Q: What is a good gift to buy a Chinese Mother-In-Law?

She's 86 years old and very traditional I believe...except for accepting me as one of her son-in-laws. She does not live in a major city in China and i dont want to offend her, and I would ask my wife...but i want to take other initiative this year to also surprise my wife.

What sort of things does she do daily? I know she cooks...get her some cutlery or some pots and pans she will use those everyday and that can remind her of you, but just make sure you get the good quality type.

My first thought was to suggest a basket of fruits, but then I thought there is a possibility some of the fruits may not be to her liking.  Then I came up with what I think will earn you a few points, a "red envelope".  You can buy one for around 1 Rmb, go to bank and get some new bills, and place them inside.  Then give it to her, telling her that it  is to buy something she always wanted but never could have, and it is your way of thanking her for raising such a wonderful daughter, your wife.

Good luck, partner, hope it does work.

Im with you Family is the most important thing to most of us so keep opening the door for your wife and the other ladies show great respect and gets browny points just be carefull with the fruit basket thing as a pear can be a way of telling the reciver its time to leave this place on earth best wishes

My mother in law is 60. She has a computer online but couldn't send e-mail or shop taobao because she doesn't know how to type pinyin. A character recognizing USB writing pad fixed that.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
