I'm not a native English speaker. Can I teach English in China?
Native English speakers are preferred but not required as long as
you have a good command of the English language and do not
have much of a foreign accent. There are many teachers in
China who were not born in but educated in English speaking
countries with not much of a foreign accent. There are many ESL/EFL teachers in China who did not educate in English speaking countries but have taught very well.
Business cards
If someone hands you a business card, always take it with
two hands.
If you hand a business card to someone, make sure the
writing faces the person to whom you are giving the card.
Do not immediately put the business card away in your coat
or wallet, keep it visible and in your hand.
If you are seated at a table, keep the business card face up
on the table.
