Consulate is asking for more info on travel?

I just got a reply from my initial visa application (tourism visa) to the chinese consulate in nyc. Their only feedback was:

Rejected and to be modified

Reply from Embassy/Consulate:请明确来华目的。

Has anyone gotten this response before? I don't see which field I could have put more information about the purpose of my travel, so I'm not sure how I can modify the form to get them what I want. Also, I am going to China to intern at a small NGO which said that previous international interns (they have had quite a few) just applied for a tourist visa since they do not typically provide visa sponsorship documents. Should I add a pdf to "supporting documents" describing this? I am a bit concerned since there is a visa type that specifies volunteering/study activities.
