Thanks a million, bethstar. I found that maybe I am not that "business centered" type of person. Apparently I enjoy interacting with students and teaching them more than earning money,(as well as co-working with foreign teachers who try to express themselves with poor Chinese from time to time XD) thus I think it's more suitable for my personality to be an English teacher in a normal elementary school;there're difficulties though. but I will do my best to be. But somehow, I don't know why, for you guys sharing that I realize, maybe we shouldn't regard learning English as a tool or means to achieve goals of various reasons; perhaps the real world look upon people who have great English ability with a realistic perpective, such as they've got to get higher salary or chances to get a better job. Anyway, still, I deeply believe that, the key, the most crucial factor to keep learning English or knowledge of any kind, is "passion". My next step will be, study hard to get a certificate, as it's necessary to apply for schools, as it is a qualification to join a graduate test, (and also as it is a way to expel my laziness toward the "real studying" ,ha) GOGOGO I will try! ※ 引述《bethstar (伯利恆之星)》之銘言： : I think you should get a master degree. : If possible, maybe going abroad will be better. : There are too many people who speak english well. : Not to tell all those foriengers can easily get your job with higher pay. : What makes you look better than them? : It's very hard to tell you teach better.
