Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Argentina's
Kirchner sparks row after China accent gibes
“Are they only
there for the lice (rice) and petloleum (petroleum)?”
It is so disrespectful
and inconsiderate to make a fool of others for their pronunciation of a foreign
language, isn’t it? Can you imagine the president of a country made such a foolish
tweet during a state visit in order to the most proud nation to strengthen the
tie and ask for economic assistance?
Though both the
state media and the ministry of foreign affairs remain quiet, one of the
bloggers posted, “How about you say two sentences in Chinese so I can hear your
pronunciation?”
Enjoy reading and
imagining what sort of excuse or comment the Argentina president would tweet
next.
