One of my hot posts written in English

by BI Yantao, China

On Oct. 30, I submitted a post entitled “China: Internet censorship tightened” to Fool’s Mountain. To my surprise, it incites heated discussions among the FM’s users. Until 16:00 Nov. 2 (Beijing time), 67 comments have been posted.

To tell the truth, it is a good opportunity for me to enlarge my horizon and improve my English. Jerry, one of FM’s users, said openly to me, “It is an opportunity to learn to communicate across our language, social and cultural barriers”. He is so wise to have observed “Miscommunications and misunderstandings will happen. And learning is never in a straight line. ”
