Many people blame their unwillingness to speak out as the reason they didn't master English many years ago. Foreign teachers can probably help today's children dare to open their mouths and speak English. The responsibility for ensuring that foreign teachers are not just "walking tape recorders," but rather help youngsters to have deeper cultural interaction with them, lies with parents, teachers, and language schools.
許多大人都把當年學不好英文的原因歸咎於不敢開口，外籍老師也許可以幫助現代兒童開口說英文，但如何不讓外籍教師淪為只是「會走路的錄音機」，而是讓小朋友和老師有更深入的文化互動，家長、老師和補習班都有責任。
