Is there anyone out there who is from Non-English speaking background and performed well in English Advanced? I am in my preliminary year and planning to take the English Advanced. I am not sure whether I can perform well in the Literature part of it. So if you know someone who don't speak English at home but performed well in English Advanced, please let me know. It will certainly help me to decide whether I made a right decision to take English Advanced or not. I really appreciated your help. Thank you.

I'm sure there are many many from non-English speaking background who do extremely well in their English. Just because you speak Mandarin or Hindi, Korean, Vietnamese , Urdu or Hokkien at home doesn't mean your English is handicapped. In fact I find so many spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes by those who speak English as their own language. So what!

But please read (well-written material, good books, old & new) widely, and, critically.
