I think there are two types of jobs in China. One is that you work for yourself (to be a boss) or you work for a private enterprise. The other is that you work for the government. People who work for the government are still divided into two types: one is called civil servants and another is called staff of public institutions. I belong to the last type.

My department is responsible for the training of agriculture and farmers in my district. My work is not too busy, and my salary is also not too high, but it's enough to live my life, I think.

I don't think the clothing store makes me a lot of money, which only provides my younger sister a job.

Actually, decades later, I ran business again. The reason was that I didn't want to live poor life conditions for lifelong, l have to change it. This time I made a lot of money, and I bought several apartments, fancy cars and shops. I was so delighted during that period and also, I worked hard too. But as a member of the national staff, I am not allowed to run any business according to some strict rules released by my country. To avoid any trouble caused by running a business, I had to get divorced and all the property was transferred to my wife-that was the only safe way.

Now, it seems I don't have the desire to run businesses again unless I am desperately in need of money. But I do like running business because I think it is a cause that is fair and you can fully show your talent in it. I have experience of running a business and I also have a lawyer's qualification, so I still think no matter what I do, I can do it well because I always have the confidence to make money.

When we were young, we had strong bodies even though we didn't do any exercise. But when people are over their fifties, it seems their body gradually gets worse and worse. So I think I have to pay more attention to my health, so I decided to ride.

Before, I exercised by walking, but in recent years my legs often feel hurt when I walk a little long. However, riding a bicycle is not like that. Your legs don't need to suffer a lot and the riding speed is moderate, so I can see beautiful scenery while cycling.

Yes, I am still working. The retirement age for men in China is sixty, so there are still six years left before my retirement.

The bike your friend has is called 折叠自行车 in Chinese. I did check this kind of bicycle before I decided to buy one, but in the end I gave up because it's too small and I didn't feel comfortable riding it.

Yes, I learned about the collapse of a building in Miami, Florida, at the very beginning. The first thought when I heard the news was that "thank goddess, you already left there". I was very sad to learn that news, so I pray for people who are dead or injured in that accident. I don't want to hear about this kind of news anymore and I wish people all over the world a happy and peaceful life. God bless them.

I think there are two types of jobs in China.

One is that you work for yourself (to be a boss) or you work for a private enterprise.

The other is that you work for the government.

People who work for the government are still divided into two types: one is called civil servants and another is called staff of public institutions.

"the" (since there are only two that you mentioned, we can say "the" since it was mentioned before). "Another" would be talking about something that you didn't mention yet.

I belong to the last type.

My department is responsible for the training of agricultureal workers and farmers in my district.

My work is not too busy, and my salary is also not too high, but it's enough to live my life, I think.

I don't think the clothing store makesI worked at made me a lot of money, which only provides. This is the store my younger sister a jobworks at.

Actually, decades lafter the clothing store, I ran a business again.

The reason was that I didn't want to live poor lifewith poor conditions for lifelong, lmy whole life, so I haved to change itwork.

Thisat time I made a lot of money, and I bought several apartments, fancy cars, and shops.

I was so delightedhappy during that period, and also, I worked hard too, as well.

"delighted" is quite old and more formal

But as a member of the national staff, I am not allowed to run any business according to some strict rules releasedt by my country.

To avoid any trouble caused by running a business, I had to get divorced and all the property was transferred to my wife-that was the only safe way.

Now, it seems I don't really have the desire to run a businesses again unless I am desperately in need of money.

But I do like running business because I think it is a cause that is fair and that you can fully show your talent in it.

I have experience of running a business and I also have a lawyer's qualification, so I still think no matter what I do, I can do it well because I always have the confidence to make money.

When we we're young, we hadve strong bodies even though we didon't do any exercise.

If you want to talk about people in general, it's good to use the present tense here. Otherwise, if you use the past tense, it sounds like you are talking about "we" as in me and you specifically.

But when people are over their fifties, it seems their body gradually gets worse and worse.

So I think I have to pay more attention to my health, soand I decided to ride a bike.

"check out" = "try out" = "try for a little bit"

"check" sounds more like you just saw it online or in a store
