China’s 19-member mountaineering team has managed to carry the Olympic torch to the summit of Mt Everest, the world’s highest peak on Thursday (April 8).
The final ascent was broadcast live on China’s national TV, with a Tibetan woman taking the Olympic torch at the last steps to the top of Everest.
This patriotic Chinese student is among thousands of Chinese students and expatriates taking part in a silent protest on April 19 against the BBC and other British news organization for their distorted and biased reports on Lhasa riots and the London leg of Olympics torch relay.
I am not really sure how biased BBC was, but this Chinese patriot probably needs to spend more time learning his English…
English lesson of The Day…
Lier: A person who lies down (horizontally, i.e. lies on bed, lies on floor)
Liar: A person who tells lies (not telling the truth)
I make a lot of English grammatical mistakes too, so it’s probably not proper for me to tease this fella; but it’s just funny… imagine you are on international news and the first thing people notice is some bizarre typo.
