This was the most unforgettable experience that I had ever gotten in my student’s life. In PMO, I gained plenty of valuable experience and useful knowledge when working in a professional work environment. Actually, I was a collaborator of PMO, and I didn’t expect that I would do my internship right in my workplace. Therefore, I didn’t really feel strange, but I kept pace with my work and got along with people in the office quite well. Everyone was superb friendly, sociable and supportive. They were willing to help and instruct me whenever I needed or didn’t understand anything. I was in charge of two duties: one is to translate articles of the school’s websites and lesson videos about film-making from English to Vietnamese and vice versa, and another is to be a main cameraman as controlling and adjusting the camera to livestream online lessons by using Zoom application, set up enrollment shows and talkshows. Regarding the translation job, most of the time I work from home due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic. After 2 months of doing the internship at PMO, my vocabulary, especially education vocabulary, and grammar usage has improved significantly. I am also getting used to with press writing style. Of course, I had been through many difficulties when trying to complete my tasks such as misunderstanding the ideas of my supervisor and sometimes feeling frustrated or tedious about my job. However, I strived my best to accomplish my duties and I was happy with the results.
