Dr. Tong,
It seems that you under-estimated the English standard of HK people especial for those persons who work in the financial field. I believe that they can communicate with foreigner effectively. Such story will only happen in mainland China a few years ago. Today, even mainland China staffs in related field will not have such problem. |

本人2011年初買樓, agent幫我找按揭代理幫手, 提供6間銀行給的選擇做按揭, 我先將自己資料 及 已付訂金的單位資料, 給這些的銀行.
叫銀行報下自己的按揭利率, 發覺中銀, 永亨好遲才回覆, 東亞, 渣打 的息口又比較高, 建行的sales有誠意, 一開始已提供比其他銀行更低息,又不斷連絡我, 可幫我更快處理按揭事宜, 更可方便我, 可到我住的地區簽約, 及親自對我講解細節.
而匯豐由我交資料後, 過兩星期回覆已批按, 然後我回絕了, 匯豐職員問我為什麼不選匯豐, 我答匯豐的按揭利率 不比其他銀行吸引, 我說已口頭答應建行, 並約這星期簽約. 然後匯豐職員說, 匯豐可提供的 按揭利率 比 建行 可低 0.5%, 叫我未簽約前 可改變主意.

Your expression of course has no problem. You can say "good at everything" but the problem with 2/f is that he uses "not good at..." this is a negative expression and should follow with anything but not everything. Isn't it? |

Really really funny! Can't agree more! It's true and I come across this kind of situation very often! Usually speaking English is a effective way to get the job done, quickly and quietly.
I have been lurking in here for a while because of those nonsense comments but can't help myself today after reading those great opinions about "Use of English". Can't people just say something get to the point! hahahahaha |

To: Ant
What is the meaning of this sentence? '調查員可能自己知道沒有辦法用英文將整個事件解釋清楚，在這情況下，批核是最簡單的解決方法。' |

To XX:
On the surface, this sentence '調查員可能自己知道沒有辦法用英文將整個事件解釋清楚，在這情況下，批核是最簡單的解決方法。' means the english standard. But if you think deeper, if the investigator is facing a "Fillpino" who is also saying english, will he be so laid back?
I think most ppl who work in foreign company in HK face the same problem. They treat 鬼 and other ppl with double standard. |

匯豐夠靈活, 中銀死古古 遇到自顧人士(無論生意大小的老板 ), 匯豐的企業借貸夠進取, 中銀較保守, 大額按揭, 匯豐贏晒。 |

一講英文邊個叻d，大家立即變曬英文老師，sigh... 英文留番同番鬼佬講 la。我地香港好特別，英文係學離同中國人講既。一句至尾，教育失敗(no native English speakers to interact during prime learning times)，個個香港畢業生，大大話話學左，十九幾年英文(包括小人)，英文都係咁屎，睇英文台都係明一兩成，人地讀國際學校就巴巴閉 ... sigh... 希望有朝一日，個個土炮學子都有良好英語水平，唔好比人地威曬 |

It sounds totally hilarious the article at the beginning but here's our experience earlier when applying the loans from BOC, HSBC, Standard Chartered & Hang Seng in June. BOC rejected us even though we could have easily pass all kinds of stress tests & whatever measurements the monetary authority needs. But the other three have no problems letting us take the mortagage. The reasons for BOC to reject us is because we had already 4 loans with them, they're trying to minimize the risk & also you know they're very conservative in certain ways & when my husband complained to them(face of course, he already had three offers), no one understand what he wants!!! And please don't over-estimate the standard of English of HK people....... I don't wanna say I believe in what Dr. Tong says but in a way, it makes some sense because HSBC will surely hire some expat.s to deal; with issues like that but never in BOC!!! |

文章主要是想帶出一個托市訉息，唱好樓市，這就是＂＂＂香港物業整體來說，已經有6成沒有按揭，其餘4成借貸亦只不過是按業主買入時按的54%而已了＂＂＂。低裝！ |

我自認英文都好差，尤其日常寫作。 以個人經驗來說(在公也在私)，只要你具有溝通的誠意，鬼佬是不會因此看低你，是看客觀事實。 以英語能力作為判斷事物的標準之一，多見於本地人之間。年輕時會覺得理所當然，工作後越來越多番鬼朋友，才驚覺自己的愚昧。當然，不足的就是要改進。 認同網友的論點--匯豐長年經營專門跟政府打交道的人員，而中資機構則較弱。 |
