A person who is fluent in a foreign language can easily work as an interpreter. Эссе

[dasha16]

Our modern world needs interpreters everywhere. It is very actual profession nowadays. And of course, such profession needs knowledge of foreign languages. A person must be fluent in foreign languages. But is it enough for this career?

In my personal opinion, perfect knowledge of any language is not enough condition for work as interpreter. Firstly, such kind of activity needs special skills, for example, literary and parallel translation, which we can get only at universities. The second point for my opinion is diploma of the qualified interpreter. Almost no one employer does give you a chance to work as interpreter without it, because they want to see their employees as literate specialists.

On the other hand, some people claim that to work as interpreter is possible, if you are fluent in a foreign language. They say such person has all qualities that are required by this profession: listening, reading, speaking and writing skills.

I strongly disagree with this statement. I am sure that elementary knowledge, which were mentioned by me earlier, is not still enough for an interpreter. Such profession needs wide outlook, because translations may be different: technical, business translation and etc.

In conclusion I want to say that despite other people’s opinion, I still think that interpreters should have deep knowledge, not only a foreign language. But so many people, so many opinions.

It is very actual profession nowadays.

Артикль + лексика: it is a very up-to-the-minute profession nowadays. Слово actual не переводится как актуальный.

perfect knowledge of any language is not enough condition for work

Лексика: is not enough for work, либо is not a sufficient condition for work.

for work as interpreter

Артикль: as an interpreter. Любое исчисляемое неабстрактое существительное должно иметь артикль!

The second point for my opinion

Так не говорят. Перефразируйте, например the second point to support my point of view

literary and parallel translation, which we can get only at universities

Нет запятой, так как придаточное предложение с which является defining relative clause.

Almost no one employer does give you a chance

Грамматика: no employer does give you, no one - никто, no employer - ни один работодатель.

no one employer does give you a chance

ОЧЕНЬ ВАЖНО: в эссе нельзя обращаться к читателю you, нужно использовать a person, somebody, someone, he or she.

to work as interpreter is possible, if you are fluent in a foreign language

to work as interpreter without it

as an interpreter

without it, because they want

needs wide outlook, because translations

Запятая перед because в своём обычном значении причины не ставится.

claim that to work as interpreter

as an interpreter

that to work as interpreter is possible, if you are fluent in a foreign language

без запятой http://englishgu.ru/zapjatye-v-anglijskom/

I am sure that elementary knowledge, which were mentioned by me earlier,

Грамматика: was mentioned. Кстати, запятая нужна, так как это non-defining relative clause

wide outlook

Артикль: a wide outlook, outlook - это исчисляемое существительное

and etc.

Лексика: etc = et cetera = и так далее, поэтому technical, business translation etc.

so many people, so many opinions.

Кажется, это звучит иначе so many men, so many opinions

Столько ошибок...ужас!
Спасибо за рекоммендации:)

У меня пара вопросов к вам. :)
Если я в сочинении воспользуюсь словом "up-to-the-minute", мне считать его как одно слово или четыре?
И если я все-таки напишу "so many people, so many opinions", мне засчитают это ошибкой?

[English Guru]

По первому вопросу - это одно слово, так как через дефис. Например absent-minded тоже одно слово.

По поводу второго вопроса, это зависит от эксперта, который будет проверять Вашу работу. Я бы "не заметил", но пока мы учимся писать эссе, я указал на неточность.

[dasha16]

Спасибо:)
Я посмотрела в Интернете, там вообще было написано, что это фраза так пишется: "So many men, so many minds"

[English Guru]

Возможно, но эту "so many people, so many opinions" я тоже находил.

[vladtheimpaler]

