Group: NB Topic: Our Hopes for Our Future Careers Spokesperson: Yang Li

A millionaire said “You can afford to lose 100,000 dollars; you can not afford to lose your dream.” Fortunately, the whole group keep their dreams and are determined to stick by(to?) them.

According to our groups’ opinions, most of them hope to get a job which is related to this course, such as translator and simultaneous interpreter; however, one of them wants to look for a job in hotel management. Although they possess different dreams, they do have a dream to be motivated to finish the course successfully, acquire a lot of knowledge and make their life full and colourful. Now let me introduce our groups' opinion, as follows:

One member in our group hopes to be a translator. He tells us three reasons why he would like to be engaged in this work. First of all, as the globalisation (=?), to be a translator provides him with more opportunities in [the developed country =?]. For example, most of the companies in China are eager to widen their projects and become international, which needs the translator to be an intermediary to transfer their meaning and promote the communication between them. Another is that to be a translator can make him know the different countries’ cultures and histories more deeply. The last one is that to be a translator will enlarge his range of knowledge. He gives an example relating to medical material: if he needs to translate some medicines or medical books, he must read more information about medical knowledge.

Another member would love to be a simultaneous interpreter as her best future career, because, firstly, she loves its lifestyle, being busy at work for a few days and then spending several days on enjoying her life freely. Secondly, she is good at facing all kinds of challenges and pressures which can make her excited and fulfil her work efficiently. Finally, she has full confidence in doing this job and [has been being =?] well trained in language skills.

The last member wants to be engaged in one job in hotel management, for she is affected by her mother, who is a general manager in ShiJi Hotel. Therefore, she hopes she can also provide the customers with beautiful, comfortable, convenient and satisfying places so as to let them have a little rest and reduce their tiredness a whole day; and even make them feel alive in their own family.

In conclusion, although we have different hopes for our future careers: to be a translator; to be a simultaneous interpreter and to be a hotel manager, all of us will do our utmost to fulfil our dreams.
