I heard of a school director cursing and questioning why students still can't speak English when they study the language from 8 in the morning till 5 and afterwards they go to a language school for special classes. She also lamented the low level of the people's language skill as the ASEAN Economic Community is almost on the get-go.
Meanwhile, a Starbucks branch here has waived its subscription to an English newspaper. So, English is nowhere to be found except for the brochures located in a far corner inside the store.
A close friend has related that his students in high school don't really take English seriously. As if they don't really care for the subject.
On the other hand, a security guard is so desperate to learn English from a foreigner in an apartment he has been working in. He also asked the foreign guy if he could give the tutorial for free because he can't afford to pay which the latter agreed by all odds.
People have different attitude towards learning. Some just don't really give a damn but some are really serious about it. There are many other situations where extremes are being seen in their approach apropos learning. And through their attitude, reflections are conspicuous through its ramifications.
