5.What kind of treatment interpreters can get.
Interpreters always have a good salary.They usually have 5 thousand yuan a day.But you know, although they can earn so much a day for one conference, the have to prepare for it about a whole week.Besides, they don’t always have chances to interpret conferences.Unlike teachers who always have 20 claes every week, their job is not regular.So they always earn 300 to 500 thousand yuan a year.But as you know, their job is such a big responsibility, so they are always having a lot of stre every day.
6.In the future, which university you want to go to learn language.
If i had a chance, i would like to go to Beijing Foreign Studies University, because it is the most famous language study university in China.I know a lot of famous people who had to study there, such as Yang Lan, He Jiong and so on.I really hope that I could hope that I could study in this university.

I want to be an interpreter, because a translator just translates languages which are written on books, but an interpreter interprets orally.So, I also think to be an interpreter is more difficult than to be a translator.
9.What difficulties you think you can meet when you interpret.
1) If the speaker spoke too quickly or not clearly, I couldn\'t interpret.

not find suitable Chinese words quickly.

There are still a few disadvantages.

time for it.
