然后被杀手杀!问他原因,说我不会回来的。问题是他根本不问归国计划什么的?完全没有问我,他怎么知道呢?
资金绝对不是问题,他自己也说了的。
还有,我说话的时候说的很快,而且语气也是平时说英语的语气。是不是这样不好呢?
我觉得lz在两个比较主要的问题上没有回答好。一个是 Why are u going to USA to do ur master?这个明显是在问出国必要性,应该主要从自己为什么要出国入手,而不该一来就说美国怎么怎么好。vo给了一次补救的机会,又问了一遍,不过lz还是没怎么回答好,应该说能让我有更大的提高更好的发展什么的,说incable to do明显对自己太不自信。老美需要自信的人才,你应该向vo表明你是个人才,在自己明确的规划下寻求更大的发展,而不是因为自己没有能力做什么而不得不出国。
