"We're basically creating the same environment for our children as an American preschooler would have," says Shen Hui-lien, a teacher at Chunghsing Primary School. On Wednesday afternoons she speaks only English with the children. They must ask "May I go to the bathroom?"
「我們等於是為小朋友創造一個相當於美國小孩的學齡前環境，」中興國小沈蕙蓮老師說，每星期三的下午，完全用英文和小朋友溝通，譬如去上廁所前，一定要用英文徵得老師同意：「May I go to the bathroom？」
