THAT WOMAN WHO HAD HATED ENGLISH LANGUAGE BEFORE TRIED TO GET OVER HER WEAKNESS, SO DO NOT MAKE FOOL OF HER MOTIVATION ABOUT THAT. EVEN THOUGH YOU GUYS CAN NOT LEARN ENGLISH AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, SHE WANTED YOU TO TELL HER HOW SHE SHOULD APPLY FOR THAT UNIVERSITY.
IN MY CASE, I CAN SPEAK BOTH ENGLISH AND CHINIESE AS FRUENT AS THEY ARE NATIVE. U SHOULDN'T HAVE TYPED JAPANESE ON THIS BBS THAT DEMANDS TO WRITE DOWN ENGLISH SENTENSE ON THE NET........
>>108 >>109 What ever the reason was, your English sucks. First of all, you couldn't even spell the word "fluent" correctly. Japs can not usually define L and R, you may be one of Japanese with terrible English. It's funny how you tried to act like a Chinese person. LOL
I have want to offer to everyone. Do everyone talk a 'common' topic that someone posted? I want to talk about a common topic with everyone, as everyone are sharing(and separated) always by some topics.
Yeah, the Japanese dialogue in *Heroes* is a little strange or rigid, but I've seen much worse.
I think Hiro's father has the worst accent of the bunch, no? I'm a native English speaker I can just barely tell the difference, but I can just barely tell when their vowels and intonations have an English coloration to them.
Given that Asians (Either South Asian in Britain or East Asian in America, Australia etc.) make up an increasingly large proportion of the population. It's not at all unrealistic to include at least one actor of Asian decent. Same applies to including someone of African decent.
For example there's an ad that's been airing in Australia recently for some sort of small Ford. It flashes through pictures of lots of different young couples standing next to the car. There's probably about 10 white couples and one Indian couple. It's honestly strange to watch because you sit there wondering why all the actors are white. In a country like Australia where there are a lot of people of East Asian decent it's strange not to include someone who at least looks East Asian.
Anyway I think the same principle applies to modern dramas. It would be strange for the cast not to at least partially reflect the social reality.
