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!

　　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：這是你在申請學校，不是我。下次別忘了推薦信！
