[00:00.54] Sarah: So John, you're an English teacher now. Is that right?

[00:03.54] John: Yes. I've been an English teacher for six years now.

[00:07.54] Sarah: Do you always want to be an English teacher?

[00:11.54] John: Well actually, recently, I've been thinking about changing my job.

[00:19.29] Sarah: Oh?

[00:20.54] John: Yes. I have been studying math and science.

[00:25.29] Sarah: Oh.

[00:26.54] John: I'm learning a lot more about math these days.

[00:31.54] I hope in the future I can be a math teacher.

[00:35.29] Sarah: That sounds interesting.

[00:38.04] John: Yes, I think so. I think math is important because if we can understand math, we learn new ways to think about problems.

[00:48.29] Sarah: What age student do you want to teach math to?

[00:53.29] John: I think I would enjoy teaching junior high school students.

[01:01.04] Sarah: So you said you're studying math now.

[01:04.79] John: That's right.

[01:06.54] Sarah: How do you do it? Do you study online?

[01:08.29] John: That's exactly right. I study online from various websites and these websites connect you to free online courses from real universities around the world.

[01:24.79] Sarah: Oh wow.

[01:26.04] John: Yeah. So I signed up for a free algebra class from a university in the United States.

[01:35.54] Sarah: Will you get a degree when you finish?

[01:39.29] John: Well you can. For every course you finish you can get a certificate that says you passed this course.

[01:48.29] And if you sign up for a series of courses, you can get a certification in a field like math or science.

[01:59.29] Sarah: Oh really? And it's all online?

[02:03.04] John: Yeah. And it's not only math or science, you can choose any field you want.

[02:16.04] I've been thinking of studying Spanish language there and you can study computer programming or history or law.

[02:24.79] Sarah: Oh, interesting. Maybe I'll try it.

[02:25.29] John: You should. They have different types of classes.

[02:27.54] You can study by yourself by watching videos or you can even have an interactive class with a real teacher and you can meet through video chat.

[02:39.04] Sarah: Wow. Hey, thank you.

[02:42.54] John: Yeah, you should try this opportunity.

[02:43.54] Sarah: I will.
