This is an excellent post. I share your thoughts exactly.

Chinese text books are a joke, IMHO, and often riddled with mistakes.

Whoever is likely to win this season's X-Factor is far more important than the possibility of Trump starting WWIII.

People cannot lift their head up from their smartphone for a nanosecond, preferring instead to live in their own pathetic 'bubble'.

Then, of course, ESL teachers get the blame for not 'teaching' them when in fact, the kids don't have the time or inclination to learn anything other than how to get the highest score on the latest computer game.

Quite sad really.
