問題六
Q:Why did you choose your major?
問:你為何選擇就讀該科系?
A:I majored in English because I knew I wanted to work in an international business environment. English is a major language of the global marketplace. Without adequate English abilities, you will find it very hard to get anywhere. It’s a basic, but hugely important skill, and can be adapted to almost any profession. I’ve also successfully completed many business English classes to specifically prepare myself for the business world.
答:我主修英文是因為我知道我想在一個國際化的職場裡上班。英文是全球貿易的主要語言。缺乏足夠的英文能力,你會發現很難有什麼成就。英文是很基本卻極為重要的技能,且幾乎各種專業都適用。我也順利修畢許多商用英語專門課程,讓我能有所準備因應商場的需求。
