Answer:

frictionally; structurally

Step-by-step explanation:

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment which occurs when a person is unemployed between the period between which she leaves her job and finds another one.

Structural unemployment is a type of unemployment which occurs due to the difference in the skills of the workers available in the economy and the skills which are required by the employers.

The skill required here is the ability to speak English and Pei doesn't possess this skill.
