D. Conditions for research
Subject conditions:
After 4 years study in my college, I studied one year in my teacher’s classes about practice and theory of translation. In addition, I read a lot of English paper about my subject.
Objective conditions:
To begin with, I get some great help and guidance from my supervisor on the writing of my dissertation. And also with the population of the computer, it is more convenient for students to search for information. At the same time, we are able to discover materials we need at the library. Last but not least, my close friend give me some valuable suggestions.
