Perpetuating Victorian English into the 21st Century

An artifact of the powers which be that constrain the course for 21st century English users is identified in the February 16 Ivy League English lesson.   Due to overteaching structure, the structure "so... that" , " so many...", "not only, but also"  are often overused by Taiwanese English users, especially since it has an emphatic tone that is unlikely to be often used.


Check it out.  Also mention is found after 6 minutes into the program about a useful book that native Chinese speakers can learn about common listening errors.  The book is named 一本搞定英語常見錯誤:英文正誤辨析A到Z  and you can get more information by pressing the link associated with the name.

Again, Ivy Analytical English and its broadcast is a most worthwhile English resource for improving your English.
