    1. Why do you think that American and British teachers only will help students improve their fluency?

  2. because they are from Britain or America.(or i mean people leaving there)..
    because i wouldn't want to have, for example,Chinese person or teacher helping me . the reason is that they are never able to have a real British or American accent.
