Teacher Li conducted them from the stage like a cross between a travelling medicine salesman and a stand-up comedian. Li will cure you. After a couple of years of this, he decided it was time to do some serious thinking about his future. Li took to going outside and shouting the English phrases he was trying to learn at the top of his voice. I felt very bad about myself.
Self confidence is a serious problem for most Chinese people.
Believing the best way to deal with this was to face his fear, Li decided to share his study techniques by giving a public lecture. We combine rock 'n' roll with information sharing. It was a big hit with the young students. His approach is very useful because Chinese people don't speak when they study English. Even older teachers more skeptical about the value of Li's methods conceded that he addressed a real and pressing problem in terms of both student attitudes and the education system as a whole.
