Toastmasters is definitely a not-for-profit organisation.
Run as local clubs with unpaid officers who give a lot of their time to help other members, as well as regular members just helping each other.
Good, no excellent, books.
How to teach English : Jeremy Harmer
Lots of practical tips, and instruction
You study a unit then there is a task. Some tasks use DVD and you learn how to critique the part of a lesson n the DVD.
This was pre-reading for my CELTA course (I had already been teaching a few years and I learned a lot.
This is also an Ebook on Taobao, but it does not have a DVD.
Learning Teaching : Jim Scrivener
Another excellent book for independent learning.

Film making might be difficult. It may be seen as Journalism, which needs a different visa; 'J' I think.
Even on an 'F' you are working illegally.
One way around this. Set up a company back home, needs about 300 pounds in UK. Then get a company to invite you over, and bill them. As technically you will be coming here to do business and not be on a payroll here, you are legal. You will have to do a tax return back home, but you never show a profit.
That is how you can do it legally.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
Governor: Provincial highway bathrooms China's worst
发布者They know how to flush, they just don't want to because the toilet is a dirty place. Self fulfilling cycle. But hey! it then becomes someone elses problem.
Governor: Provincial highway bathrooms China's worst
发布者They will be high anyway.
Jinghong farmer trampled to death by elephant
发布者The problem is not the elephants. Sadly the authorities will see the opposite.
Massive financial center announced for Wujiaba
发布者I think the airport mentioned here will be for heliport and small private planes of the corporate variety.
This may be linked up to the plans for the area east of Dianchi Lu and north of Guangfu Lu that was previously earmarked for new financial district.
BUT at least Shanghai Tongji know what they are doing. It just depends on whether the local gumint will listen to their advice.
Report: Yunnan bonds shaky
发布者The non protected thing was the issue with HuaXia Bank scandal. It was likened to a Ponzi. People lost huge amounts and it killed the market.
CMB is big enough to have the assets to cover any potential losses, and has decided that the only way to have a wealth management product that sells is to guarantee the principle. To not honor the promise would be damaging to the CMB brand and would cost them more money than swallowing the loss.
IMHO. Because of the nature of CMB's core business, and their place in the market, they can be trusted. Unlike smaller banks like HuaXia.
