Big World Little Me (3)

After coming to Japan for nearly a year, I was assigned to a department without a translator because of my work, and although I experienced many setbacks, I benefited from the fact that I had no foundation in Japanese, gradually understood their language, and began to learn to express myself.

The second batch of Chinese trainees came, our department was assigned to three Chinese, all handsome men, still did not arrange translation, because I had previous work experience and Japanese foundation, when they could not understand the Japanese language I was called to translate, one after two I became a part-time translator in our department. As this opportunity increased, I naturally accumulated my vocabulary. The three boys were all gentlemen and intelligent, and soon became proficient in their work, doing a good and faster job than the Japanese.

Since then Chinese team has become stronger, me, Xiao Lu, and three men, we are busy but very happy to work, our favorite is the weekend overtime, because not only is the salary high and there are no Japanese people, we can listen to music and chat while working, quality and quantity are also happy. Before each overtime, we will burn some CDs carefully, save our favorite songs, and enjoy the joy brought to us by music together. The deepest impression is the first Chinese New Year's Eve in Japan, at the time of the Chinese family reunion and eating dumplings, we worked overtime in the factory, although we missed our hometown in our hearts, but because of our compatriots together, there was no loneliness and desolation, and we excitedly discussed our own New Year customs while working happily. Suddenly someone came in, and it turned out that our section chief had sent us a Spring Festival gift very intimately, and did not blame us for listening to music while working.

In the blink of an eye came to Japan for almost two years, the students heard that they could apply for the Foreigners' Japanese Level Test, they all signed up, I didn't think at all, I felt that I had not studied systematically, all by accumulating and self-study, it was impossible to take the exam, but Xiao Lu and the Japanese people heard about it and strongly advised me to take the exam, and several classmates also encouraged me, and then I reported the Japanese level two test with a hard scalp. In preparation for the upcoming exam, it took me more than a month to complete the standard Japanese booklet that had been shelved before turning over the previous pages. After going to the examination room, I found that there were people from various countries who took the exam, and before the exam, I also chatted with the front and back positions in Japanese, and found that their level was really poor, and suddenly their confidence exploded, and it really felt too simple after the test questions were issued. After a while, the results were announced, and there were two or three students who passed the exam, and I was one of them, and I was very happy, and I felt that the suffering I had suffered in front of me had also paid off.
