Olga’s Internship Experience at Alpha School of English Malta
As an intern, I work in the office of Alpha School of English in Malta. I find this experience very useful for me. Even after the class I continue to practice my English with colleges that work with me. We speak only English because although there are a lot of Maltese people, there are also some foreign students that’s why our common ‘lingua franca’ is English.
As part of improving my English, I have a chance to try my skills in different types of work. It’s a very big advantage of internship in Alpha School that the work isn’t monotone and repetitive. For example, I liked a lot the idea to write some small texts for school’s blog. Of course it’s difficult for me to express myself in foreign language but it’s very useful for my English. Secondly, people from other nations can read my observations and add their opinions about Malta, School and their own experience.
Another type of work is the translation from English to Russian. In my professional life I have done a lot of written and oral translations from French and Italian languages. I like to choose the best variety of the translation in Russian and to compose the same English text in my own language. It’s a very creative and interesting activity.
Internet research and writing articles are more examples of my work. I take the opportunity to change my activity every hour so my internship doesn’t become routine and boring. It always depends on you and your leader.
