The rebuttal and concession

Some people who disagree with my argument can argue that the reason why students are struggling with English composition is just because they are not native speakers.It is right to some extent. It is a natural thing that we have trouble in writing and speaking extraneously in English because we are Korean, not English-speaking-pupils.  However, there are something that opponents neglect. They do not consider the time that Korean spend for English education. Although we are not native speakers, if we spend such a tremendous time and energy for it, we should be able to confidently make at least a sentence in English. This situation that most Korean people who have a degree averagely are good at Grammar and Reading Comprehension but they can not write just a sentence in English is very strange.
