You're not planning a trip to the sun, during the day, are you? :) (sorry, Rod, I couldn't help asking, and I was wondering pretty much the same thing...)
I thought zc science was checking on the material he's being presented with, to learn English... ?

It is interesting.
Chinese English teaching pays more attention to Grammar but less spoken language.
I don't think the system we study is right~
I'm trying to improve my spoken English now

RE: It is

[disclaimer... this is for the school I taught at in S. Korea]
This is true in other parts of Asia. In the middle and high school levels the focus is on grammar. The elementary classes I taught the focus was on conversation and vocabulary.
I think this has a lot to do with preparing kids for things like the TOEFL and the TOEIC. However, I thought one of those was moving to include a spoken test.
I didn't teach a lot of middle/high school kids. During the week, I taught elementary exclusively. Mostly lower levels too where they kids were total beginners. And I liked it that way.
