FICHE-TYPE POUR RENDRE COMPTE EN ANGLAIS

DE SON STAGE PROFESSIONNEL

En 2004, alors que je faisais passer l'oral d'anglais à une section de BTS Iris d'un lycée de la région parisienne, je me suis aperçu que les candidats récitaient tous plus ou moins la même leçon. Sur mon insistance, l'un d'entre eux me remit le texte de formules toutes faites qui leur avait été donné par leur professeur d'anglais. On le trouvera ci-dessous car il peut manifestement rendre de grands services aux candidats présents et à venir, en espérant que ces derniers se contenteront d'y puiser des éléments de rédaction et s'abstiendront de l'apprendre par cœur.

J'ai ajouté à cette fiche un petit vocabulaire français-anglais relatif au stage professionnel.

▪ Of course, in the 1st week, I was given a tour of the facility to know my way around and understand the activities and strategies of the company. Thus I was given an introduction to the work with the company.

▪ Although I learned several useful skills during my internship, I wish I could have seen other parts of the company / I wish I could have spent more time working on new technologies / I wish I could have spent more time on the premises in order to see the results of my work.

V - CONCLUSION

▪ In the end, it was a valuable experience because I gained professional expertise / work experience in my particular career field.
