Obviously, the reasons people choose to come to China in order to teach English varies from person to person, male to female, and from different age groups to different age groups.

If we were to suggest a few underlying similarities in teachers' reasonings for coming to China to teach, one would be to experience the culture and lifestyle here in China . When we refer to culture, we mean the different people, places, traditions and foods etc.

Another reason would be to obtain teaching experience. China is an extremely good place in which to do this, as the conditions under which a teacher can teach, live and work are extremely good when compared to other countries.

The end goal is to be able to speak to a level that allows Chinese people to be able to speak to and listen and understand you as a native fluent English speaker. Chinese people, and in particular students, are well aware of the fact that English is now the language by which we communicate internationally.

These students are quite excellent at writing, reading and grammar, however they seriously lack speaking ability as their curriculums have neglected the oral or speaking component of English for many years. Now they are, through the employment of foreign teachers, placing a greater emphasis on speaking ability. After all, it is the most important component of any language.

Most schools in China have boarders to some extent; as most of the Chinese population live and work in the 'countryside’, the best students must board in city schools to obtain a better education. The number of boarders in most schools amounts to, in general, 20-30% of the student population. They are accommodated in separate buildings away from teachers housing.

In winter the weather is quite cold, with an average daily temperature of approximately 4-6 degrees. It remains that way until mid-February. At which point the weather gradually warms up until we average beautiful spring days of approximately 20 degrees.  This lasts until the start to mid-May.

It continues to warm until we are in the midst of summer and the temperature is quite hot averaging 28-30 degrees; summer extends until mid-September. The temperature gradually decreases into autumn, which has temperatures much like spring and continues through to winter when it begins to get cold at the start of December.

This obviously varies from region to region.

The stated official language of China is Mandarin, which is used in the majority of the country. Cantonese is only used in the south of China .
