key questions:
(1)what will you do in the States
(2)what do you do now
(3)How can you finish you degree in China while pursuing another degree in the States?
这就是小黑一直纠缠的问题。我说因为有一年的空闲我想好好利用时间,中国的研究生都这样,他们会利用这一年找实习。他说I don't understand.我又把我的答案说了一遍,声音有点激动了,因为准备的时候我们根本没把这当成问题。他还是摇头说it doesn't make sense to me. 我非常激动说中国研究生都这样,然后就把我给拒了,还welcome me next year.
预约8点,流水号是8号,很顺哦。等待按指纹的时候就看见我的材料在小韩那里,第二个。小韩似乎心情不错,还没工作呢就自己乐和起来。叫到我的号的时候前面的gg还在签。他是在国内拿到本科学位还要去美国读建筑学的本科,口语一般有背过的痕迹。搞笑的是小韩问他How will you pay your tuition?他开始可能没听懂,拿出sevis fee的收据。第二次重复问题,答案是by credit card. 我在后面暗爽啊,哈哈,这个回答太有创意了。我笑的时候小韩也在乐,好像也看到我乐了,呵呵,有种找到知音的感觉可能。第三次,gg终于说我爸付钱,交上财产证明。我不是很看好他了,竟然也过了。人家这样都过了,我不过就太没有天理了吧
小韩:You were rejected last time because your thesis is unfinished?
一上来直击要害,俺喜欢,因为我准备了这个问题。
me: I am afraid there are some misunderstanding so please let me finish my explanation this time.
小韩:ok
me: The master program in my school is a two years program. One year for all the taught courses, I have finished. My school in.... allows postgraduates off campus as long as they can finally hand in degree paper and pass oral defense. My supervisor encourages me to use the year wisely and is supportive about my studying abroad. I have finished my prime scheme of degree paper. I have all the documents to prove what I've said is true.
这是我能想到的最简短最切中要害的答案了,学校允许,导师同意,初稿已完成。人家都没意见,你纠缠啥子呢
小韩:who will pay your tuition?
me: my mom
小韩:tell me about your mom
me: She is custom service manager in State Grid. Do you know State Grid?电业局的翻译我自己都不熟悉,一再强调电业局是因为国有垄断企业嘛,效益好。我们家的收入来源,必须得强调啊。
小韩: yes
me:She has worked for twenty years. Her monthly salary is 45,000rmb. Do you want to see bank document?其实我想说的是月薪4500,现在回想起来怎么说成4万五了,老妈好有钱哦。这个问题我回答的很结巴,he, she分不清,就是45000第一次说的是forty thousand.我口语还是蛮不错的,但基本功不好最烦数字。
小韩:no, welcome to America白条就撕给我了。
整个过程没有看一份材料,就过了。2000之后我觉得小韩是最好签的,只要你能回答他的问题,他不会纠缠你。这次签,又碰到了小黑。在隔壁窗口keep saying I don't understand,而且会打断你的回答,很紧张啊。小韩很讲理,而且给你充足的时间回答。如果你回答的不好,他还会引导你,看你的材料引导你回答的角度。我前面的gg有个问题回答的不沾边,小韩就问他要材料然后问了个很具体的问题。其他的vo只会说that's not my question,很吓人的啊。也好像不怎么打断吧,所以他签的最慢。隔壁的金发mm都拒了4,5个了,小韩面我算是第2个。
