With a 9-year experience of narrating work, Liu Yaqin, the veteran narrator and the current chief of this narrator team, pioneered the English narration attempt in the early times.
At Liu's time in 2004, all narrations were done by Chinese. But as more and more foreign tour groups showed their interests in Yiwu market after the year 2005, English narrations became a need.
"When we received a foreign group, our narrator said a Chinese sentence and then officers in Municipal Foreign Affairs Office translated it into English-this was the pattern we followed that time."Said Liu.
Because of a fine command of English, Liu took on the tasks of English narrations.Liu briefed that she voluntarily applied for an English training class in EF school after work,
and she also asked her classmate who worked as an English teacher in Collages to correct her accent.
"It is not easy to be a qualified English narrator."Liu took her experience as an example that, English narrator had to translate all Chinese materials into English versions
all by herself and recited all of these scripts."You know, when we are at work, what we say and how we behave present the image of Yiwu market.Since foreign guests generally spend one hour or two in touring around the market, their direct impression of our market comes from the narrators. "
As the chief now, Liu plays the role of training and assessment of new workers in the whole team "People always have different feeling and career tendencies at different ages.Young and energetic girls prefer narration work.
But as a career-mature person, I like to share my experiences to all."Liu stated that she felt satisfied with her working position,"I would always see myself in the past from the expecting eyes of all these young girls."
"Girls always don't know much about this job, what they see are the bright shiny part of this job without noticing the realistic and petty parts."So what Liu would do first when she starts to train new employees, is to teach them to make adjustments:"It is of vital part to make all girls understand that the job is not that easy as what they image."Concluded Liu.
