Hi brother dd05ng,
There's a lot that we can talk about those good old days.
I started to study English at P.3 with a very nicely printed English story book "John & Mary". I have not come across "A Pen and A Man" then.
I was really serious in studying English when I was in my secondary schooling at a Taiwanese English secondary school standing notably opposite to China Light & Power at Argyle street.
My the then school master implemented a weekly lesson of English recitation in all classes from Form 1 to Form 5. His experience told him that it was an effective way to learn English well for Chinese students.
So, throughout all those 5 years of my secondary schooling, all students in a class had to be prepared to be picked to recite a piece of English essay chosen in advance by the teacher, the school master himself.
I would not my English is good but I worked for two foreign companies for almost 25 years and did not encounter difficulty in our daily communication.
Since I have longer leisure now than in the past, I like to share my past experience with everybody here.
I think brother dd05ng will not be different !
Welcome aboard and cheers to that ...
