VO: What's your specialty in civil engineering?
Me: Building structural control.It's to protect buildings from collapse under
quake and storm.
VO: So you are a graduate in Tsinghua Univ...
Me: Yes.I'm a Master student and will get my degree next week.
VO: Why not study in a Chinese university?
Me: Research in my field in China is short(poor English :P).Even American
experts were invited to help design the structural control systems for
Nanjing TV Tower in 2000.To study it in its hometown can speed up my
future development in China.
VO: Please give me your transcripts from Tsinghua.
(I submitted it.)
VO: What position will you get after graduation?
Me: You mean my future plan?
(VO nod.)
Me: I'll join a Chinese institute of building science,such as ***.I wanna
develop structural control systems for buildings, stadiums in China.So
many new buildings will be constructed in China next decades.It's a big
chance for me to apply my knowledge.
VO: How many univeristies did you apply?
Me: Six.They are all strong in my field.
VO: How many admitted you?
Me: Four admissions.Only this offer.
(VO played his computer and disregarded me.)
Me: In the Xinjiang quake this February,nearly 300 persons died from building
collapse.I want to use my knowledge to improve building safety in China.
(Silence...)
Me: I have talked with the director of *** and got his supporting letter.
It's the top institute in my field in China.
(Silence...)
Me: So many buidling projects will wait for me in China(开始胡说了).
I will surely come back!
VO: blabla...(忘了怎么说的,反正就是check)
