Interesting modal there. I would prefer the use of "will" rather than "can" Sad


Looking at the advertisement, it seems to me that it was written by a non-native speaker. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but if they couldn't be bothered to have it proof-read by a native or competent English speaker, that's not a good sign.

I mean, take a look at this line:

So do I take it you have to go into class dressed as a clown... or something like that?

for me

an offer is a specific amount not a range

3000 is an offer 4000is an offer

but 3000 to 4000 is not an offer

4000 is okay I would never work in Saudi for 3000
It is just not enough to put up with the heat and lack of female interaction and alcohol

I can make 4000 teaching high school in the US
or 2500 teaching in Vietnam or Thailand at the best schools

you can easily make over 3000 in Japan your first year
and over 4000 your second year and 5000 your third


I think close to 4000 is the minimum you should accept in Saudi
but some may accept

If my offer turned out to be 3000 on my real contract, I would opt out after 3 months