Nowdays, our modern society needs interpreters in every sphere of activity. There are two opposite opinions about this profession. Many people think to become a interpreter a person needs to have general knowledge in a language, just speaking fluently. While others claim, that if a person wants to be a professional he must to have a lot of additional skills in a language. Who is right?
Personally, i think common knowledge is not enough for professional interpreter. Because this occupation is one of the most responsible and prestigious on the Earth. That is why a good interpreter should be not only fluent, but intellectual and informed about rules of etiquette.
Secondly, a work as interpreter implies relations with people from other countries or even from different social groups. Therefore, a professional interpreter should be aware of cultural aspects of his costumers and their social or buisness behavior.
Furthemore, millions of peoples think if a person fluent in a foreign language he can easily translate it. This is not true. Good interpreter must have perfect knowledge not only of a foreign language, but also of his native.
On the other hand, many people believe, that they can just learn common phrases and usual words to become the highest level interpreter. They even think, that can learn new language by themselves, without help of specialists or educated teachers. This people ignore any opportunity to go to a university, leaning only on themselves.
I cannot agree with this people, a higher education is a must for every interpreter who is called professional. Hundreds of idioms, thousands of words are falling on the heads of pupils, and to learn all this stuff is impossible without maintaining of a teacher, who can explain difficulties, and fix mistakes. Finally, the work as interpreter includes not only common things like listening, reading, and writing, but special methods and peculiar techniques of translation.
To sum up, work of interpreter is a one of those works, which demand wide-range knowledge in every field of life. And the fluency is just a one of many skills, which are necessary for every translator.

Неплохое сочинение the interpreter

Я еще где-то читал, что лучше не начинать предложения с and и особенно but. Используйте лучше вводные фразы (In addition, besides, moreover, anyway, however, nevertheless и т.д.).

In conclusion

если я не ошибаюсь, здесь нужна запятая.

because translations may be different: technical, business translation and etc.

старайтесь не повторяться. Скажите лучше technical, business ones and so on.

interpreters should have deep knowledge, not only a foreign language

have с language как-то не очень сочетаются - получается, что "необходимо иметь глубокие познания, не только язык". Лучше сказать так - should have deep knowledge of/in different areas, not only of/in a foreign language.

Если я где-то ошибся, поправьте, пожалуйста.

[vladtheimpaler]

English Guru, спасибо огромное! Как думаете, на сколько баллов потянет текст, если без ошибок?

[English Guru]

vladtheimpaler, Лексика у Вас хорошая, подтяните грамматику и пунктуацию. В сложноподчиненных предложениях в английском языке почти никогда не ставятся запятые. Поэтому, если не будет ошибок, то +2 балла за орфографию и пунктуацию, +2 за грамматику и +1 балл за написание he or she, а не просто he.

Я думаю, баллов на 12 Вы точно способны, может и больше.

A person who is fluent in a foreign language can easily work as interpreter.

Nowadays many people are interested in studying foreign languages to be an interpreter. However, some of them think that it is not enough to easily work as interpreter.
To begin with, this profession is chosen by assured people in their speech skills. They are experienced enough to communicate with different people and fond of active life. In that way they should be extrovert. Moreover the places in big international coorporations is chosen by them more often. The main due for them is entering in serious talks with foreign colleages of that company. It will be good chance for their career grown(карьерный рост,по другому не знаю) in case they have good maners and can speak politely using special skills.
Nevertheless,there are plenty of peope are sure that who is fluent in a foreign has not problems with this job. This is enough for every incident in their life.
In spite of that, I disagree with this statement. There are not all universal languages. For instance, they can not speak dayly English in some situations, like writing an essay. They should use some special skills for getting better mark.
In conclusion, there are no doubt that an interpreter is profession for active, extrovert, cultured and ambitious people. So, a person who is fluent in a foreign language cannot easily work as interpreter.

[Shadow804]

to easily work as interpreter.

as an interpreter

by assured people in their speech skills

by people assured in their speech skills.

Moreover the places...

Moreover - вводное слово, а значит после него нужно поставить запятую.

the places in big international coorporations is chosen by them more often

Коряво. Во-первых если согласовывать с places, то are chosen. Но пассив здесь как-то очень уже притянут. И местоимения them теряется (them- это кем именно? Слово people у вас стоит аж в предыдущем предложении).

The main due for them is entering in serious talks with foreign colleages of that company.

colleagues - посмотрите, как пишется.
очень трудно понять вашу мысль в этом предложении.
enter без предлога употребляется.
due - это что тут?

карьерный рост,по другому не знаю

career growth, career progress/development/advancement

good maners

manners

It will be good chance for their career

there will be a good chance
in case замените на if. У in case немного другое значение. Take an umbrella in case it rains. Возьми с собой зонт на случай, если пойдет дождь. А у вас просто "если ..., то ...".

there are plenty of peope are sure that who is fluent in a foreign has not problems with this job

people who are sure that
who is fluent - мне не нравится. Надо переделать
in a foreign

language

has no problems doing this job (герундий).

