Reaction:

When I was child, I want to be a translator but after the year, I thought that is difficult. Because translator needs to good skill about grammar, writing and vocabulary so on. I always hate grammar and writing. When I was in Japan, I saw the news. I always admire the translator. They were talking fluently and simple. If I take a long time to get good skills of these, it is too late to become translator. Now I am studying in here, I thought I need to study more and more. It is good for me to improve the English skill. When I go back to Japan, I have to find the job. In Japan, there are not good situation of society. So I’m wondering about getting a job or not. Now it is hard thing to decide for me. What do you think about getting the job now? I think it is not good time to get job. However I want to get job someday
