PETS-2每日對話練習346
Ian: Good, this is sounding more and more like a long-term plan.
Candy: But I might change my mind.
Ian: That's OK. You just want to present a coherent, long-term picture of your goals. Admissions committees like that.
Candy: Is that all that they care about?
Ian: They'd also like to see how you're going to help the world. Maybe you want to encourage sustainable coffee growing.
Candy: You'll write that for me, right?
Ian: This is your application, not mine. Don't forget the letters of recommendation next time!
(續上期,下期續) 伊恩:很好,這聽起來越來越像個長程計劃了。
凱蒂:但我還可能改變心意。
伊恩:沒關系。你衹是想呈現出一個條理分明的、有遠景的目標。入學許可委員會喜歡那樣的東西。
凱蒂:他們就衹在意那些嗎?
伊恩:他們還想看你將如何幫助全世界。也許你想提倡永續種植咖啡的方法。
凱蒂:你會替我寫那部分,對吧?
伊恩:這是你在申請學校,不是我。下次別忘了推薦信!
