Have you ever heard of the a simultaneous interpreter? If you are interested in this filed, you may know Choi Jung Hwa, who is the first simultaneous interpreter in Korea. She is considered as the best in language. Through her success story, we could find out what we need to get success in this area.

To become the best interpreter, a person must make a ceaseless efforts in practicing language. She has never been to abroad when she was young. Compared with other students, she had difficulty in intuition of language. I also had also similar feeling like this. It's hard for me to choose which word I use between 'peer' and 'glance' when I use it for 'look'. However a friend of mine who has been abroad knew it naturally. So she made environment as she was in foreign country. To overcome this problem, She woke up in foreign language broadcast, read news in their language. All of her life consisted of language ,which she wanted to conquer, the French. By doing this, she could overcome the time that other students who are born in abroad get naturally. To say a simple word 'mom', baby practiced it more than a thousand times. Interpreter also need to go through this simple truth that applying for baby to get what they want.

The other factor to succeed in language is to prepare more than your capacity. After getting the fluent speaking ability, you have to know what is your translation's subject. Because knowing the translation's story makes the better translation. Interpreter sometimes have to explain the abstruse technicalities like science. If interpreter have knowledge in that field, it could be easy translation for both speaker and audience. Even though Choi Jung Hwa has been the best interpreter ,she made other movie director surprised when she had to interpret works related with movie. She knew all of thing from movie's scenario to extras' name.

In conclusion to get success in language as interpreter, there are two factors. First, practice hard in mastering up language. Second, prepare and know subjects and its background knowledge which you will translate. Those two factor seems common truth, but it's hard for putting in action. Interpreter seems a glamorous job. However, like Graceful swan which had to swim hard under the water , to get that brilliant success also needs lots of efforts

The Formula of Success             B.C. Forbes once said, "The man who has done his level best…is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure." Personally, I do not appreciate the word success. More often than not, it is associated with fortune, fame, competition, the ability to one-up people around you...all the things that I do not necessarily put high on a pedestal. People in general tend to view end- results as a barometer of success. When they visualize this concept, they often think of high profile figures such as Steven Jobs and Bill Gates and their life altering inventions. Certainly, they are men of success, but this general perception that people have about this word is a bit disturbing and upsetting to me, because I am under the impression that this make lives of ordinary people seem like good-for-nothing, dull, mundane set routine spent mostly wishing to be in the shoes of those big names that make the covers of numerous magazines. Are people leading ordinary lives all failures? Should we classify only those whose name will go down the history as a success? We all know that the answer is a big fat no! My own definition of success is a bit different. In my view, successful people are not only those in the limelight, but also the ones who lead a full-filling life for themselves as well as for others and feel privileged for whatever they have. Having said that, the ingredients in the formula of success is the willingness to do his or her own part in society and better yet for the world and the ability to count blessings in life.          One ingredient in the formula of success is doing one's share of contributing to society. People that I consider to be successful do not center their interest only around themselves. They are not trapped in their own world. Not only do they strive to know themselves, they also make great efforts to learn about those around them. Moreover, they always try to be sensitive to other people's needs, thus certainly not those who are piling more and more food on their plates. They share what they have with the world hoping that their small acts of kindness, care and affection will make a difference in the world someday. Most importantly, they know this will bring them contentment and happiness and make them feel worth  like a million bucks. For a case in point, I am interested in fair trade, so I buy fair trade chocolate and coffee on regular basis. I am fully aware that buying fair trade products can help farmers in the third-world countries lead decent lives, weed out child labor and ensure the right to education for children. Another ingredient in the formula of success is the positive attitude towards life. People who are in the right direction of a successful life have an eye for discerning privileges among ordinary things that others might take for granted. Some of them may consider going to school, taking classes spending their time in a library absorbing themselves in books to be a privilege. Others probably view having enough money to bring home the bacon as a blessing. Some others may think of having family members and close friends who believe in them and support them through thick and thin as a privilege. Without this kind of positive attitude, there is no way you can fill up the gap inside of us that keeps getting bigger by the minute making your life undesirable even if you drive a SUV and live in a gigantic mansion.         Just like Albert Einstein said, I wish, with all my heart, to become an individual who strive "not  to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." I believe that making the world a better place to live through small actions such as buying fair trade products on my part and a sense of gratitude towards life will make me a person of value and I call it success. I hope to have the courage and the unwavering determination to become the person  I believe I am meant to be while considering these two ingredients. Twenty or thirty years down the road, it should be me who will classify my life as a success or a failure, certainly not others.

