エアー先生
普段は土曜日やらないのですが、エアー先生が空いていてこれはレッスンを受けなければと(誰かキャンセルしたんですよ)さっそく受講。
先生にずっと先生のスケージュールチェックしていたんですよというと、忙しいのとスケジュールを変えたのよと。今度は週末になるそうでがっかり。週末は滅多に取らないのですが、エアー先生が予約可能な時は取ることにしますよ。

72% of Hong Kong domestic workers don't like the term 'helper'
今回は私の興味のある話題でもありいろいろ話が止まらなかったのですが、エアー先生はきちんとタイプしてくれて、ちゃんとした答えにしてくれます。ありがたいことです。
非正規雇用の話もしたりして、収入も安定してないと結婚できなかったりするんだよねとか25分間濃密な時間でした。

 TERMS:
1. DEGRADING- causing a loss of self-respect; humiliating.
 SUMMARY:
 People who work in HongKong prefer to be called "domestic worker" to "domestic helper". For them, the sound of the latter is degrading. But some said that the latter term is okay as long as you have a harmonious relationship with your employer.
 OPINION:
 I sometimes call them as "domestic helper", and I sometimes mention "domestic worker". But the first one is more common than the latter. But we need to change our minds because in the future, we'll be needing domestic workers.
 QUESTIONS:
1. Do you agree that the term "domestic helper" is okay as long as you have a good relationship with your employer?
 - I think it is okay as long they don't mind both terms.
 2. What kind of jobs you consider degrading?
 - The jobs that we consider degrading are being caregiver, janitor, and being a temporary worker. Japanese labor system is different since we are pressured to find a job immediately after graduating.
 3. What do you think is one of the solutions to avoid discrimination?
 - We need to go abroad and meet people.
