a chance
|
this early day i got a phone from my elder classmate, she asked me to take a part job of temprery translation within 2 hours as she was busy doing other translation tasks. i was excited for that news and hurried to there. about 8:36 she called me and said me getting there 9:00.it's horrified emergent.
also, it needed a long time to arrive there as the long distance.then i was too too late, surely terrible sorry. luckly the manager was so kind that let me go on what they had talked about(a foreigner, tall and white and a manager with black dress were sitting around the table).
firstly i did not clear what they talked about, and in some opinions i doubted that if i misunderstood their meanings. more nervous made me speak stammer and slowly.
finally i recgonised that the questions the manager required me to ask the foreigner were answered by foreigner before i sit there,which made foreigner confused and upset,even a little anger .
so have a pause,i had to make sure what they had communicated before i got there. then i pleased the manager to present his thoughts and aims to me, ok, having listened to what he told me,i knew what i should do,then everything came smoothly, meanwhile my sense of shaking and uncomforty went down......
from this chance i found that my listening ability still is not good, some of their words i did not really know.
more vacobulary and more practise,the more the better....

- What's your career plan? an English interpreter?
I feel a little regret for not choose English as my major,after almost 4 years' study ,i become finally aware that English is my favorite subject .I will not get bored if I learn English all day,instead ,It will make me fuifilled.So I envy you!I also wonder that In your school,what fields does you English majors step into after graduation?I know English majors have a lot of space to choose their occupation,such as becomeing a civil servant or enter some foreign companies .

- ydliu88: What's your career plan? an English interpreter?well, pick up a foreign company is a best choice for anyone of english major. i want to put my english into practical using, one important matter is i can prove myself and learn sth else beyond my refined knowledge for improving skills as well as get experiences.

in fact i'm wondering which type of job i can take on ,because english language has became a worldwide spreading communication viechle,large majority of staffs can say and know how to use some words to express their business ambitions,it's not so good for our english major, lots of positions of cooperations need skillfull employees to do other practical job beside you can speak english,even you can speak it very well.so ,when you start to find job or you are busying finding job,you must learn any other skills on the way.basically you have to know how to do any other jobs within your ability.of cause,it's neccesary for us to find what we can do or not,what's our advantagements and dis-,then strengthen it,do well. maybe you will have a hard life period...
but i always hoping i can find a job related with my job,i love english. meanwhile i feel regret that i have not learn it very well.i need to spare much more energy,time,efforts to learnit better.
what's your situation now? student? worker?

- I'm a senior student .I 'm considering whether to find a job now or not. If I can't find a good job, I 'll go further study .I also want to find job in a foreign company or some nice position in a domestic company where I could both use my skills of my major and my English advantage.

If I can't find a good job, I 'll go further study .I also want to find jobyeah,wish we both can find a good job.actually i'd like to study longer in school as the fierce competion in this cruel society..i'm feared by this world where contains lots of unhappiness that is beyond my exceptation. but when you find yourself having reached some age and you must be mature to adapt this realistic world,have to face lots of difficulties by your ability,by yourself...we are compelled to handle those unpredict challedges. if you are aware of those matters, pressure and responsibility force you to go go go.even we will be exhausted by them without any spare energy to do any other things. to that point maybe we will have some extraordinary thoughts and attitude.....tiered.....

- Yes，there is always a gap between reality and our expectation.What we can only do is trying our best to narrow the gap ,though a lot of compromise and hardship we may experience during the process.So if we want to achieve sth and never be beat down ,keeping a positive attitude towards life really counts.
