Disadvantages Besides those advantages, I also encountered many difficulties during my practice With basic knowledge of English, I not have enough knowledge to complete the translation text in agriculture and need Ms Nguyen Minh Trang to guide us with specialized vocabulary Besides, during the reporting process, mispronouncing is timeconsuming and because of the lack of practical experience is doing a lot of work could not be completed on time Thankfully, she understood and sympathized to give us more time Experience The eight weeks of my internship was a great opportunity for me to gain more experience I realized that if I wanted to become an interpreter in the future, in addition to my basic knowledge of English, I need to learn a lot about a major in which I would be working

very important in my future PART C: CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS This section aims to summarize the results of my internship in eight weeks and propose some recommendations to improve the quality of

short, the internship at An Giang DARD is a good opportunity for me to gain more knowledge and experience Practicing gives me a lot of motivation to practice in work environment So I can find out my strengths and weaknesses to continue working on my strengths and find ways to overcome weaknesses I believe this internship is also an important part of my resume when I apply for a job in the future II SUGGESTIONS For the Internship Agency The An Giang DARD created the best conditions for the internship However, English language students not have much knowledge of agriculture as well as knowledge of writing plans or proposing projects So, before students can their jobs, the internship agencies can guide or give them examples to the job well For An Giang University and Faculty of Foreign Languages In order to have better and effective future internships, An Giang University and the Faculty of Foreign Languages should let students know more about the internship site, what they have to when they come to the internship agency This helps students to be more stable in psychology as well as equipping them with basic knowledge in the field they are intern In addition, it is advisable to help students orient their future work to find a suitable internship to help the internship be most effective 16 Internship Report Instructor: Ms Nguyen Thi Xuan Hue For English-majored Students For a successful internship, here are some suggestions for foreign language students who want to practice at An Giang DARD First, students should orient their future careers in order to find a suitable internship and prepare basic knowledge, especially in the agricultural field During the internship, they should focus on English in the agricultural field to gain more knowledge as well as learn more soft skills They have to practice translation more, from the simplest sentences They also need to learn how to write plans, projects, and reports You can contact your instructor if you are having
