Realistic answers to the question in the link mentioned above by @hua052011
1 Why Did You Decide To Become a Teacher?
Could not do business here as I have no connections, so what else is there? And you gotta do something to meet people get paid, get visa, get accommodation. Also, I am cheap.
2 What is your teaching philosophy?
Show up, get paid. Don't go the extra mile for management as this then becomes the baseline. See also answer 8 iv) below.

Laisez faire
4 Describe some methods of "positive reinforcement" that you might use in your classroom.
If you finish this early you can go on a break.
5 Would you describe yourself as a "tough" teacher or an "understanding" teacher? Explain.
Tough. Give some of these little frackers an inch...
6 How would you create a behavior modification for a student with ongoing behavior problems?
Threaten to tell his father, if that does not work, pass the problem over to local staff. If I get it wrong I am in deep doodoo. If local staff get it wrong, who cares?

Leave the bar early.

#1 Don't pee off the management, then appear to comply but keep your own sense of sanity. See also answer 8 iv) above.
14. How to do each Foreign language teacher position task/function?
