What I learned from these tasks:

I did a lot of designing with tasks of making posters and this required a lot ofcreativity I learned to film and did a lot of editing for videos Through thesetasks, I have improved my software skills a lot

I was asked to work in pairs and groups for those tasks most of the time, so Ihave learned a lot from the other interns Therefore I have been able to improve

my teamwork skills

I was given a lot of opportunities to give presentations I have got helpfulfeedback and advice from my teacher and instructor on how to improve mypresentation skills

I have learned to write workshop plan, letter, and project proposal I have done alot of research about how to write these documents I was able to completethese writing tasks before the deadlines I have also learned to deal withdeadlines and new tasks

I have learned to write a CV My instructor pointed out mistakes in my CV andhelped me to correct them

It was an exhilarating experience to visit Phan Nam Farm, I have learned a lotfrom my interpretation at the farm I have learned more technical terms inagriculture and have also learned communication skills.

II MY EXPERIENCE WITH TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION TASKS

My main role at the department was to translate and interpret I learned totranslate different types of documents from projects, plans to magazines I had myskills of interpretation improved significantly When working on my translationtasks, I have had to learn to format a lot of administrative documents I have alsobeen able to practice working with software tools through editing videos, creatingcontent, designing posters that I had not done a lot at university

There were so many specialized vocabulary words in the field of agriculture andadministration I did not know, so it took me so much time to do the tasks.Translation tasks also required me to put on a lot of focus so that I could get thetasks finished before deadline These tasks trained me to become more agile,focused and resilient

Ms Trang has many experiences in translating and interpreting in the field ofagriculture As an intern, I found ways to learn from her as much possible Shegave me lots of feedback on my translation and interpretation tasks The first task

of translation was a bit challenging because I got to translate administrative

documents and they were so new to me However, under

, I eventually got all of my translation tasks completed

In addition, I was also given many opportunities to practice interpreting Iparticipated in interpreting presentations, and tours to Phan Nam Farm and all wasgreat experiences I met a lot of difficulties and obstacles during my performance ofinterpretation tasks; for example, at first I was not able to memorize muchinformation at once in a short amount of time, so I asked the speaker to repeat whatthey had just said for many times; I just made the same mistakes again and again,which was considered unprofessional After a few times practicing interpreting, Iwas able to correct those mistakes and have gained so much confidence with myinterpretation I have also enhanced my knowledge in English as I had to learn a lot

of technical terms about agriculture to finish the tasks and learn other related skillssuch as interpersonal, communication and software skills
