To make up for the shortcomings of the old-age services industry would require large investments in manpower and financial resources. However, for private nursing homes, while the initial investment is large, the profits are very small. And if salaries for nursing personnel are not improved, naturally no one can recruit workers for the the aged care industry.

各位同学好！来，首先我们揉土，让湿度均匀一些，等会儿在拉胚机上才不容易歪斜。我们先把这块泥放在拉胚器的正中间，双手沾水，这样能起润滑的作用。手势只要稳定不晃动，随着转盘的转动，马上就能变成正圆形了。

Hello class! Come, first rub the clay to spread the moisture evenly. In this way the clay will be less likely to warp on the pottery wheel in a bit. First we put the lump of clay in the exact centre of the pottery wheel, then dip both hand in water to lubricate them. Your hands should stay stable, without shaking, as the disk spins the clay should immediately take on a circular shape.

是的，其实汤早点喝更好，润肠暖胃。那接下来呢，就上主菜，一般那是肉或者鱼。之后就上配菜，一般是沙拉。然后还有一道甜品，蛋糕啊，水果啊，冰激凌啊之类的。最后一道是上饮料，咖啡或者茶。

That's right. It's actually better to eat the soup earlier, because it lubricates the intestines and warms up the stomach. Then next served is the main dish. Generally it is meat or fish. And then a side dish is served, usually salad. Afterwards, there is also a dessert like cake, fruit, ice cream, and things like that. The last course is a beverage, like coffee or tea.
