3 Methods of task completion

During these 8 weeks, I used my skills and techniques to complete assigned tasks as follows

First of all, I spent the first day at the department of News to get information about translating news So, I obtained background knowledge of many fields After that, I was assigned English news to translate into Vietnamese and vice versa Through the work, I used dictionaries like English – Vietnamese dictionary, Vietnamese – English dictionary, Collocation dictionary, TFlat dictionary, materials about translating skill and visited some websites regarding to topics of the texts

Moreover, I translated texts on my own based on knowledge of translating having

acquired at school When having the uncertainty of some ideas presented in the texts, I searched information and checked collocations on Google at first Then I tried my best to read and comprehend the main ideas the texts Sometimes, I asked my teammates for suggestion

Furthermore, I asked some friends and experienced translators for some advice and tips

to translate news and topics relating to Finance, Economy, Banking, Military and Polity

4 Results of the internship

I successfully completed my mission with 6 units of translated texts (more than 6000 words) in the first period and 2 units of translating texts (more than 2000 words) in the second period of the internship in time

CHAPTER 3: PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES

1 New skills acquired and skills improved

In the first period, I learned a lot of techniques and methods from the supervisor’s

feedbacks when she corrected and edited my translating work

First of all, I needed to look up the dictionary carefully and try my best to translate with

my ability For example, “attend+N” not “attend to+N” Second, it is not easy to

paraphrase sentences from Vietnamese to English Before translating, I should read and understand the meaning, and then summarize and note main ideas and rewrite in English without changing meaning Third, choosing and using sentence structures are very

important to avoid misunderstandings when reading in English Forth, there were

complex Vietnamese sentences and were divided into many parts Each part will be translated into a short English sentence A Vietnamese sentence can contains many the words that seem to be difficult to translate into English, so it can be translated by two or more than two English sentences

Translating required meticulosity and flexibility A translator can use dictionaries and is not allowed to use Google translate

Moreover, to cope with translating news from English to Vietnamese, I had to equip myself an in-depth understanding and more knowledge in the press and many fields such

as economy, education, polity, military and so on During two-month internship, I

encountered a lot of terms in economy, polity, military and finance This urged me to
