Greetings Ms. Cheng- Thank you for your call today. We enjoyed speaking with you. All of us think you have the proper intellectual curiosity for a Masters student, sound academic background, and you would bring good skills to the lab. At the same time, the students and I are genuinely concerned that your current level of comprehension of spoken technical English may put you at academic risk (it would be difficult for you in classes), especially in classes without a formal text book. The students were also concerned about your ability to be an effective teaching assistant with your current English skills. To be clear, a teaching assistant teaches laboratory sections of courses such as general biology, anatomy, physiology, and biology for non-biology majors. I do not have any other students in the lab who speak Chinese and who could be of help so I am concerned about your ability to succeed under these conditions. I will speak with several faculty members who may have some suggestions. It may be better for you to postpone going to an American graduate school until after you have additional English language training. I will let you know what I learn. You probably should go to the international student office website and look at what they say about language that might help you gain a better grasp of technical English. Here is one of their web sites. http://www.china-nafsa.aief-usa.org/english/english.htm There are other links that may help as well. ...................................................................... 我想問是不是代表他還在考慮中.....?? 不過他的建議還蠻實在的 我爸是建議我跟他說 我不需要幫忙 我可以自己照顧自己 上課我可以借筆記 我會做好課前預習 就算全部是美國人也沒關係 我上課前會準備好課程 --
