The Concordia group talked to local university students at their "English corner" to help students practice their English. To them, English is not just a language, but an opportunity. The university students plan on studying business and engineering. Topics ranged from schooling, weather, geography, television, and politics. The university students told Felicia that they believe America is known for Hollywood, sandwiches, plains in the West, President Obama, and Lady Gaga. They also believe that China tries to copy the United States in television, music, and fashion.
