your topic, you need to bear in mind that choosing a topic is
only the first step in preparing a thesis. "Final"
in the above context means that you have finally made up your
mind on which out of the many of your translating experiences
you are interested in exploring. When viewed in the larger picture
of the entire thesis project, the topic is actually "tentative"

You will have to limit the scope further and find your own focus
of discussion. This process of narrowing is really one of discovering
a topic within a topic. Go through the following steps and tasks,
which are designed to help you restrict the scope of your research
and define a focus.

the following tasks. Then conduct an analysis of your own.
First, they broke down the topic into smaller structural
units.
