What's your Chinese proficiency level?
Anonymous
After expressing his disappointment and suspicion about my bachelor's degree for another few minutes, he started to question my Chinese language proficiency. He said: "I see you use a lot of English terms when talking, I'm not sure if you can use Chinese properly." I almost laughed, because I'm a native Chinese, and he's a Malaysian. I got almost a full score in my Chinese Writing in Gaokao (that he's so obsessed about). And this is just more than awkward, I'm talking with him in Chinese the entire time, and I've been using Chinese my whole life, but he still couldn't decide if I have the ability to use Chinese, simply because I inserted a few English words in our conversation, JUST AS WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING.
