My friend is a teacher and she wants to teach right. If you are an expert, please answer me with detailed explanation. Thank you!

It's not wrong, and its good that they understand that 3.4kg = 3400g. It's not the best answer though. Perhaps an imperial hangover?

Maybe she can work at a supermarket as cashier, or maybe in a fast food restaurant. These ones are good jobs, Also a chinatown restaurant is good! Why not? Try to work and earn money that's the thing! Not the kind of job... Every Job is helpful.

As an aspiring teacher with experience working with ESL students, playing games can not only be fun but educational as well. Question: dou you know how to speak their language? If so, you're 99.9% there!!! I would suggest you look into websites for ESL activities. Believe me, there are numerous!!! Try activities that have music (music is universal!) make up songs that include their name and try to rhyme it. Sing "Row, row, row your boat" and include hand gestures. Paint pictures of common every day objects and verbally name them in English,(hey, maybe they will name it in Taiwanese!) Play hopscotch or any other kinesthetic activity, that way they work their motor skills. Possibilities are endless!! Use your imagination!

Can I get an FBI clearance from outside USA for Australian immigration purpose?

Can I get an FBI clearance from outside USA for Australian immigration purpose?
I used to live in the USA under a student visa and overstayed there for 2 years. I don’t live in the USA anymore since 4 years ago and now married to an Australian citizen and live in Taiwan. My wife is sponsoring me for my PR in Australia. Can I get the FBI clearance from outside USA for Australian immigration purpose? Is it going to hurt my chance of getting the Australian PR when they find out that I overstayed in the USA?
