Candy: I guess so.... So what kind of program should I apply to? 我猜是吧……所以我应该申请哪种课程呢？

Ian: Probably something with a focus on hospitality management. You seem like
a...hospitable person. What was your GMAT score? 大概是着重在接待管理的课程吧。你似乎是个……挺好客的人。你的GMAT考几分呢？

Candy: Keep reading! I start talking about my personal qualities in the next part. 继续念！我下面一段开始要讲个人特质了。

Ian: “I am a happy person who loves to travel. Disneyland is my dream home.” And Minnie Mouse is my dream girlfriend! No, no, no. I don't think this will work. ‘我喜欢旅行，是个快乐的人。迪斯尼乐园是我向往的家。’米妮还是我的梦中情人咧！不，不，不！我觉得这样行不通。

Candy: Well, why don't you write it yourself then? 喔，那你怎么不自己写写看?