This is enough for every incident in their life.

слово incident - как-то не очень сюда вписывается. Выразите вашу мысль иначе. They have enough qualifications to be good at it.

There are not all universal languages

There aren't universal languages.

they can not speak dayly English

cannot - пишется слитно
they - кто они? Опять непонятно.
daily English - не встречал такого сочетания. Everyday language - лучше. Но writing an essay - это не такой уж и бытовой английский, этот скилл уже из другой области)

They should use some special skills for getting better mark.

to get a better mark. Но причем тут это?))

there are no doubt

there is no doubt that

an interpreter is profession for active

... is a profession

cannot easily work as interpreter

опять забыли артикль. Да и переформулировать нужно заключение. Нужно сказать, что одного знания языка недостаточно, необходимо обладать и другими качествами/навыками, чтобы стать успешным переводчиком. У вас же несколько по-другому это изложено, из чего непонятно, почему люди, владеющие языком, не могут быть переводчиками (может быть, они тоже активные, общительные и т.д.)

Третий абзац у вас очень маленький. Аргументации мало. Почему достаточно только знания языка?
Много повторяете изначальное утверждение (которое дано в качестве темы). И не очень логично получилось. Я бы даже сказал, что сумбурно. Нет вашего собственного мнения. Во втором абзаце ключевыми словами являются in my opinion/to my mind и т.д. За это вообще могут много снять.

[English Guru]

karina_mia, Shadow804, да уж, многовато ошибок.

[amerius]

People have been communicating since time immemorial. Today we still want to socialize with people around the world. Such an action requires interpreters. Can a person work as an interpreter only with having good knowledge or not? Now I would like to express my point of view on this statement.

In my opinion, even if people are fluent in a foreign language, they cannot be translators. First of all, translating needs not only knowledge of a foreign language, but also perfect skills of a native language. For example, writing an assay, a person should remember both foreign grammar, and native grammar. Secondly, working of an interpreter needs so much time, so not everyone can allow himself or herself to do it.

On the other hand, some people believe that it does not need to have a diploma to confirm their skills. They say that practice will show everything. In their opinions, employers will be glad to take a person with enough knowledge of a language.

I strongly disagree with this statement because, to my mind, in every profession a person needs to indicate a certificate.

Despite other people’s opinion, I still believe that if people want to be interpreters, they should have perfect skills in this field and be ready to share a lot of their time.

[English Guru]

both foreign grammar, and native grammar

связка both ... and без запятых.

Secondly, working of an interpreter needs

Либо the work of an interpreter, либо working as an interpreter, либо interpreter's work

it does not need to have a diploma

формально ошибки нет, но в таких случаях говорят it is no need to have ...

In their opinions,

Слово opinion даже в таком случае используется в единственном числе

a person needs to indicate a certificate

Что это значит? Используйте show или have

they should have perfect skills in this field and be ready to share a lot of their time.

to share time - поделиться временем? Возможно, devote time?

ИТОГ: очень хорошее эссе, 13/14

[natalja]

проверьте, пожалуйста...
Over the last two decades the world we live in has significantly changed. Due to the processes of globalization and migration, the number of people who fluently speak in foreign languages has noticeably grown. Many think that such fluency allows people to work as interpreters, while others doubt if it is possible.
In my mind, fluent speaking in a foreign language does not provide successful working as an interpreter. To begin with, the occupation requires such professional quality as being a linguistically literary person. Then, depending on the type of interpretation, technical, medical, economic, military or legal, an employee should know a huge number of special terms unused in everyday life.
Yet, many are sure that in the course of work a person, who has already had skills of fluent speaking in a foreign language, could easily expand his or her vocabulary adding newly-learnt terms necessary for their province.
I would argue. Besides excellent ability to memorize lexical units, an interpreter should be capable of concentrating and have a quick reaction. Still, he or she should have extra ordinary mental and physical stamina for the job is extremely exhausting. Evidently, to obtain such abilities and qualities, a person should be specially taught and well-trained.
Taking everything into account, I want to stress that as a sensitive occupation, the profession of an interpreter requires a degreed specialist. That is why employers seek university graduators, but amateurs, to offer a position. (240)
