I here take the opportunity to convey my warmest congratulations to 21st Century English Language Teaching Review for her 15th birthday. Over this period of time the paper has helped millions of young men and women in this country to better their English command, to exchange ideas about language and to establish friendship.
As a long-time reader of the Review and indeed the big paper China Daily, I have benefitted much in my English language teaching work as well as in the publication of the series of New Standard English of which I have been editor-in-chief for more than 15 years.
Therefore, I here convey my warmest gratitude to the Review and my sincerest wishes that the Review will enjoy ever greater successes in the coming years!
