1. Do you work or are you a student? _ Presently, I am a student. I have been studyng at Beijing University for three year. I will graduate in one year.

2. What subject are you studying? _ I am studying Accounting. Along with Accounting, I am also majoring in business finances.

3. Why did you choose to study that? _ I chose to study that because my father has a business and I want to work with him. I plan to take over company finances.
+ Options:
It's practical and useful in geting a job because many companies are interested in hiring students with a background in international business.
I've always liked reading, especially novels, history, literature. That's why I chose Humanitics.
I didn't choose my major, I just went with the flow. I was talking maths courses left and right and I found myself majoring in Applied Maths with a Computer Science option.
It was the easiest decision ever. I chose it because I have passion for it.

4. Do you like your university? _ It's OK. I am not thrilled (vui mừng) with my university but I am getting the education that I wanted.
I'm in university and it's awesome! I've never had so much fun or learned so much about a topic, or most importantly, learned so much about myself. I've met so many great and diverse (adj-khác) people and been in situations that I never though I'd ever be in. I wouldn't trade my years at university in for anything.

5. Is there anything you don't like about your studies? _ Basically studying, just joking. Some of my studies I just have to take for the credits and that gets a little tedious (adj-tẻ nhạt, buồn chán) sometimes.

6. Which subject do you like the most? _ I like Math. For some reasion math comes easy to me. It could be because my father was a math teacher. (Right now my favorite subject is Physics. I have an absolutely amazing Prof, and I love the class. I am learning so much!)

7. Which subject do you think will be most useful to you after you leave university? _ I suppose my English class will be the most useful since I am planning on studying futher on Australia. Probably 90% of what I've learned I will never use though.

8. Do you often get together with your classmates after classes? _ I get together with my classmates as much as I can after class. Getting together with them really helps to relieve the presure for me.

9. What was your favorite subject in high school? _ Well, I think my favorite subject in high school was art. One reason was I sat next to the prettiest girl in the class.
(History was always enjoyable for me. Math was highly dependent on teacher, but I typically enjoyed physics and chemistry. Really, it was teachers more than the subject that made a subject unpleasent.)

10. Which school subject do you think is most useful for people in adult life? _ Any subject having to do with communication would be the most useful when you graduate from school. Geography is also a subject that is nice to know, if you are going to travel. You would want to know what country you are in and which country is north and which is south.
