  5. Hi, Matt!
    I'd like to answer the first question.
    I work at a cram school and teach English and Math to junior or high school students.
    It's a little difficult, but very fun for me.
    I think I continue to work there in the future.

    See you next class!

  6. Hello Matt!
    My answer to your first question:
    I'm working part-time in a prep school in my city as a teacher. As I was a high school student I studied there myself. So I could get the job relatively easily :)

    See you!

  7. Hello!

    2.
    My father is a independent gardener, and I sometimes helped him as a part-timer.
    Of course, he gave me some money after work.
    But my job was always just sweeping out the garden after he trimmed the glass or trees.
    It wasn't so much fun.

  8. Hi,Matt!

    I'd like to choose the 1st one.
    I'm working at a cram school, teaching English, Japanese and math. Sometimes, I also teach social studies. It's interesting to teach something. However, I have some problems,too. One of them is talking to mothers...I get so nervous to talk with them because some mothers are so scary, they think about only about them and their kids!! I would NEVER be that kind of mother!! hehe

  9. Hi,Matt!
    I'd like to tell you about my part-time job. I used to work as a English teacher at a cram school. I taught to a third year student in high school. The prepare for the class was so hard that I don't want to do this part-time job... But it was very important experience for me.

  10. Hi,Matt!

    I'd like to answer the 3rd question.
    Someday I'd like to work at Tokyo Dome
    as a "ball-girl".
    Ball-girls help the professional baseball players to play games smoothly, for example, bringing balls to the empires, carrying bats, and so on.
    I like professional baseball and Yomiuri giants very much, so, for me, it'll be a fantastic part-time job!

    See you tomorrow!

  12. Hi Matt!!
    1. I work at Pizza-la famous as a store delivering pizzas. We have two ways to work there. One is to take phones and make pizzas and pastas, another is to deliver them to the customers. I work as a former. I'm not really good at cooking, but I make them with my whole heart. The pizzas of ours are so delicious, so try them!

  13. Hello Matt!
    I would like to answer the 5. question.

    I saw a TV programm about an exhibition in N.Y. You work from 10:00 to 18:00 in a museum. It is for someone who has much time, and can sleep from 10:00 to 18:00 in the museum. This action is a part of the exhibition. The concept was "feeling a real person". If you visit to the museum, you don't expect to see the real person as a display. So, that is the point of this job/exhibition. I find it very funny. Because a woman who worked there as a sleeping-person, told on the TV "that was actually very hard nothing to do except to sleep."
    Many people worked there as a display... interesting.

    see you tomorrow!

  16. Hi, Matt!

    I would like to answer the second question.
    I used to work as a teacher at juku in Chiba.
    I teached English and math to many junior high school students.
    However, I quited it because I had to move into Tama.
    I liked the job, so I felt very sad when I teached to my last student...
    I wanted to work as a teacher again someday.

    Seeyou next!

  17. Hi, Matt

    I'll answer to the first question.
    I work at convenience store near from my house. I've been working there about a year and a half now. It's not so interesting job, and busy too. But people I work with are very nice, so I like to work there even though I don't like the job.

    I'd like to answer the 1st question.
    My part-time-job is to mark the tests called“Shinken-moshi”.(I think everyone did take this tests when you were in high school.)However,this job is too simple for me to do.I don't mean that I am a smart person.Everyone can do this:D Just sitting in front of the computer is boring for me, so I'm thinking of starting an another job.

  24. Hi,Matt.
    I'd like to answer the 1st question.

    I work at a pizza store.
    My store delivers pizzas or a customer go to the store and take out pizzas. They can't eat them at the store.
    I cut vegitables, prepare dough and make pizza.
    I'm not charge of delivery because I don't have a driver's licence...
    Newly made and hot pizzas looks like very appetizing!
    We can sometimes eat hot pizzas which are different from customer's order and can't be sold. It tastes good!

    See you next class!
