China Vacation
China
Americans considering teaching English in China should check that their contracts specify the maximum number of classroom hours per day and per week, maximum workdays per week, and vacation periods. Americans teaching in China, particularly at newly established private secondary schools and private English training centers, have often found their employers unable or unwilling to honor contract terms or to assist in obtaining Chinese employment-based visas and other permits required for foreigners to teach lawfully in China. Prospective teachers should always ask for references from other foreign teachers who have completed a contract teaching term and have returned to their home country. Prospective teachers should never come to China without first receiving the proper "Z" or work visa from the Chinese Embassy. Pro ... [Read More]

And in terms of the subjects or topics of the reports, the students often have amazingly brilliant ideas. If at the beginning of a new term, student A reports about his winter vacation, then the coming finals may lead to student B’s talk about her stress and tension over exams and her expectations for working hard to get good results. If student C presents a VOA news story on Bosnia-Herzegovina, it is not surprising to hear student D report the next day on the recent development of the Fourth Women’s Conference of the World held in Beijing. ...

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: Agriculture Secretary Delegation April 26 Briefing

USTR Praises Breakthrough on WTO Doha Agenda at APEC Ministerial - US Department of State
AMBASSADOR PORTMAN: I wish we could be eating U.S. beef tonight. Because I believe it's safe. My children eat it everyday, as do millions of Americans and thousands of Koreans who are in the United States on vacation or on business. So, restoring the beef trade to Korea is a top priority of mine. I will say that there are other APEC markets that are also closed. One, of course, is Japan, and another is China. For the past seventeen months, almost a year and a half, we have worked very closely with the Korean government to provide answers to all questions that they have and all concerns that they have regarding food safety and animal health. As you know, just recently, the OIE issued their guidelines, indicating that based on scientific evidence, U.S. beef is safe, and that the beef trade should resume. So, I'm hopeful that we can see an opening of the market. I think it's good for the U.S. cattle producers. I think it's also good for Korean consumers, and this is ... [Read More]
