I really love my job because I enjoy     1    (work) with small kids. I think my work is important. However, there was a time when I     2    (think) I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t     3     excellent student and in my final term, I found I wasn’t the type to have a career. I then found     4    (me) a job. Looking after two little girls wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in. I was getting     5    (extreme) tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the     6    (child).

One Sunday, I met Megan,     7     used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification.

Kilns (窑) had to burn day and night in Jingdezhen, a city in Jiangxi Province of southeastern China, to meet demand from around the globe.

Today, though demand is much     1     (low), people are making porcelain (瓷器)     2     same way they have for hundreds of years, with Jingdezhen’s old masters still     3     (offer) thanks to the kiln gods.

Meanwhile, across town, creative new craftspeople are bringing new ideas into the art and new life to the once       4     (factory) and villages. It’s fair to say that Jingdezhen people live and breathe porcelain, but they aren’t doing it alone.

“Jingdezhen is more than a historical town. The old and new are mixed     5     (perfect) here.” says Hu Chunxiao, a local artist     6     family has worked in the industry for generations. The     7     (tradition) and modern exist in harmony, which makes     8     one of the most interesting towns in China for travel.

Despite being a center of porcelain for 1,700 years, Jingdezhen is never short of great natural scenes. The surrounding area is famous for rich     9     (hide) scenery—mountains, streams, farms and forests. It     10       (draw) artists who desire a peaceful life here since the ancient times.
