Hello! My name is Alex. What's your name, please?

Hello! My name is Maki. I'm an English teacher of a junior high school. But I'm still a beginning teacher. So I have to learn a lot of things every day. How about you? What do you do, Alex?

Nice to meet you Maki! How are you? I'm a teacher too but I teach ESL. What do you like to do in your free time?

Nice to meet you, too! I'm really good, thank you. You are also an English teacher, aren't you? I like to study English in my free time. Because I'd like to communicate my assistant English teacher, Paul, more smoothly. I can' t speak English fluently yet, so I'm not able to communicate with him sufficiently.

Well since I'll be here for quite sometime, I won't mind helping you. I do love the English language. So I'm guessing you spend most of your free time learning the language then?
#good

Yes. Because I like to study English, I can enjoy learning it. But I cannot take enough time to study recently, because my job as an English teacher of a junior high school is very hard. I can't have much free time.

You do a lot of work, right? Normally, teachers are always busy. They don't have much time for themselves but always paper works. Anyway, are you still single?
#good

No, I'm married. My husband is a public office worker. And we have one daughter. She is nine years old. I always work late because I do a lot of work. So my husband goes to the daynurse for school children to pick up our daughter.

Wow. That is so impressive. I admire people who work so hard to raise a family. How long has your husband been a public office worker?
#miss

He has worked as a public office worker for 19 years. But he isn't a desk worker. He is blue-collar, a gabage collecter. So when he finish his work, he rarely works overtime. I appriciate for it very much because my friends who work in double income have much trouble with sharing of housework and the child care with their spouses.
