The next section of the script delves into the vocabulary related to visa
applications. It explains terms like 'sponsoring,' which means taking financial

responsibility for a visa applicant, 'invitation letter,' a formal document inviting
someone to visit a country, and 'ties,' which are connections to one's home country
ensuring their return. The script also covers 'financially independent,' indicating the

applicant's ability to support themselves without external financial assistance, and
'assets,' which are valuable possessions owned by the applicant. These terms are
crucial for understanding the visa application process and the dialogue that

follows.

The script transitions into a practical aspect of visa interviews, discussing
common questions applicants may face. It suggests strategies for answering

questions about the purpose and duration of the trip to the United States. The hosts
emphasize the importance of being specific and consistent with the information
provided in the application. They also highlight the critical nature of the question

about 'ties to the home country,' which aims to assure the interviewer that the
applicant intends to return home. The dialogue example illustrates how an
applicant might respond to these questions during an interview.

In the final part of the script, the hosts wrap up the lesson and invite listeners
to share their experiences with visa applications. They encourage user interaction

by asking for comments, questions, and suggestions on their website. The hosts
express their readiness to respond and engage with the audience, fostering a
community around the topic of visa applications. The script also includes an audio
review section where key vocabulary words are repeated in sentences to reinforce

learning.

This segment of the script is an audio review that focuses on reinforcing the

vocabulary learned throughout the lesson. It provides sentences for each term,
allowing listeners to hear the words in context. This practice helps to solidify the
understanding and usage of terms like 'sponsor,' 'invitation letter,' 'tie,' 'evidence,'

'financially independent,' 'assets,' 'Grant,' 'Visa officer,' 'resident permit,' 'Embassy,'
and 'application form.' The audio review serves as a recap and a listening exercise
to enhance language acquisition.
