Students getting confused by the poster
Students said that looking at this poster, it seems that the liquor shop operator, in order to attract the attention of the customers, wants to tell through this poster that one can speak English fluently after drinking liquor. This will have a negative impact on the youth and students. After seeing this poster at first glance, it seems that it is a poster of some Spoken English Coaching Centre.
