I Have a Dream
People have dreamed about their future from the time when they were young. Someone wants to be a doctor, designer, lawyer, writer or nurse. When I was young, I also wanted to be a doctor to cure diseases or be a president to govern Korea. Then as I get older, I always have a goal, an interpreter. Especially, I want to work for U.N. or the international conferences. Because the more I study English, the more it fascinated me. Nowadays, I am confused whether or not I can do it, but I have several abilities for an interpreter.
First of all, English will help me to be an interpreter. To interpret something, language is basically essential. After the United States became the superpower, English also became a necessary language all over the world to communicate with people in other countries. I have a great interest in English and have studied it for quite a long time, so I am now majoring in English. For these reasons, it makes me possible to get one step closer to my goal.
In fact, my first major is French, so it will also be my strong point to become an interpreter. Many countries use it as a native language or an official language because of French colonial rule in the past. For this reason, UN and international conferences also use it as an official language. Today, mostly, anyone studies and speaks well English, but the number of people who can speak French is few. Using French was to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's advantage to be elected to the post, for example.
In addition, I am good at concentrating and memorizing. During the conversation between people, an interpreter should listen carefully to what they say and memorize to interpret the contents of communications for others. Therefore, concentration and memorization are the important factors to interpret. Whenever I do something, I really focus on it. Also, if I once see or hear something, I seldom forget it, so these abilities will be advantages to be an interpreter.
In conclusion, English and French skills that I have will help me to be an interpreter. My abilities to concentrate and memorize will also be helpful. Even though I cannot speak fluently not only English but also French yet, I am still learning. As the saying goes, "No one is too old to learn." I will continuously do my best, and I believe that I will be an interpreter someday like a dream come true.

1. your main point seemed to be several abilities you have to make your dream come true as an interpreter.
ReplyDelete2. When you chose French as your major, did you know the fact that UN uses French as an official language? I would like to know! lol!!
3. I particularly liked example and quotation such as Ban Ki-moon(I did not know he is goot at French as well!) and "No one is~"
4. I think it is better leaving out "After the United States~people in other countries" Instead, it will be good if you write something related directly to your dream.
5. Everything is understandable.
