From the previous vedio, we find that the girl in the vedio say a few English to help her expressing her idea.
For example, 'I mean', ' I'm not talking about the money.' ,'OK,fine.'
From the vedio, we easily find that the girl said these because she wanted to be shown as more high-class.
It's so interseting that what we learnt from the lesson can be easily found from the reality.
Did you try to switch the code or even 'one-word code switching' to show your highly privileged?
You are the only one who know the answer of this question.

Most of the HongKongers use code-switching and one-word code switching in our daily lives as we had been colonized by England for many years.It's habit-forming when we live in a colonial city:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply Natalie.
DeleteYou are right! Historical factor is one of the reasons why Hong Kong people always use 'code-switching'!
