Mark encouraged prospective students to join the program to gain similar opportunities for their future careers. 

He encouraged prospective students to join the English-Chinese program, despite the challenges that come with learning something new. He assured them that the benefits were immense and that the department could potentially become independent from the English department if the number of students increased.

To prospective students, she advised them to prepare for the challenges ahead and be ready to work hard, as the program would require "blood, sweat, and tears." As for the English-Chinese family's support for new students, they warmly welcomed and guided freshmen students on what to expect in the program, offering tips and advice to help them navigate their college days seamlessly and smoothly.
