Q: Several questions about the US

A guy from Bronx told me that Bronx is too dangerous for me to visit. Really? Seem like Bronx has a bad reputation for the crime.

I read travel tips from a Chinese on baidu saying to not drink alone or hang out with just the girls to drink in the bar, because the men will think you are waitting for men to come to you. I doubt it. Any truth in it?

From the Chinese travel tips, he/she also saies not not take the subway at very late night in NYC because it is too dangerous. Really?

Yes.

I think girls have a ‘Girls night out’ thing and one of it’s main rules is no guys allowed. But that might just be a thing in Middle-class America. I don’t know about what the girls do in Manhattan. But yeah, a girl alone in a bar looks to most guys like she wants to get approached.

I know the subway used to be kinda dangerous. Thugs and such,,, but is it still? Even in 2017? I haven’t been to NYC in ages.

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
