VO: Do you have a resume?

VO: Could you please show me your student ID card at BeijingUniversity?
Me: Well, I have already graduated for one year and… (奇怪,不是告诉她我毕业了么!)
VO: Then could you show me your transcript?
Me: Ok! Should I open it for you?

VO: No…
Me: (不甘心) It shows my scholarship…
VO: No! I don’t need it! (继续翻看了一下我的成绩单、Study Plan、CV等材料。我选择不再出击,但心里感觉她已经决定放我了。果然不一会儿,金发 MM一边将我的I-20和SEVIS 收据递出, 一边说道) OK, your VISA is approved! (撕绿条)
Me: (一眼看见没有护照,好高兴!)Thank you, Madam! Have a nice weekend!
VO: Thank you!
