2.3 Advantages and disadvantages in practice

 2.3.1 Advantages in the internship

Internships are a great way for university students or anyone considering a career change to obtain valuable work experience

Firstly, I could gain valuable work experiences Interns have the opportunity

to apply acquired knowledge to real work experiences, witnessing firsthand the to-day job duties they can expect to encounter in our chosen field In addition to learning the specialized skills of a particular field, transferable skills such as

day-communication, teamwork, and computer proficiency are also obtained in an

internship, fully preparing interns to enter the workforce upon graduation

Secondly, I also developed and refined skills Interns can learn a lot about our

strengths and weaknesses during an internship period Interns was given useful feedback from supervisors and others who are established in the field, and offer a unique learning opportunity that we may not have again as a working adult Ask questions, observe, and take risks to get the most out of our internship training experience

As an intern, I was surrounded by professionals in the industry It is more than just about earning credit, getting a grade,…; the internship period provides me an opportunity to learn from the people around me by asking questions and acquiring useful knowledge

Last but not least, it was also a transition into a job As far as I know, an

intern who makes a favorable impression could receive an offer down the line when

an opening occurs The interns like us can take an opportunity to be an official staff with a well-paid job as well as a good-working environment as Phu Ben Tea

Company Limited

 2.3.2 Disadvantages in the internship

Fistly, due to lack of office skills, I got some difficulties with how to use thephotocopy machine, printer or some skills when calculating formulas in Excel Therefore, I had to spend time studying how to use them and it wasted a lot of timeand led to inefficiency in work

Secondly, although I have been well-prepared for specialized vocabulary in the tea field, there was still a great number of complicated terminologies in machines, tea producing terms Besides, I was assigned to translate some documents while my knowledge of these sectors was limited I usually got trouble to understand

Vietnamese documents Most of the sentences were quite complicated, so it requiresfor analyzing document carefully

On the other hand, let consider about the financial problems One of the biggest concerns for students these days is their finances Education is expensive enough and many need to find paid employment over the summer in order to offset the cost.Therefore, all of these factors should be considered before choosing an unpaid internship

PART 3: THE DIFFICULTIES IN TRANSLATING LABOR CONTRACT AT PHU BEN TEA COMPANY

3.1 Rationale

Under the Labour Code 2012, a labour contract means an agreement between an employee and an employer on a paid job, working conditions, and rights and obligations

of each party to the labour relationship

Labor contract translation requires intensive and extensive knowledge of laws, atranslator apart from thorough understanding of professional aspects must have goodcommand in exact use of legal terminologies and legal writing style in their translation,and each country should have specific regulations on assessment of translations to ensurethat translated versions are accurate, clearly understood, and transparent in comparisonwith the source text

Thus, it is essential to take into accounts linguistic viewpoints as well as those oflabor contract categories in the translation of documents Importantly, I hope that someextent my study can offer a thorough understanding about terminology in legal text aswell as help company in translation of this field terms

3.2 The roles of labor contract translation at Phu Ben tea company

English is now known as the global language of trade and commerce – as it has been in the past few decades This has affected many aspects of the modern world The English language became known due to colonial expansion, and since then it has become the standard language for all global and official communications – even those with a variety of native languages Now, this expansion continues thanks to the internet and has become a medium through which the majority of businesses do business.

Having an excellent knowledge of English has become a vital aspect for anyemployee’s career if they want to be successful This is especially true for any international students who are seeking better career prospects in an English

speaking country As a result, English is definitely the preferred language in the business community since business communication has gone global and the

majority of business partners do not speak the same native language To meet the demand of manufacturing and business activities, translation is very necessary

As a student majoring in English at Hung Vuong University, I was veryfortunate to have two months and a half to do practice in Phu Ben Tea Company as

a translator The Company is a foreign joint-venture company, so English translationplays a key role in most activities in the Company

However, English language is characterized by distinctive features notcommonly found in everyday English Some of them may be the cause of problems

to the comprehension and translation in term of labor contract translation texts.Therefore, I got many difficulties from this work in the internship time, in which themost difficult is translating labor contract Therefore, in this report I would like topoint out my own difficulties and find out solutions to improve the translation
