Correct me if I'm wrong, but from our earlier correspondence, you gave me the impression that you read the likes of Beijing Review, China Daily instead of the Guardian, the New York Times, the Daily Mirror, etc. (these are all online, by the way - just so that you won't be able to say they are beyond your reach). That's the reason why you keep having problems with expats who are native speakers of the English tongue.
English is a devilish tongue, you see, one that takes lots of practice to get used to. So therefore, instead of scolding you for your disappointment in yourself, I want say that your disappointment is a good thing. It'll probably spur you on to reading more writings by native speakers.
So read more Expats (capital letter totally unnecessary, by the way) Gilbert. Read on. Your problems will go away in due course.
Ironic, I know, but do be happy with your disappointment.
Every once in a while, you know, I hear readers ask whether Beijing Review or China Daily is a good source for English study. I always say that they are if you have no alternatives. You see, Gilbert, the best writings - language-wise, of course - in the said publications are wire stories or those written by native speakers. Since that is more or less the case, why don't you read foreign publications in the first place?
In my eyes, you see, neither Beijing Review, which seems to be your favorite magazine, nor China Daily is the choicest material for English studies.
