Last Sunday, I took part in Written Translation Test of CATTI whose full name is China Accreditation Test for Translators and Interpreters. Frankly speaking, it's not an easy test I can handle with. But two months ago, I signed my name on the test and considered it as a challenge on the road of my learning English Dream beauty pro.
Like most of Chinese students, I began to learn English after stepping into middle school. On that time, I regarded English as a subject to achieve academic goals. Gradually, I started to realize that the meaning of mastering different languages is not just limited to realistic benefits when I came back from one-month academic summer camp in Britain. You never know how nervous I am when I walked on the street of an alien country. While wondering around, I even couldn't help doubting if I was dreaming. I still remember the first day when I ordered in a local restaurant, I stared at the menu tightly and forgot to answer waitress's question "any ice in coke?" Funny and awkward things happened throughout the unforgettable days which had altered my perspectives to English learning. Through communications with local students and visits to various of Britain's typical natural and cultural resources, my knowledge towards English as well as British culture entered a new stage. Meanwhile, each conversation also made it possible for me to deliver updated information about China to foreigner friends and I was really delighted to read from their faces their surprise and excitement to the great changes in every aspect of China. From then on, I came to a conclusion that learning another language not only provides you the opportunity to get close to another culture and what other people are thinking about outside your land, but also offers you an international stage on which you can play as a representative of the culture you are living on Dream beauty pro.
I hope I will be able to make substantial contributions to the culture exchange in my spare time some day. To be qualified as a translator is the first step of the scheme Dream beauty pro.
