A Talk

I didn't want to cook at noon, so I ate lunch with my father and his close friend Ye. Ye is one of the classmates of my father, whose age is close to my father's. He is a deputy headmaster of a primary school in town. Furthermore, his daught just gratuated from normal school and has passed the exam to go to work as a authorized teacher in a public middle school. Teaching in public school or working in government system is regarded as an iron bowl in China, which means that it can't be broken easily, it is a stable job forever if she doesn't violate any rules. So, there are many youngs chasing for them. And once someone manages to do, she/he will be envious.
Ye talked about the youngs he knew, some of them had succeed in teaching in public school, some failed, the others even didn't have the thought to try. He criticized those who didn't want to try or tried too late. "They never know the cruelty of the society until they were hit by failure, they are too naive," said Ye.
I asked him that whether the society was so strict with the youngs that they never got chance and time to make mistake. Before we went to college, we were asked to concentrate on studying only, therefore we knew nothing about the society lives. As a result, we didn't have enough knowledge of the connection between majors in university and relevant jobs, so we would make mistakes in choosing our major. What was worse, it is very hard to change our majors in most of the university, and we seldomly get any work taining during the university.
He said, you could't regard the society was equal, no, it wasn't. What you needed to do was accepting the truth and try your best to do anything.
Then I became quiet. The lunch tasted bad, I didn't want to waste my energy.

I didn't want to cook at noon, so I ate lunch with my father and his close friend Ye.

Ye is one of the classmates of my father, whosemy father's classmates. The two agre is close to my father'sin age.

I agree with the other reviewer, this is more natural:

He is a deputy headmaster of a primary school in town.

Furthermore, his daughter just gratduated from normal school and has passed the exam to go to work as an authorized teacher in a public middle school.

If the next word starts with a vowel, "a" becomes "an"

It might be helpful to explain what "normal" school is. I think in this case you would usually say the school level, like "high school" or "college"

He criticized those who didn't want to try or tried too late.

"They never knoew the cruelty of the society until they were hit by failure, they are too naive," said Ye.

Since "were" is past tense, the start of the sentence should be past tense (know -> knew)

As a result, we didn't have enough knowledge of the connection between majors in university and relevant jobs, so we would make mistakes in choosing our major.

Then I became quiet.

I think the best translation would be to say that she earned her degree in teaching. I've found that it's hard to write about higher education in foreign languages since education systems are different in every country. Even within English-speaking countries, there are language barriers (e.g., "high school" in the US is "secondary school" in the UK).

What you wrote is technically correct, but this is more natural:
Ye is one of my father's classmates. The two are close in age.

He is athe deputy headmaster of a primary school in town.

Unless there are multiple deputy headmasters, in which case what you wrote would be right.

Furthermore, his daughter just gratuated from normal school and has passed the exam to go to work as an authorized teacher in a public middle school.

Teaching in public school or working in the government system is regarded as an iron bowl in China, which means that it can't be broken easily, i. It is a stable job forever if she doesn't violate any rules.

So, there are many youngs chasing for themThat's why many young people are eager to get these jobs.

And once someone manages to do so, she/ or she will be envioused.

Ye talked about the youngs people he knew, s. Some of them had succeeded in teaching in public school, some failed, theand others even didn't have the thoughteven think to try.

Not quite sure what you mean here–maybe leave a comment and I could try to help.

What you needed to do was accepting the truth and try your best to do anysomething.
