Our instructor sent us 15 videos to translate from English to Vietnamese in weeks, videos per week When we received the exercise, we divided into small groups to it Firstly, our team downloaded the video to listen for two times to understand the main idea, then we listened to it and took note of the difficult words, after we noted the difficult words, we divided each person into a section However, I could not hear much I felt very disappointed but I never gave up I continued to listen and take notes many times, with my own effort to complete the first step Secondly, I translated roughly into Vietnamese; I used the dictionary to look up some words that I not know, of course, I would have a hard time choosing the right words to translate In the end, my team and I met to discuss and complete the homework completely During the time we worked together, we developed the ability to work in groups Sometimes we are very tired and frustrated, but with great effort, we have done it as best we can Then we translate it together and send to Miss Ngoc the best translation of the video After the first translation was over, my supervisor and I met after each week She gave comments and pointed out mistakes that we needed to fix in order to improve the translation Those are useful tips for us during our internship here After each translation is finished, we assigned to the videos in the next translation Of course, each video will have increasing difficulty Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 13 Internship Report Instructor: Nguyen Thi Anh Guong ADB TO SUPPORT ASIA-PACIFIC

nearly 10 billion dollars in emergency financial aid by December to countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines where the virus continues to spread Recipients also included Thailand and the Maldives where the pandemic has hit tourism hard Asakawa says the ADB will come up with new measures if that’s necessary to encourage the stable economic growth in the region Ngân Hàng Phát Triển Châu Á (ADB) hỗ trợ tài cho nước phát triển để thực chương trình tiêm vaccine phịng dịch Covid-19 Chủ tịch ADB Asakawa Masatsugu cho biết, cần khoản đầu tư lớn cho hệ thống vận chuyển quản lý vắc-xin Ông

ADB đưa biện pháp cần thiết để khuyến khích tăng trưởng kinh tế bền vững khu vực In the first translation, we received a response from her She sent us blue text to correct the article for us In yellow so we noticed how capitalization and spelling errors and words need to be written Her feedback was very helpful Moreover, I learned some new words I feel my translation skills improve over two weeks, I have learned more words as well as knowledge in different fields Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 14 Internship Report Instructor: Nguyen Thi Anh Guong The third and fourth weeks In two weeks, my task was with translating from Vietnamese to English When I receive the assignment, I will it individually first then meet to discuss and complete the exercise In the end, I send it to my instructor Because I learned some experience from the first two weeks that I had practicing I found that my homework easily completed in some ways I translated from Vietnamese to English and English to Vietnamese That is why it helps me a lot in improving my translation skills Next, I prepared a 5-minute lecture to present with Ms Ngoc in the next meeting I talked about my best friend to her In the end, she made a few comments, she said that my phonetics and speaking skills are not that good and I need practice to improve even more Although, I was a bit disappointed about myself, but with her comment I promised to try to learn my knowledge and improve my speaking skills The feedback of the translation from Mss Ngoc showed below (the red words that I corrected and should note) Khả thưởng thức đẹp đến từ lịng cảm kích Khi bạn rộng mở lịng chấp nhận điều kì diệu sống (ngay điều tốt xấu xảy ra), lòng biết ơn cho bạn vẻ đẹp, hay chí bạn tạo Sáng tạo cách để nói lời “cảm ơn” với ta có sống A sense of beauty comes from a place of appreciation When you are open to the wonder of life (in both the good and the bad things that happen), you can draw on gratitude to recognize beauty and even create it yourself Being creative is a way of saying “thanks” for all you have in life Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 15 Internship Report Instructor: Nguyen Thi Anh Guong Nói câu “cảm ơn" thói quen lịch mà hầu hết người học từ sớm, thật truyền lịng biết ơn đến người khác cần nhiều ý chí nỗ lực Bạn thể cảm nhận không? Hãy dành thời gian để nghĩ hành động thể lời cảm ơn chúng ghi nhận cảm kích  Saying “thank you” is a polite habit most people acquire at an early age, but really conveying your gratitude to someone requires more thought and effort Can you show how you feel? Take the time to think of acts that communicate your thanks- they will be remembered and appreciated Four last weeks: In weeks 5-6, I received five English videos, similar to the videos from the first weeks Although I have been practicing for weeks and had some experience, I struggled quite a bit because the video was long and hard, I could not hear it exactly, I had to listen to it many times and had to encourage each other to try together Finally, I got it done perfectly I had a meeting in week The supervisor would comment on my translation and answer questions during our listening process In the end, she took me to tour the ATV’ studios as well as see how she actually works I feel very excited and like the work environment here Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 16 Internship Report picture 3: Satellite room and equipment Instructor: Nguyen Thi Anh Guong picture 4: working place of Satellite team picture 5: film studio picture 6: film studio After giving a few comments on my translation, she assigned the task for week with English videos and a personal recording file I could not hear well I tried to listen so many times, recorded difficult words and started to hear each sentence from the new words that I took down I finished and sent it to my supervisor with the read file My supervisor exchanged and gave her comments to me by mail When I and other trainees completed the individual assignments, my manager assigned a new task to choose any topic for group presentations in minutes We presented it to her in the next meeting In the seventh week, we met and had group presentations with her She gave some very helpful comments and then, our speaking skills improved After that, she took us to the recording studio to record any passage she gave Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 17 Internship Report II Instructor: Nguyen Thi Anh Guong Advantages, disadvantages and solution during internship Advantages: During my practice course, An Giang Radio-Television Station created very satisfactory conditions and environment Whenever I needed help, the staffs were always there and assisted me with a very enthusiastic attitude Employees here also were friendly and devoted to their work It was a good place for every senior of Foreign Language Department to show their ability Therefore, to practice work related English skills would become a big advantage for me in this internship Besides that, the help of Ms Ngoc as well as the News Translation Team motivated me during eight weeks of the internship She shared to me her valuable experiences as well as how to work effectively In a short time, her enthusiasm contributed to the success of eight-week period of probation for a trainee group at ATV Disadvantages: This was the first time I have exposed to practical work, so I faced some difficulties Firstly, my translation and interpretation skills were not good in the first week Secondly, I gave content in many different fields that I did not have much knowledge Thirdly, the volume of the videos was small, so it was so hard to listen to them Lastly, I did not have too many technical words, making it difficult for me to translate Solution: I solved my problems in many ways Firstly, I improved my listening skills through English news and foreign programs every day Secondly, I tried to read books and newspapers in both English and Vietnamese to learn and improve the Student: Nguyen Thi Yen Nhu Page 18
