In response to Mr Fullwood's letter, his comments are right on the mark. It is only by engaging students and the population in general with native English-speaking Hong Kong people that their confidence to speak and write English can be built up. However, Mr Fullwood needn't give his services free. Businesses like mine (Mind Your Language Ltd) which employs 32 teachers currently - all overseas based - pay respectable rates. We do, of course, need editors and teachers to be experienced and qualified.
