English

was talking to my underperforming cousin about the benefits of learning english since he does not see the point of learning english. and his reasoning is he knows how to read what ever there is to read. and with the emergence of china, english is not that important. all this was mentioned without the naming of his chinese grade which according to my other sources has a range, a range of c6 to e8. impressive.

so then i asked him to read a passage, " they left the ..... across the walls of hadrian, far up north through the forest of despair and down into the valley of sweet lovin' .... finally they reached an old cabin just after noon."

so smarty, what time did they reach the cabin?
