And today we're going to be talking about a very special topic.

今天，我們將討論一個非常特別的話題。

This topic was actually suggested by one of our listeners.

這個話題其實是一位聽眾提出來的。

So keep those comments coming because we want to create lessons that you need, that you want.

Today's lesson is about applying for a visa.

And specifically, it's about a visa interview.

具體來說，是關於簽證面試的。

As you all probably know, when you apply for a visa, especially for the US, you have an interview.

大家可能都知道，在申請簽證時，尤其是申請美國簽證時，需要進行面試。

And that's what we're going to be talking about today.

這就是我們今天要討論的話題。

So before we jump into the dialogue, let's take a look at vocabulary preview.

是以，在開始對話之前，我們先來看看詞彙預覽。

So a visa is an official document that you get in your passport that allows you to travel legally to a country.

是以，簽證是您護照上的一份官方文件，允許您合法前往一個國家。

So with this document, you can go into a country.

是以，有了這份文件，你就可以進入一個國家。

是以，我們有不同類型的簽證。

Today we're going to be talking about a B2 visa.

Other countries may have different classifications for their visas, but B2 is for the United States.

其他國家的簽證可能有不同的分類，但 B2 是針對美國的。

So Marco, we use a tourist visa when we want to be a tourist and just travel in the US.

所以，馬可，當我們想在美國旅遊時，就會使用旅遊簽證。

Well, you can have a temporary resident visa.

An F1 is for foreign exchange students who go and live in the States maybe for a year or do a MBA for two years or three years.

F1 是為去美國生活一年或讀兩年或三年 MBA 的外國交換生準備的。

You can also get a J1 visa, which is a temporary exchange visitor.  So it could be to maybe do some temporary work for two or three months and then go back to your country.

您還可以獲得 J1 簽證，即臨時交流訪問者簽證。  是以，您可以做兩三個月的臨時工作，然後回國。

So basically, a resident visa allows you to live in that country.

是以，基本上，居民簽證允許您在該國生活。

Yeah, you can live in that country legally for a determined time.

是的，你可以在那個國家合法生活一段時間。

好了，讓我們聽聽我們的對話。

In this dialogue, we're going to hear two people, a visa officer and a person who's applying for the visa.

在這段對話中，我們將聽到兩個人的對話，一個是簽證官，另一個是申請簽證的人。

Now, the person who's applying for the visa has an accent, right?

現在，申請簽證的人有口音，對嗎？

But this is really good practice for helping you to understand people with different accents.

但這確實是幫助您理解不同口音的人的好方法。

So let's listen to the dialogue and then we'll come back and explain all the great vocabulary.
