10) What do you do with your work for BS/MS/PhD?During my study in University of Maryland I will do the research about the useful and efficient image processing techniques for the food quality and safety.
11) What is your purpose for the Visa? I want to get an F-1 Visa, and to pursue my PhD degree in University of Maryland in USA.
12) What is your academic background? I got my Bachelor's degree from Southeast University in year 2000, and I got my Master's degree from Southeast University last month.
13) How do you know this Univ.? University of Maryland is one of the sister universities of Southeast University, and there are many academic intercourse between University of Maryland and my university in Nanjing. I have taken part in some of the intercourses.
14) What is your plan? What will you do after graduation? My favorite choice is to come back to China and join my current research group in Southeast University. I want to be an expert in my research field.（只是我的第二选择，如不问，则不说I want to find a leading position in East Image Company in Shanghai。Topic。）
（如果针对第一个计划提问）I have told you I will study bioimaging and image processing for food quality and safety. This field has a bright future in China in next 10 years.（先说有广阔前景）
My Chinese advisor also realizes this trend, and he told me he wants to use the image processing techniques into the field of food quality and safety. He plans to found a new research group focusing on that research. So he hopes I can come back to work with him. I have my advisor's supporting letter with me, would you like to see it?（这段说明我回实验室的理由）
（下面这段是对国内广阔前景的展开，见机行事）You know China has a very huge population, so providing enough food with high quality and safety is one of the most important things we should concern. But not like in the U.S. there are many bioimaging machines for the farmers to inspect the quality of the food they produce; in China many farmers only use their own eyes and hands to inspect their production. Obviously it is inefficient, even incorrect some times. So developing some automatic bioimaging equipments for the food quality and safety is quite promising in China. Meanwhile this research is strongly supported by our government (You know the newly elected premier Wen Jiabao told our people, the new government will pay more attention to the research and development of the Chinese agriculture). It is obviously that market about this research field is also quite promising. That's why I want to come back.（下面的内容是针对我前面所说的第二选择）
East Image Company is one of the important imaging equipments manufacturers in China. It has very good relationship with my lab in Southeast University; actually my lab is one of the most important research bases of East Image Company, and my advisor Prof. Luo Limin was invited as the chief expert of this company. Every year the company provides a large amount of funding to our lab for the research. Now many students from our lab work there. I hope I can set a research department for food safety and quality in this company after I come back. I am confident I can do many creative jobs there.
15) Give me three reasons that you will come back to China?（关于这个问题的详细原因我已经在14问中解释了。）
1. I will come back to China and join my current research group in Southeast University, and my Chinese advisor welcomes me to come back to work with him. I have his supporting letter with me, would you like to see it?2. What I will study in the USA has a bright future and a huge market in China than in US, also our government strongly supports it.3. I am the only child of my parents, and they spent too much time and energy on me. I love them, and I think it's my duty to take care of them when they are old. Also I have many good friends in China. The very good relation among us means much to me.
16) Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back? Really? I don't know. Maybe different people have different ideas. But to me, I want to come back definitely. Just like I have told you, there are many reasons for me to come back.
17) Why do you choose this Univ.? Because it suits my research interests.Because University of Maryland has a very good academic reputation especially in its Engineering, and the university ranks very top among the universities in the USA. Also the specialty I will study in this University matches my research interest very well.
18) Why do you like your major? It is because image processing is a very interesting area, and it is a bridge between the abstract algorithms and colorful images. The image processing techniques can be used for people's health and food safety. They have a promising future in China in the next 10 years, and now the technology for food safety and quality has drawn much governmental attention in our country.
19) Why do you want to study in USA? USA has the most advanced education system in the world. I can learn the most advanced knowledge and technology from USA. It is very useful for me to realize my career goal. So Pursuing a PhD degree in the USA is the best choice for me.
20) Why do you want to pursue a doctor's degree? It just likes a fan of mountaineering who almost reaches the top of the mountain, then it is impossible for him to give up the chance in front of him to get to the peak. I am a kind of this mountaineer; the only difference is he loves mountaineering, while I love studying in my major.（用一个比喻引起VO的注意）
Furthermore, in my research area, the PhD study in University of Maryland can be very helpful for me to achieve my long-term career goal.（如可以继续说，则引出归国计划，归国计划见问题14,15）
I have already received my Master's degree, and I am very glad to continue my study in my research area.（下面一段的同为什么喜欢这个专业，同时引出专业在中国的前景，这里可以不说。）
Image processing is a magnificent field, and it is a bridge between the abstract algorithms and colorful images. The image processing techniques can be used to the fields of people's health or food safety. They are very useful. Also they have a promising future in China in the next 10 years.
21) Why do you receive financial aid from this Univ.? I think it is because my strong academic background. And my research matches the interest of my future advisor.
22) What is the difficult class do you have? Some classes of social science, because I don't like them.
23) Do you want your wife to go with you? No, I don't have a wife.
24) Why do you change your major? No, I don't change my major.
25) What's the difference between your major now and the major in USA?They are almost the same as each other. They both use image processing techniques for benefit of the people. The only difference is the objects they work with. I mean in Southeast University, we use image processing techniques for people' health, while in University of Maryland we use these techniques for food safety and quality.
