My name is Shuting Chen, and I am a graduate student pursuing my studies at the Department of Foreign Languages, East China Normal University. My academic journey in English Language has been both enriching and inspiring, nurturing my interest in cross-cultural communication. Fascinated by the dynamics of intercultural exchanges, this year I took part in an online program organized by Universität Hamburg, during which I reconsidered social and cultural concepts, reflected on the aftermath of colonial legacies, and improved my strategies for nonviolent conversation. Additionally, it was heartening to see Chinese culture received by more international friends when I made the presentation to introduce the history and connotation of traditional Chinese silk round fan. I am glad my education enables me to explore different cultures and share my own stories, thereby promoting mutual understanding and respect. Moreover, I find my enthusiasm for volunteer work. I have just finished my voluntary work in the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE). I was responsible for the visitors’ information registration and qualification approval, which, with more than 3,400 enterprises and over 10,000 professional visitors, was definitely a tiring task. As a result, I am proud that not only did I finish the work, but also did it perfectly.

In addition, from July to September this year, I completed two months of administrative internship in IMBeR international project office (China) , during which I became proficient in document writing, interpersonal communication, logistics and statistics skills. Besides, I was involved in the preparation of an international training program and fully understood the operation process of foreign aid training. This internship not only broadened my vision, but also improved my English level, exercised my communication skills, and accumulated valuable experience for my future study and work.

I’m Xinyu Liang, a senior conquering the geographical world at East China Normal University. I’ve added a touch of Nordic charm at Aarhus University as an exchange student and tackled Contemporary Political Theories at the University of Oxford – because who doesn’t love a bit of adventure? I enjoy sports in my spare time, but my height suggests that I could never be a good basketball player. After traversing Europe and undertaking internships in various sectors, including government departments, multinational corporations, and college offices, I unearthed a profound interest in engaging with international organizations. My tenure as a student president, class monitor, and leader of a national competition team has not only fortified my language and computer proficiency, but has also finely tuned my communication and organizational aptitude. I’m convinced that the secret to true happiness is doing what you love with people who you admire, and that’s why I joined IMBeR. Cheers to a future filled with challenges, laughter, and miracle!

This is Ye Shenghui, a first-year postgraduate student majoring in English-Chinese Interpretation at East China Normal University. I’ve been practicing language abilities and honing my professional skills since my admission. Moreover, I am always active in voluntary or part-time works concerning international communication. As a translation&interpretation learner, a broad knowledge covering diverse subjects is a must apart from professional expertise. That’s why I choose to take part in the internship program at IMBeR which provides me with deep insights into the ocean. Dealing with the translation tasks as an intern is a bit challenging because of the sheer unfamiliar scope and the complicated text style, but it is exciting to gain new knowledge after digging into the text and trying my best to absorb it.
In conclusion, I am profoundly honored and exhilarated to contribute to IMBeR as an intern. It is with great anticipation that I embark on this journey of discovery and growth alongside the esteemed members of IMBeR. Nice to meet you, IMBeR!

I’m Xiong Kun, currently pursuing my bachelor degree in philosophy that entitles me, by a plethora of training on reading and writing, to fathom key concepts and ideas within complicated and abstract contexts and transfer them into plain words. With increasing concern about climate change and environment issues especially in ocean, I feel the urgency to make a difference and the first step is to promote the popularization of oceanic knowledge, in which I can utilize my writing skills to smooth the understanding of professional knowledge for common people. Given the fact that ocean covers nearly 70% of the surface of our planet, connecting us in different forms, virtually no country could escape from being influenced, therefore, international cooperation with the sense of responsibility is a necessity. Participating in IMBeR, I can contribute to its commitment by my abilities and skills while obtaining a precious and valuable experience in an international organization.
