Speaking exercise

I want to go further to study at ECMU. I need more time to prepare for my examination. My former colleague told me they’re doing very well. They really want me to go there, they talk to me probably once a week and help me with my decision. Nothing changed, a little bit change in salary. The only thing I think is important is to pass the exam at the end of the year.

what are your priorities when you look for a job?

The most important one to get self-development. I’m a teacher, my teaching experience is very significant in my own career development. If the company can help me and give me more chances, I can be more confident in teaching. Even if I change another job in the future, I will not change my career, i will also be an English teacher.

It’s best to combine what you are good at with what you are interested in. For now, I think interest is not the most important factor.

Revised

I want to continue my post-graduation degree and study at ECNU. I need more time to prepare for my examination. My former colleague told me they’re doing very well with their new company. They really want me to go there/join them, they talked to me probably once a week and helped me with my decision. I have a bit of salary increase for the new position. The only important thing I think is important is to pass the exam at the end of the year.

what are your priorities when you look for a job?

The most important factor for me is to improve my teaching skills. I’m a teacher, my teaching experience is very crucial in my own career development. If the company can help me and give me more opportunities, I will be more confident in teaching. Even if I change a job in the future, I will remain in the education industry, i will also be an English teacher. 

It’s best to combine what you are good at with what you are interested in. For now, I think my sole interest is the most important factor.
