Thanks. Is it an important musical festival?

The first thing must be to ask them why they are taking the course, and what they want to learn.

It's a very popular festival that's been going for a long time, and is typically British in a traditional way.

Thanks for the advice. The problem is that most Chinese students are shy, as students in most Asian countries. They seldom raise questions in class.

As far as I know, their jobs require communication with English speakers. That's why they registered.

Thank you, Richard. I've never heard of it before. I'll mention it in the class this Sunday:)
