In 1990, The People's Education magazine reported on an English teacher using a new approach in Anhui Province's Huaibei City. After just one semester, the number of failing students in the teacher's 41-student class had dropped from 15 to five, while the number of students with a 90-plus average had risen from six to 15.
一九九○年「人民教育」雜誌說，安徽省淮北市一位英語老師採用新的英語教學法，一學期後，班上四十一名學生中不及格的學生人數由十五人降到五人，九十分以上的學生由六人增加為十五人。
