Part 8 Immigration Decline
1) Give me three reasons that you will come back to China?
2) You can also make more of this kind of money in US, why don't you want to earn more?
Why you come back to China instead of finding a job in America?
Firstly, my husband will be staying in Beijing as he has a nice job here. He is a **, working in **. He likes his job very much. 2 years of separation is really tough for us, so I will return to China as soon as I graduate.
Secondly, my parents are getting older and older. They need me to come back to take care of them. Last but not least, China has a bright future. I’m sure with a master degree in Accounting and my own social network of relationships in Beijing, I will be able to find a nice job pretty easily.
My primary preference is to be hired in a foreign- invested corporation. My optional choice is……

3) Do you want your husband to go with you?
No, he would like to stay in Beijing as he has a nice job here. He is a **, working in **, and he likes his job very much. Besides, he will need to take care of our apartment while I’m away.

4) What’s your husband like?
He’s kind and supportive. He often cooks for me. When I concentrated on my study, he did all the housework. Besides, he’s really hard-working, and has a very clear goal for work.
也可能签证官想对你们的感情做更多的验证，这个问题如果不提前准备一时还真答不上来，最好举一个具体小事例。

5) Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back?
Well, I don’t know. Honestly, this question puzzles me too. Whatever, I must come back and spend the rest of life with my husband. We have known each other for ** years and have already celebrated our ** wedding anniversary.

Have you applied for scholarship or financial aid? Why?
Yes, I tried to, because it is available there.

Why you didn’t get the scholarship?
You know, it’s really hard to get scholarship from business schools. I think another reason might be that I don’t have a related bachelor degree. But that’s not a big deal, I can handle it myself. My husband and I can earn ** yuan a year, and we have been working for ** years.

I earn around ** a year. My husband’s salary is higher than mine. He can earn ** yuan a year.

Part 10 T/G Test
1) How long have you prepared your visa interview?
It took me around 1 month to get ready for the visa interview, including making visa interview appointment and gathering necessary documents.

Have you prepared the interview in New Oriental?
No, I didn’t.
（千万别说你跟新东方有什么关系，或者你上过类似的辅导班。新东方在美国的口碑很差，因为他们曾经跟ETS打过官司，而且美国人认为新东方培养的都是高分低能的学生。）

2) How long have you prepared for GMAT?
I studied for about 3 months for my GMAT. I only studied after work and on weekends because I am working full time.

I think American’s humor is the best. The famous TV series, Friends, is a typical representative. I love it very much.（不好夸别的，否则会被怀疑想移民。）
The worst thing……I’m sorry, I’ve never thought of this question. （这个话题也有点敏感，不如不说。）
But I do know the worst thing in China, the man’s football team. You know, if they fail, it’s normal; if they win, that will be a big surprise!（哈哈，这样就把话题转移了，也没有贬低自己的祖国。）.

I think American’s humor is the best. The famous TV series, Friends, is a typical representative. I love it very much.

Which one do you like best in Friends?（哈哈，好像一提起friends，这个问题最容易被提及。）
Joey. He’s kind and naïve. Actually, I didn’t like him at first, because I thought he’s a playboy. But I was moved gradually. He loves his little sister, his parents, and his grandma. He’s warm-hearted to his friends. When he thought Phoebe was a Single Mother, he proposed to her. When Rachel wanted to move out from Ross’s apartment with her baby, Joey accepted her enthusiastically.

Chinese noodles. Noodles are the main food in my hometown. They are my favorite food since my childhood. I have tried different kinds of noodles after I came to Beijing, such as fried sauce noodles of Beijing, Dandan noodles of Sichuan, and Biangbiang noodles of Shanxi. By the way, Biang maybe the most complex word in Chinese, you can only find it in the Kangxi Dictionary. It’s an ancient dictionary, edited in the Qing Dynasty, about 300 years ago. （不好意思，您被绕晕没？这可能是我准备的最无厘头的回答了。）

（事实上，在吃这个话题上本人下了很多功夫，锁定noodles这个目标不断延展。比如：
你最喜欢的食物是什么？面条……；
你最喜欢中国的什么？面条……；
你老公的优点是什么？他对我很好，经常给我做面条……；
去了美国后会想家吗？当然，还会想念中国的面条……；

Pizza. I like Pizza Hut.

I like Malan Noodles restaurant. It has many branches in Beijing. Noodles are the main food in my hometown. They are my favorite food since my childhood. The noodles of Malan are the Northwest flavor, totally different from that of my hometown, yet I love both of them.

6) What is the thing you don't like most in China? （儿不嫌母丑，只好认准国足来挖苦了。）
Well, I never thought about this question. Um, I got one, the man’s football team! You know, if they fail, it’s normal; if they win, that will be a big surprise!

It’s famous for hot pot, for beautiful girls （如果是男生就把这项给删了吧，否则后果可能有点严重）, and especially for the leisure of life. Every afternoon, around 4 or 5, you can see people sitting around in the open air, drinking tea, chatting, and playing Majiang. It’s a perfect place to relax yourself.

What do you do in your spare time?
Cooking, walking, or reading,……
（哈哈，具体阐述时，cooking就是谈面条，walking就是去后海，reading就是读史记和红楼梦，这些答案上文都提过。）

I am a perfectionist and sometimes too picky on the details. I am a little over-organized, somewhat like Monica in the Friends.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, He’s great. He led America through the Great Depression.
