  M: I'd like to study for my Master's Degree.
  O: Will you get any kind of scholarship?
  M: Yes. The school has provided1 me with a partial2 scholarship. And my father is ready to cover the rest expenses. Here is the bank account proof3.
  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/?un/与owe/?u/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。
