I need it to participate, function, and succeed in the society in which I live? - I did not learn English for fun or out of my own interest.
- Diasporic Chinese people go to school whether that be in USA, Canada, UK, Australia or whatever, because that's common sense, and they teach English there?
- I did not learn English because I feel that I am culturally English or because I wanted to be Anglo for an aesthetic effect, as if I had these romantic visions of Shakespeare and Henry VIII in my head while being ~English~ and cosplaying in a doublet and ruff.
- And most importantly I must use English proficiently to participate, function, and succeed in the society in which I live.
