My Job (我的工作) Posted by on Jul 8, 2012 in Uncategorized, Vocabulary

Get your dictionaries out, because it’s time for another all Chinese post here on the blog! In case you missed them, we’ve already covered some useful topics, such as: introducing yourself, my day, my family, and my city. Today, I’ll tell you about my job:

我的工作是教大人英文。我在北京工作。我一毕业,就开始这个工作。现在我在一个美国公司工作。在中国我们有很多中心。我们的中心都在大城市。在北京我们有十五个中心。我是兼职职员。我每个星期有二十五个小时的工作。周一,周五,和周六我半天工作,周四和周日全天工作。周二和周三休息。我觉得我的工作不太忙。

半天的时候我有三节课。全天的时候有六节课。我每天有一个小时准备上课的材料。我们有很多学生 - 有的是中国人,有的是韩国人,还有的是欧洲人。他们先用电脑自己学习,然后来中心上课。他们也可以随便来中心参观我们的英语角。有时候我们开个晚会,比如:万圣节,圣诞节,或者新年。我觉得我的工作很好玩,也很舒服。
