Q: How has Communication from China changed over the years?

When I first met my wife we used email, text messages ,and phone calls with the aid of a phonecard .
then when we moved to Australia and she wanted to stay in touch with friends and family in China QQ was a better option .
These days we just use wechat.
It is so much easier than ten years ago and so much cheaper.

I just talked to my 80 year old mum on wechat video this morning. She has all the grannies back home on it now.

I get more wechat phone calls than standard calls these days.

Wechat rules my life....when I arrive at work or leave I get a notification, work email, pay for taxis, dinner, you name it. My wife even uses it for mahjong bets

Hasn't changed for me. Didn't communicate with people before, don't communicate with people now.

All I do is wait for my death. Should be any day now.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
