You know how at Macaroni Grill they play Italian lessons instead of music in the bathroom? My school plays English lessons over the outdoor public address system every morning, campus wide. Sometimes they are lessons about working for a western company, or how to find a job after graduation. They seem to be geared toward Business English. I always wonder who decides what lessons to play. At other times of the day they play music or dialogue in Chinese. I always hope the Chinese broadcast is not some kind of evacuation order. So far, so good.
In public shopping areas music is also played over the public address system. No one seems phased by this in the least. I always try to imagine what would happen if in Times Square, the government suddenly started playing music a couple of times a day. Or Chinese lessons.
