Happy Teacher's Day!

        I've been a happy students because of you. You loved me and helped me lot in every ways. May you all be healthy and happy now and always!

        You were my teacher.

        You are my teachers now.

        You'll be my teachers forever.

         Today I heard the programme "East and West again". To my surprise,a very prestigious interpreter was invited as a guest and talked a lot of his expericences about working as a translator. It got me indeed.

         Being a translator or an interpreter can be hard. One has to know a bit of everything. They also have to be very competent at both Chinese and English or any languages you are about to translate from or into. That can be really difficult.

        It's hard but it's possible to do. I'll never give up my dream of becoming a good interpreter.

         It was 8:30 in the morning. I was still sleeping. Suddenly, the sound of telephone ringing woke me up but I didn't get up. My mom answered the phone. It was mine. 

         "Hello,Cynthia! This is John from Radio Tianjin."

         "Hi! John!" I tried hard to cover my sleepy voice.

         "We will make a programme freaturing college life this noon. Are you free today?Could you come to the studio as a guest?"

         "Sure! Great! Thank you so much!" I was too excited to felt sleepy.

         "Then we'll meet at the gate at around 12:30 am,ok?"

         "Ok.Deal!" I get up at once,still excited.

         The programme is called "East and West". I've always been a loyal listener since it's very helpful to English learning. I always phoning in and participate. They always invited some foreign guests on weekend programme. They talked about different topics each time. I enjoy listening very much but I didn't expect to be invited to the studio one day though I've been dreaming of it. I felt so hornoured since I'm the first listener they've ever invited.

         However,this wasn't my first time being in a studio of TPBS( Tianjin People's Broadcasting Station). Seven years ago, I was also invited as a guest of a programme about Children's English. It was such long ago that I felt a bit nervous on arriving at the small and cool studio.

         My mom listened to the programme at home. Seven years ago, she recorded my broadcasting. Today,she didn't have to since they will send me a CD next week. That will be wonderful.

         I think everything goes pretty smoothly today. We talked a lot about university life. I'm very hornoured to have got to know the other two guests.One is a foreign professor teaching translation at NanKai University and the other a very talented junior at TFSU.

         During the programme, there was an caller. She was also a loyal listener of this programme.She felt stressed-out since she will soon take part in the college entrance exam. I comforted and encouraged her in the air. She was very thankful and said my voice was very beautiful. Wow! I was very happy to hear her sweet compliment !
