    计划和准备旅行的时候我先找一家房子在城市中心里。在城市中心里比较好，因为可以走路很多地方，而且很多饭店和商店都很近。 我做的最重要的事情是用上网找到好的饭馆和酒吧。我读所哟的在线评论所以我知道最好的地方和道菜。那我到的时候，我有很多地方可以选择。 但是我从来不收拾衣服，直到我离开的那天，这太无聊了！

    Today, like yesterday, is a rainy day. It rained all day from morning to night. Right now it’s raining a little and the air is thick with humidity. I hate it.

    Advantages and disadvantages of being a part-time translator (I)

    Translation is certainly not an easy job. This is the conclusion I have come to after working as a part-time translator for more than five years. It should be mentioned that I have no formal training in this area. Most of what I know today I learnt through was learned by trial and error on my own. (Ed note: "on my own" is mostly redundant here.) Therefore, this article is not going to provide you with any advice or tips on translation. However, I do want to discuss here about the advantages and disadvantages of being a part-time translator.

    From my point of view ,  (Ed note: I'm guilty of putting commas where there are pause spots in spoken language too, but they generally shouldn't be added until a full line of thought has been written. "However" "First" etc. are exceptions to this.) there are mainly two positive aspects about this profession. (Ed note: if this were a professional essay I'd say that you should extend this sentence to list what those things are eg. "..two positive aspects about this profession:  knowledge acquisition and flexibility." But I'm pretty sure Guardian columnists write like you did here so YMMV.)

    First, you will come into contact with many different areas of knowledge. Certainly there are specializations: legal translation, literary translation, technical translation, etc. However, it´s very common to be working on some notarized documents one day and the following day on a wine company’s website or an electronic device´s instruction manual. By doing translation, (Ed note: same situation with this comma) you will learn about a wide range of knowledge. 


    The second advantage of being a freelance translator is time flexibility. Have an medical appointment in the this morning? Then work harder that this afternoon. Have a party the next tomorrow night? It’s fine. Get up earlier that day tomorrow and finish the project before going out. (Ed note: I think this bit felt off to me because it switches into your first-person perspective rather than the removed way in which the rest of the essay is phrased.) Every translator can estimate approximately the time she needs to complete a work according to its length and difficulty and plans her own schedule. (Ed note: changed this to female pronouns because two women worked on this ;) But in general it's fine to use female or male pronouns to neutrally refer to things people do.) 


    Nevertheless, having no fixed work schedule can turn out to be a disadvantage in some situations. I will discuss this and more in the next post.

    [emoji][emoji] That was a really good piece of writing!

    Having listened to the audio, he's also saying "What department are you in", but his Australian accent means that the 'department', 'are' and 'you' sounds slide into each other so that's why you're hearing it as "to". Listen a few more times, there's definitely an "are" in there! That audio's good accent training!

    Do you think it's true that there is life in on other planets? 

    Millionaire's people don't know in what waste their money on.

    Otherwise all correct!

    "Q: Great. So what department do you work in ? "

    Perhaps you misheard? It's incorrect without the verb.
