Q: Where to go to get pants altered?

I got a pair of pants I got from home and need the leg altered. Where can I send it for alteration (in Beijing) and how much would you normally pay for it? In Canada, it is CAD$10 which is about RMB 60.

Hong Kong has best tailors. They never charge me for anything.

Normally (at least in the city I live at), when I buy new pants and need the length of the legs altered, I take them to my local laundry place, and have them cut them to my length, then wash.

I pay for cutting it and washing it under 15 yuan, takes two days.

I found a shopping place in Beijing that does alterations. The price is cheap and you can get it done that day. I'm not sure if you've ever been to the shopping area in Beijing the last one you'd probably see if you were to take a taxi to the airport. You can get it done there they have a little shop so you just have to look for it, but it's there.

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
