My partner interview. Five months ago, I attended a partner interview in an accounting firm. Before the interview, I spent much time preparing for it by reading a lot of interview sharings on the internet, listing all the questions that would be likely to be asked during the interview and doing mock interviews with my classmates and relatives. All these preparations finally turned out to be necessary. It was a HK partner who interviewed me. In the moment of hearing that he is from HK, I was very worried. I thought it must be an English interview and that was the problem because my spoken English was poor and I could not even say one sentence fluently. With the uneasy mood, I walked into the meeting room. Fortunately, he told me to sit down and started introducing himslef in CHINESE! Thank god! What a relief! Then he asked me a few questions, told me his experiences from an assistant auditor to a partner in the accounting firm and gave me some suggestions about how to get used to the new environment out of school. He really was a nice man. After the interview, I reflected myself. I had to get English done before graduation, otherwise, it would be an obstacle in my career. From then on, I started to listen and repeat actor's lines of American dramas and watch Famiy Album USA every day. I hoped it would help. Now, since I have found this website, I decided to write an English composition each day. There are six months away from graduation. I believe I can improve my English in all respects, reading, listening, speaking and writing. I hope I could communicate freely and easily with native English speakers. I would appreciate every person who offers me favor and gives me suggestions about how to improve English. I will keep studying hard. I hope you can see my progress.

What are you doing in five years? Last night, I read an article, named "What are you doing in five years?". The article is written about a man who is attracted to music but working at an IT department. When he was confused and anxious, her friend Valerie asked him, "Visualize what are you doing in five years? What kind of person do you want to be?" After a few minutes of meditation, he told her friend that, in five years, he hoped he can issue a CD which is quite popular among the world and approved by many people. What's more, he said he'd like to live in a place where there is plenty of music and he can work together with some world-class music masters. Then his friend said, "If you are pretty sure about these hopes, 我们就把这些目标倒算回来(I don't know how to translate this sentence.). If you want to issue a CD in the fifth year, you must sign a contract with a record company in the fourth year. Before that, you need to present your excellent songs to many record companies. So in the second year, you should start record your songs and in the first year, you'd better arrange well all your songs which are supposed to be recorded. Right now, you should write songs and modify them over and over. Now, do you know what you should do next week?" Listenedn his friend's analyzation, he suddenly was enlightened. He resigned his work and moved to Los Angeles. After six years, the selling of his CDs was started to take off. He spend almost the whole day in working with many world-class music masters. As with the man, I was suddenly enlightened, too. As a senior student, I need to ask the same question to myself. What am I doing in five years? What kind of life do I really want? What matters most to me? What should I do right now to achieve that goal? If I don't even know the answers, how can I ask someone else to give me a favor?
