你马上就要硕士毕业了吧？将来有什么打算？ 我想出国读博士，一直在准备办签证需要的材料。 现在材料准备得怎么样了？ 成绩证明和护照已经准备好了，另外，还跟国外的大学取得了联系，填写了报名表格。 还应该有国外大学给你的邀请信吧？他们把邀请信传真给你了吗？ 没有啊，下个星期我就要去使馆办签证了，这可怎么办？ 这可是个大问题，我也不太清楚。我帮你查一下学校的电话号码，你打电话问一下吧。

You're about to graduate with your master's, right? What are your plans for the future? I want to go abroad to study for a PhD, and I've been preparing the materials needed to apply for a visa. How are the materials coming along now? The transcript and passport are ready. In addition, contact has been made with a university abroad, and the application form has been filled out. There should also be an invitation letter from a foreign university, right? Did they fax you the invitation letter? No, I'm going to the embassy next week to apply for a visa. What should I do? This is a big problem, and I'm not too sure either. I'll look up the school's phone number for you; you can call and ask.