Second draft comparison contrast essay   Two Books that enriched My Soul   Do you have a favorite author whose soul is akin to your own? Finding books that are enchanting and inspiring and speak to you soul can be an exciting journey. Sometimes, you experience moments of epiphany through those books that could lead you to some kind of enlightenment or open up your mind to a whole different world. l feel really ashamed to tell you that I am not an avid reader. Reading is definitely not on my to-do list whenever I have free time. So when pressed to choose my favorite author, it is quite easy to pick one, since I do not have that many. My all-time favorite author is Paulo Coelho. I have read several books of his and, to be quite frank, not liked all of them, but there are two novels that left me thinking about the meaning of life and the world around me. The Alchemist and Veronica decides to die are probably the two most read books of this best- selling novelist, which are also my all time favorites. The two are quite different stories, but I find them to have the same underlining theme.        Every element of the two stories is quite different. On a side note, my English tutor back in high school gave me the book the Alchemist as a farewell gift during our last session, and I bought the latter with my own money when I was a junior in college. The Alchemist is set in Andalusia and the other in Slovenia. The main character of the Alchemist is an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who sets out on a journey in a quest of a treasure hidden in the Pyramids. Whereas Veronika decides to die is a story about a 20something lady who seems to have everything that life could offer, yet fails to find meaning in life and decide to kill herself. The former is about a journey of the boy his home in Spain to North Africa from beginning to end. In contrast, the latter narrates the experiences and events that Veronika encounters in a mental asylum after her failed suicide attempt. Another difference is the length. The Alchemist is 167pages long and VDD is 210 pages long. Lastly, the structure of the two novels is also different. VDD consist of several chapters, whereas the Alchemist is made up of only two parts.        The two books, although quite different in so many aspects, are both life-affirming novels. The way I see it, the theme of the stories are awareness of life. Throughout the stories, the author tries to teach us a life- lesson that each and every one of us has our own path in life that leads to our true self and should be aware of it every minute of our lives. This is what makes our ordinary, mundane life that is made up primarily of dull, set routine, anxieties and conformity reinforced by society worth a try. Living the life of others and trying to get your hands on something that is not there for you, means that you are dead in spirit, if not in body. The minute we realize that we have the most precious jewel in our own hands, within ourselves, we start to develop a genuine passion for living and discovering who we truly are instead of letting days just flow by, wearing a mask of somebody else that we are not.      It is quite fascinating to discover the common theme buried in the two marvelous books that have quite different stories. On the one hand, I really liked the exotic settings of the Alchemist. On the other hand, I also enjoyed reading the vivid descriptions of the inside of the mental hospital in Veronika decides to die  which is what made me enveloped in this novel from cover to cover. As I turned pages of these two amazing, moving and inspiring novels, I found myself slowly transforming into a new person, the one who was waiting within me to shine through me. I welcomed her with a warm smile.

To provide a successful tutoring

 

 

 

    No one can deny that tutoring is the most popular and favorite part time job among university students. The earning is pretty high than any other part time jobs and one can get money at the first time. Besides, by teaching student one can also study a lot so it's very beneficial. As tutoring is very popular, it's not only hard to find student but also keep doing it. To keep tutoring then what is needed?

    The most important and basic thing is preparation. Some ignores this especially when they teach young students like elementary or middle school students. However, at any moment they can be in real trouble and so was I. When I first started my English private lesson, I thought the textbook is too easy and didn't prepare anything. Though, there was an English word that I saw for the first time in my life. I broke into a cold sweat and my student looked at me strangely. And then she asked me the meaning but I couldn't answer it.

    The second one is pretending undaunted. Sometimes student can solve the problem or take word quiz much sooner than I expected. In that case, it's important to not panic. Just act as if you already knew he or she will finish it soon. Then some idea will be come up you're your head and naturally class will be flow. Besides, this could make tutor seems reliable.

    Tutoring is not only a lucrative part time job but a very worthwhile job and I have taught four students in recent two years. While I do tutoring, I experienced many difficulties and could make my know-how. I believe that these two are critical in keep maintaining tutoring job.
