I saw a documentary some time ago about a teacher English in HongKong. He earns enough to drive a Lamborghini. So we'ld probably better move.

It's a company that investigates if their staff is violating their rules, so they send a group of investigators and check on them.

Hi all, sorry to jump into the discussion so late. Here are some more ideas for diversification that are discussed on my book 'Diversification in the Language Industry' (I'll list them if that's ok?).

Well: the fact is that lots of Chinese are under high pressure to get a university degree. To be admitted at universtiy demands succeeding in an entrance exam. So almost all of the students of the teacher are teenagers wanting to succeed those entrance examens.
