful and different from which the foreigners really talk about. The English academy in China usually teach more speaking English for the kids. My husband’s English is better than me, he very care about education for my daughter, he thinks reading and writing is more important. So he teach the English using the curriculum of the USA.
