The level of knowledge of English among British students is inferior to foreigners

Local UK students know less English than students from countries where English is considered a foreign language.

This pattern was revealed at Imperial College London by Professor Bernard Lamb. This was evidenced by the written works of students, comparing them, Lamb was horrified, since good knowledge of the language was demonstrated by foreign students, and not by those for whom English is their native language. The errors were completely absurd, for example sun instead of son;bean - been. As it turned out, the point is not only inattention, but also in incorrect word usage and elementary grammatical errors.

To enter the Imperial College, you need to prove yourself as a student who speaks good English, knowledge is assessed on the exam upon graduation from school. The professor was also surprised by the fact that many students who have lived in the UK for a long time have not received basic knowledge of the English language.

“Why go to college where good English is required if you haven't mastered the basic school course,” says Lamb.

Lamb is not used to talking in vain, so he soon wants to publish common student mistakes in Quest magazine. So he wants to draw the attention of the British government to the quality of school education.
