Since my internship is starting soon, I need to set realistic goals towards my improvement of knowledge of the English language. This will help me enjoy my internship experience at its fullest.
This internship will be a great opportunity for me to improve many English skills. My main goals during this experience are to enrich my vocabulary and to improve my writing skills. I will focus on learning new grammar structures and ways to express myself with more accurate vocabulary words and more complex sentences.

I will focus on learning new grammar structures and ways to express myself with more accurate vocabulary words and more complex sentences.
In order to achieve these goals, I will have to use many strategies that will help me learn easily and successfully. One of these strategies is "Guessing". Since I will be doing a lot of translation, I will encounter many new words in the original text. I will then try to guess the meaning of these words looking at their context before searching them in a dictionary. This will help me learn new words. I will also try to make correlations between my knowledge of French and English (Look for patterns in a language) and finally I will use the "Accept ambiguity" strategy so that I don't get stuck in front of structures or sentences I don't know, but that I learn from them.
In addition, I have met my intership host. We had the chance to discuss the goals and the main objective of e-KSS's organization and what I will bring to it. My internship host explained to me that my volunteer work will be helpful for them because they want to attract people's attention even more than they do now. With a website in French, they will be able to connect to more people. My host seems really interested in this internship and in helping me to do the best job I can, so it motivates me even more. I can't wait to start working.
I think this internship will be a good experience for me. What concerns me the most is that the website I have to translate is written in a complex language, therefore I'm scared I wont understand everything. But I think this will help me learn even more. I'm really looking forward to start learning.
