The article I have read has the purpose of telling the reader that Chinese learners have an issue with English pronunciation. The main cause why they are hard to pronounce English, the first possibility is mental. Some of them shy. They do not dare to speak publicly or practice it. In addition to shy, they also have a worry if his friend will laugh at him if made a mistake. This incident is common and very often found in the Asian region. But another possibility that is more supportive difficulties in speaking English is the pronunciation of the mother tongue in China is very thick. 

Apart from those problems, some Chinese students also have an easy to learn English pronunciation. there are levels where young learners more easily master the pronunciation of English. Because young learners can learn the voice more effective than the adult age.

So, this article is that Chinese learners should pay more attention to learning English because of the disturbance they experience (mother tongue). phonetics and phonology should also be further studied to help adjust the pronunciation to be more pronounced in English pronunciation.
