Subject: Re: Why I don't like about the proposed new addition to the school Author: Lam [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:21:35 01/24/03 Fri In reply to: Lam 's message, "Why I don't like about the proposed new addition to the school" on 14:10:33 01/23/03 Thu Thank you, thank all of you guys of letting me know that I am not alone. Our tie to the school is largely an emotional one, very much like a religion. This is hard or even impossible to explain to outsiders in words. My wife doesn't understand me, my son doesn't understand me, but that doesn't matter. Bottom line is our appeal need not be all rational.

[> Subject: Re: Why I don't like about the proposed new addition to the school Author: Lam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:47:11 01/24/03 Fri Toby just faxed me a clipping of the latest issue of the 'One' Magazine. It says some Wahyanites found it hard to make donation to the school becasue of the English of the principal. Basically I don't believe what the magazine said. Chances are the reporter has mis-quoted what he/she had been told. If what the magazine said is true, I find it appalling and disappointing to say the least to know that there are Wahyanites out there who refused to help the school because of somebody's poor English ! What a poor excuse which missed the point totally. What's the point of nagging on people's English and not talk about the issue itself. To be honest, except for the few talented ones (like Ashley), most of us as Chinese don't write perfect English, but so what ? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
