The kinds of errors you are making are not due to bad teaching, but due to not having internalized the informal grammar of English. A street kid wouldn't make the same errors you make.

Well, they're branching out. I guess this is a test case for you, in which case I suppose I'm actually improving your game in the long run, which… ugh.
Heh, "go screw you".
Your English is good enough to pass in a lot of cases, but the specific errors you make are easy to spot and something that's specific to native speakers of Asian languages. A nice example is "Father career military". No native speaker would miss out both the articles and the verbs in a sentence - it sounds too weird.…
So… do you actually get paid to do this or is it just something you do in your spare time?
Actually was just doing that. It's kind of funny, the language is just off enough that you can tell he didn't grow up speaking it, and the virulent anti-Japanese streak is a dead giveaway that he's Chinese (as well as continuous quotes from official Communist party propaganda).
Eh, they all look the same?
I think (I hope) you're mistaking what the Cultural Revolution was. (I suspect there may be a translation issue here - this is the movement he started in the late 60's which lasted until his death and the arrest of the Gang of Four.)
Well…. you're stretching the point too far in the opposite direction. What the West did to China is an evil on par with slavery and the Holocaust, frankly. I mean, going to WAR with a country TWICE to force it to let you flood its streets with hard drugs? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. These sorts of actions…
There's six of them!
Boy, but whatever. One's much the same as the other.
Well…. yes, it's not as if the Western world in general is blameless with regards to China, and basically 150 years of raping the country created a situation where a monster like Mao could take power. But for the 30 years he was in power, the West had almost no influence over his actions at all.
I also call that "Tuesday".

You have your movies ranked past 21?
It's almost as bad as calling something Valentine's Day for white people. Ugh.
Oh, right, I get it. Yeah… that's irritating. I mean they can pop up in some other film as The Black Friend or whatever, and maybe if they're really lucky they'll get to be The Exotic Love Interest or something (/sarcasm/).
Berkeley Breathed was influenced by Watterson? Seems to have the timelines backwards…
Doesn't your complaint apply to any movie that isn't Boyz in the Hood or 12 Years a Slave or whatever that features mostly black people? (I'm assuming that those are Black People Movies That Make the Darkies Riot or something.)
I really take taking a shower and changing after smoking up. You feel slightly less like a degenerate, you don't stink and no one knows what's up, but you can still be high as balls.
