answer: #Person2# describes the experience of teaching English in Taiwan to Eliza. #Person2# taught children in English institutes and says kids in Taiwan study after school. #Person2# thinks it's good for parents in Taiwan to be concerned about children's education, and in contrast, American kids don't study enough. As an English teacher, #Person2# tried to make the lesson as fun as possible.
documents: #Person1#: I heard you were teaching English over there. Tell me about it. Did you like it?
  #Person2#: Oh, yes, it was very interesting.
  #Person1#: What were the schools like?
  #Person2#: Oh, I didn't actually teach in the schools. I taught after school. I taught in English institutes.
  #Person1#: But you taught children, yes?
  #Person2#: Yes. That's right. But children in Taiwan are very different from children in America. At least as far as studying is concerned. Many children in Taiwan go to special institutes after school.
  #Person1#: They actually study after school?
  #Person2#: That's right. After their school day is over, they go to a special institute to study math or English. They are very serious about learning over there.
  #Person1#: Hmm. That sounds pretty oppressive for the kids. Don't they ever relax?
  #Person2#: Of course they do. You know, Eliza, before I went over there I thought the same thing. I thought that maybe kids in Taiwan study too much. But now that I've worked there, and taught them, I feel it is a good thing. Their parents are very concerned about their education. More than American parents are. And that is good. American kids don't study enough.
  #Person1#: Asian cultures value learning very much. I know that.
  #Person2#: So it was interesting for me to see parents very concerned about education. They would come to me after the class and ask how their son or daughter was doing. I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. In America, too many parents don't pay attention.
  #Person1#: But aren't the kids tired out? I mean, they go to school all day, and then they go to school in the evening too.
  #Person2#: As an English teacher, I tried to make the lessons as fun as possible. I tried to have a good time with my classes. The students often enjoyed it. And if the students enjoyed it, they learned more. So it was a good experience.
  #Person1#: Are the kids in Taiwan very obedient?
  #Person2#: That's a stereotype we Americans have. We think that Asian kids are very obedient and quiet. But it's not true. There are plenty of naughty kids too.
  #Person1#: Hmm. I know you taught in Costa Rica also. Which did you like better--Costa Rica or Taiwan?
  #Person2#: I don't know. In Costa Rica, I taught adults. So it was a very different thing. So I really can't compare.
