It has been a fun-filled week of listening to really horrible speeches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My students at Tsinghua University are having a speech contest this weekend.\u00a0 Ms. Fan asked me to help them with their speeches by giving them advice and editing grammar\/usage\/etc.\u00a0 So, I told them that they could email me their drafts and I would see what I could do.\u00a0 Some of them are pretty horrible.\u00a0 One person made the mistake of including Chinese text also, which means that he wrote the speech in Chinese and then did a direct translation with a language translator online.\u00a0 I actually copied his Chinese text into Google Translator and there it was!\u00a0 Although it is mildly disappointing that my students don’t think their English is good enough to write in English, it makes for some pretty entertaining reading!\u00a0 So, I decided to share a particularly funny Chinglish speech with you!\u00a0 I hope you love it as much as I do!\u00a0 I might consider framing it!\u00a0 Here you go.\u00a0 Just be warned that you may be less intelligent after you read it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
