Take a minute, to imagine what it would be like, if you were writing a worksheet that will help you improve your English. Then, you hear a faint voice from the teachers and Chinese being spoken everywhere, you even hear some distracting swear words in Chinese. Then, you get bad scores. This is a very serious issue at KAS. I think there should be a rule against speaking Chinese outside of Chinese class at KAS. I think it should be like this because parents pay money for kids to learn English, not Chinese, kids can get more opportunities, and kids will say less bad words.

My first reason is because kids come to KAS to learn English, not Chinese. Speaking Chinese is distracting for students who are trying to learn English. If there is a rule against speaking Chinese outside of Chinese class, then students can learn English much easier. Bubble Ho is having a hard time learning English because to much Chinese is being spoken around her. If kids can not learn English well, then it is a waste of money to parents.

Another reason is because kids are saying bad words in Chinese, and that’s a problem. In Chinese class, kids will not say it because the Chinese teachers can understand. In English classes though, teachers understand only some of the bad words in Chinese. That means kids are saying them over and over, because of that, kids are learning more of them now.

Lastly, if kids can speak English and Chinese well, then they can get more opportunities. If you have lots of opportunities, then you can earn more money. If you don’t have an opportunity at all, than you will not have enough money to get into University. You might even become poor!

Parents might say, “Then how will my kids learn Chinese then?” Your kids can still speak Chinese in Chinese class, cram schools, and at home. That is probably enough. Parents could also argue that they never heard any kids say any bad words, but for me, as a kid, I hear them almost everyday. Most adults do not hear because kids do not want to say it in front of adults, or they will get into serious trouble.

Those are my three reasons of why Chinese should not be spoken anywhere on campus besides Chinese class. I took a survey on the class, and four-fifths of the class agreed with me. I hope we can do our very best to make this school a better place for our students.
