| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:47 | comment | added | Kinzle B | I feel fun too. And I don't think lots of people are fond of it. Even some of professors in my university couldn't go that deep even though they do have a really impressive command of English. But they have their own talent like arts, speeches, etc. @Stoney | |

| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:18 | comment | added | Kinzle B | And yes, participle phrases like this are common in all kinds of articles. What I meant was that teachers in China sometimes did seem to lay too much more stress on some tricky usages than are necessary. That's why even some native speakers couldn't pass the exams created by them. Now, English-learning is no longer a compulsory course in China. It's really a big reform. @Stoney | |
| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | Kinzle B | Sorry, I really miswrote that. It should've been 'against'. I had intended to mean that was not a good way of learning English. I'm not a teacher(see my info), but I was made into a cookie-cutter mold by my teachers in China. Thus, I feel compelled to ask searching questions than are necessary. That's it. @StoneyB | |
| Jul 18, 2014 at 16:00 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | @ZhanlongZheng I think I have to disagree with "far beyond good learning", at least if you are teaching students who will be called on to read a lot of formal prose. Participle phrases like this are very common there. | |
| Jul 18, 2014 at 15:38 | comment | added | Kinzle B | Yes, that's an attributive participle phrase. I remember my high school exams were stuffed full of questions on that. Teachers in China are always obssessed with those tricky usages, which I think go far beyond good learning. That's why I have been asking lots of searching questions. :-) | |
