But your paragraph is too long. I'm not good at
reading long paragraph.
I always felt a bit funny when seeing people showing
off their TOFEL/GRE scores. (Seems like Taiwanese
ladies did that twice. Wonder why. Maybe people tend to
have lower expection for ladies there. So ladies can
boast about TOFEL/GRE scores if they do well.)
I guess they don't have much better things to show,
so they have to turn to those numbers years ago. And
also, those articles were not written to impress
high-quality people like Hoobastank
Look around, how many top-scorce students are really
successful in theire life-time? Chinese people just
paid too much attention to book-intelligence. Maybe
we should have a quantitive way to measure people-
intellignce (or EQ), so people can boast about EQ
score also. (Is there way to EQ score already? )
