What is the foreign language course like in your country？

I'm curious about the foreign language course in the other countries. How do you learn a foreign language when you are in primary school? How did the teacher teach you? Was the course interesting?

And what do you think is the characteristics of the child in your country? Can they behave as the teacher requires?

- -///// It's only about half a day left for me to cram for the TEM-8 (Test for English Majors,Grade 8). I'm kind of desperate right now in that i have flunked almost all the model test i've done before. Many of my classmates are focusing on memorizing the literature, linguistics and general knowledge of several important western countries, which i think is really arduous. I mean how on the earth can i recognize all the writers (and their works and who was awarded nobel prize) in America and Britian while i may not be able to remember those in my own country. = =. I remember a friend once gave a ERROR CORRECTION (one type of question that we should do during the exam. i'm not sure whether is should be called a QUESTION or...?) to a foreign friend and ask him to do it. He spent like more than half an hour to finish it which we are supposed to finish with 15mins. Four in ten was wrong. And it does written in English. Then i start thinking no wonder i always get one or two points on that question. And now, after complaining, i should better keep working on the exercises or i'll really have a tough time tomorrow morning.
