终于到了自己写签经的时候了:
背景:学校,washington university at st. louis,本科专业,hydraulic engineering, 预读的phd专业,biomedical engineering。
准备材料很少,transcript,offer letter,english test score,resume,program introduction,professor introduction。只用到前两者。
me:Good afternoon, madam, how are you doing?(jfmm本打算开说,但是听到我的问候,也就稍微放松了一下回应我的问候)
vo:Give me your card
me:here it is
vo:(看了一会i20以后)so you are going to washington uni...?
me:(我连忙接上)Washington university at sl. (停了一秒,没有要打断的意思,好)I will study bme for my phd.(又停了一秒,还不打断,继续)My speciality is biomechanics and cardiovascular engineering.
vo:...hydraulic engineering...?(一脸询问的样子)
me:(知道问我专方向的问题)Yes, I changed my major. (开始背自己的答案)I am more interested in bme, and I believe I would be more successful in my new major. A professor advised me to turn to bme, which emphasized on interdisciplinary collaboration, applying engineering techniques into the solution of biomedical problems. My strong interest in biomedical problems combined with my strong undergraduate backgrond in engineering would make me perfectly suitable for the research of bme. (不打断我,我就说了另一段)You know research in my interested field in china is not well developed yet. And we will receive very high reputation and very good treatment in china.(背的比较流畅,也挺激动)
vo:(嗯,不错)why you go to usa?
me:usa's universities have the best bme....
vo:(大概说,怎么你们中国学生都这么说美国,与中国国内真有那么大么?笑了一笑,想考我)
me:(我就编了一个差距出来,说短时间内是没法缩短这几十年的差距的,我们正是要去学一些东西)To learn their advanced techniques, to learn their research methods, and what is important(我示意我的重点)to learn the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration, which is most lacking in china.
(然后她向我要了offer letter 和 transcript,我的transcript的信封是已经打开的,比较省事)
vo:(但是实际上很多的中国学生都不回来啊,又笑了一笑)
me:yeah, maybe many students did not come back. But, you know, china is developing very quickly, as well as our scientific research. I believe more and more chinese students are coming back.(之前把这个问题的答案说了一部分,所以这里就不该重复了)
vo:(不问了,开始仔细看我的offer letter和trancript,我傻站着,累的感觉又来了,习惯性的想爬台子上,发现很不雅,立马纠正了过来;想继续说一些准备好的话,不过觉得太唐突,说多可能填麻烦;jfmm没发现啥问题,于是突然露出灿烂的笑容,哇,给我撕红条了,感觉这会的笑容是真的美啊,人都变漂亮了)
me:(拿了红条,抱起零乱的材料就走,头也没有抬,后来感觉有点对不住)thank you very much.(我都听到身后的人说我过了,冷静了一下以后,就开始记录今天的问题,居然只剩下模糊的印象了)
