  Topic94 一证难求

  情境导读

  Mary准备去美国留学,她在进行面签,工作人员问了她一些相关问:她的回答能让工作人员满意并给她办下签证吗?

  英语情景会话

  (以M代表Mary,O代表Officer)

  M: Good morning. My name is Mary.

  O: Good morning. Sit down, please. Would you mind if I ask you some questions?

  M:Of course not.

  O: What do you go to America for?

  M: I'd like to study for my Master's Degree.

  O: Will you get any kind of scholarship?

  M: Yes. The school has provided me with a partial scholarship. And my father is ready to cover the rest expenses. Here is the bank account proof.

  O: All right. Are you planning to work in America after graduation?

  M: No, sir. I'm sure to come back to China as soon as I get my degree. Anyway it's my hometown. I think it's better to start up my own business in my familiar place than in other countries.

  O: OK, we'll complete the formalities for your entry visa as soon as possible. We'll inform you at once.

  M: Thank you very much.

  英语笔记

  1.此处用升调表示客气。

  2.Master's Degree 意为“硕士学位”。

  3.partial scholarship 是指“部分奖学金”,full scholarship 是指“全额奖学金”。

  4.start up 有“开办”的意思,“start up one's business”意思是“创业”。

  5.own/əun/与owe/əu/发音相近,不要混淆。

  英语语音语调

  升调表示客气

  What do you do the States for?是询问句,要用升调表示客气。Are you planning to work in America after graduation?是一般疑问句,也要用升调表示客气。表示请求和询问的方法和句式有很多,但相同的句式结尾用升调或降调,言外之意大不一样。如:

  I'd like some information about going abroad, please.

  尽管此句是一个陈述句,但也用升调表示客气。

  What's your name?

  如果要用降调,除非你是警察,而对方是个嫌疑犯。
