When I applied for a tourist visa at the American Embassy, I was asked if I could speak English. How to answer?

Pay attention when interviewing, if it is not business or study, and English is not very good, use Chinese. Because the main purpose of the interview is not to examine oral English, but to examine the motivation of going abroad. Therefore, applicants with poor oral English don't have to panic when interviewing visa officers, but if you think your English is good enough, talking with visa officers in English can be accused of translation problems leading to visa failure.
