Now, the first job word we come to, is 'teacher' in Chinese. It is 'lao ***'. Someone may feel
puzzled because 'lao' in Chinese means 'old', but you can see that in this word 'lao' actually
doesn't mean 'old'. It is kind of a prefix that is bound to the second character, '***'.
'***', you can tell, it means 'teacher'. So, 'lao' is just a prefix that is bound to '***'
with no meaning by itself in this word. Now, let's write it again. This is the first part
we need to finish. And a very long left falling stroke, 'lao'. And '***', the left radical,
and then the right part. 'Lao ***' for 'teacher'.
