A: Tell me about someone who has an interesting job

When I had a baby, I was interested in education. I bought many books about teaching babies. How to build their good skills How to help them develop good skills. I think kindergartens’ teacher is an interesting job.

Though the job is very tired tiring sometimes, but I think you can play with children everyday maybe it’s interesting.

I think every grade has their own advantages. I think grade one or grade two need to be taken care of by us, you need to take care of their lives. How to eat, how to sleep by themselves. When children are in grade 3 or grade 4, you need to teach them more things. You need to teach their … because children have their own ideas, you need to teach them how to know the world, how to have a good personality.

A: Do you think it is easy to find a job in this country?

I think you need to learn some lessons to pass the test to be a teacher. I don’t want to do my original work, because my original work was very very busy, I cannot take care of my home and my family. Now maybe I’m mother, I’m not interested in my original work, so maybe I need to find some work I like. Now because I am a mother, I am no longer interested in my original career, so maybe I need to find some work that is more suitable for me.
