How to learn English in Chinese mainland is so-so! If you can't speak English fluently, why are those students in Hong Kong so good at English?

The English level of mainland students is not necessarily worse than that of Hong Kong students. On the contrary, it is often mainland students who win the first place in international English speaking competitions (which is of course related to our large population base).

A friend mentioned that a very important reason why Hong Kong students are good at English is related to colonization. Before 1997, a large number of Hong Kong people immigrated to Britain. Most children were born and educated in Britain, but after 1997, Hong Kong gained a good momentum, and many people sent their children back to Hong Kong. Most of these children use English as their first language. In addition, many courses in universities are taught in English, so English is easier for them.
