but it's better to speak chinese everyday, and maybe you are the worst English speaker in the class. so don't complain that it is not useful. it helps you to make progree in English especially in the first term. Don't you think you have make rapic progress after one term, if you attend every class. But some new chinese students always be late for class, and even skip class. it won't help if you study like that, that's why a lot people didn't pass the CAEL test even they have already come here more than one year. I just met a ESL teacher last week who taught me 2 years ago. She told me that the new chinese students don't study that hard and always skip class.
So I suggest the fellow guys who are taking ESL that stop complain these and those, but find the reasons from yourself first.
Those are my opinions that wanna share with you.
