　　in the past three years, i have participated in several activities concerning the application of english. in july 20xx i used to work as an office assistant in an import export company for two weeks, during which i have done some translation and reception work that enabled me to learn a great deal which couldnt be taught in class. whats more, june 20xx saw my translation efforts made for the tender materials of english version of some construction companies. i think my education and previous experiences will enable me to offer helpful services.
