I am not alone in this predicament. Out of the 45 students in our class, only about five can read and understand a Chinese newspaper. The remaining students are like me. Yes, we finished up to fourth year Chinese but our level might just be compared to an elementary student in Taiwan.
如此情況悲慘的人也並不只有我，班上四十五個同學，就只有五個能看懂中文報，其他的學生全都和我一樣，儘管讀完了中學四年級，中文仍然只有台灣小學生的程度。
