So how do we correct "The question is..."? Use "What I want to say is ...", OK?

No. I think you misunderstood him. He meant that, it is not wrong to say "the question is...", but if you express one meaning in same words repeatedly, it is sort of uncomfortable to the listener.

I found it is very difficult for me to talk my Chinese colleagues in English.For the person I mentioned, I often lead her to an empty office and explain things to her in Chinese. Some other colleagues are unhappy at this, but I ignore their unhappiness because I am in power..............

Just because she often says "the question is..."?

Not only for that....She has been in USA for more than 10 years and have worked as a programmer for more than 6 years, but I found she has great difficulties in understanding computer things in English. (She has no problem in understanding everyday English. She can even make some very good jokes in English).

I suggest you give her warnings and some deadline to improve her skills. Otherwise .... These kind of people may just had a java crush course and look for a job. They will be your pain in the neck.

I think everyone who finishes the course of data structure should undertand "recursive", espesially if he/she learns it in the States.

Why can you not be a little more tolerant? People are different. Even if there are someone more like dump than you, it is not a wise way for you to scorn them.
