Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I' m not a football commentator (评论员), though --just an English teacher in Japan.
I came to Japan two years ago, and didn' t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it' s best to teach, in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for tile nightlife factor. But I' d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I' m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule (日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are reluctant to take time off -- even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

　　工资谈论世界杯是一项伟大的工作。我不是一个足球评论员(评论员),尽管——只是一名英语老师在日本。
　　我来到日本两年前,不知以为我会留下来,但是日本有影响你。人们通常都比他们住在这里。我认为最好的教育,在一个更大的城市,那里有其他外国人混在一起,而不是一个小镇的英语老师经常抱怨感觉象金鱼碗里。许多人愿意住在东京,当然,瓷砖的夜生活的因素。但是我认为对于一般的生活品质,既不能太大或太小,像札幌在我住的地方,是较好的选择。
　　我教英语,这意味着我暗暗的就是我自己的老板。如果你想要全身心地投入到私人教学,这是很值得做一个外语教学的课程,因为你的功课要做得更好。私立教育的问题是如何找到学生,我花了一年的时间安排(建立)的私人日程表,于是我开始在学校兼职教学。
　　我大部分的外国朋友在这里做全职工作的大英语会话的学校。薪水很好,但你是否可以节省金钱的多少取决于外出旅行,你在这里。
　　学校不愿意花时间——甚至是教师的门票或England-Argentina游戏都放了一天假。
