I want to become an interpreter. It is an interesting and useful profession. I enjoy studying English and want to learn more about English-speaking countries. I like reading books about different foreign countries and cultures. My favourite writers are William Shakespeare, Jack London and Mark Twain.
Foreign people think and act differently. Their way of life differs greatly from ours. Those distant countries are mysterious. I wonder how those people live.
I want to become an interpreter because I want to meet as many people of different nationalities ... Читать дальше »
