研究生复试英语面试注意问题.doc

研究生复试英语面试注意问题一. 了解报考院校专业往年的英语口试形式各院校各专业的复试口试形式各不相同，一定要对症下药。可以通过询问以前考过的师兄、师姐们来了解复试口试的形式，可能的话，了解一下口试中常出现的问题。总的来说，复试口试有这样几种类型：自我介绍;读某篇英文文章，然后进行翻译或回答相关问题;抽到某个话题进行演讲、阐述;两三人就同一个话题进行讨论、辩论(多人一起复试的情况);自由问答(可能是专业或与专业相关的时事热点问题，也可能只是了解个人情况)。二. 了解导师/考官首先必须了解导师在该专业的研究方向，可能的话，看看他们写的书，因为在专业问题上，导师一般都会往自己研究方向上靠拢;其次，了解导师在口试中常问的一些问题及习惯(这个又得求助于师兄师姐们了);最后，可以给导师打电话，让他/她知道你是谁，有你这么一个考生参加复试。三. 对以下几个方面要多加注意，适当练习几遍1、见面问候语：Good morning / afternoon, dear professors. I am XXX. (Nice to meet you。)。告别用语：Thanks for your time. / Thank you for giving such a chance. I hope to see you again and soon。2、 自我介绍篇(重点)。基本上每个院校每个专业的口试中都会涉及这一方面。考官其实是要借此了解你的口头表达能力以及你的报名表之外的一些信息。自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为宜。思路要清楚，要突出重点，口语尽量流利(不要太流利了，有背诵之嫌)。1) 考官要求你作自我介绍时，不要用let me introduce myself briefly / please allow me to introduce myself to you等句子，重复、啰嗦。开头可以只用一句话引入：Dear professors, I feel so glad to meet all of you here.然后就可以进入主题，介绍姓名、年龄等等。2) 自我介绍的主体内容 姓名。介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。 原来的院校、专业。注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚(尤其是跨校、跨专业的学生)。所属的公司、职位。注意：在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。 性格、能力。可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何积极的作用。如果报考的是学术性的专业，可以说自己细心(carefully，detail-oriented)、条理分明(logical)、踏实(steady)等;如果是研究性、应用性更强一点的专业，可以说自己负责(responsible)、可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。其他的一些表示性格、能力的形容词有：active, aggressive(有进取心的), adaptable, amicable(友好的), analytical(善于分析的), cooperative, creative, disciplined, dutiful, energetic, faithful, gentle, independent(有主见的), innovative, motivated, modest, objective, precise, punctual, precise(一丝不苟的), temperate等等。在职考生或有过工作经验的考生还可以强调一下你的工作成绩，如：As the assistant to the General Manger of XXX Company, I have helped to negotiate a $200,000 deal for the corporation. 爱好。All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. 除了强调你的学习的重视，同时也要避免给考官一种“书呆子”的感觉。一般可以从体育、音乐、电影等方面来说，同时要简单说明这些爱好对你的积极意义(build my body, relax myself, open my mind);注意避免提到那些可能引起考官反感的爱好，如：playing computer games，watching TV等。 你对报考的专业有兴趣(be interested in/be fascinated with/be obsessed with)，可适当举出一些例子，如经常看相关的书籍、论文、文章、新闻等。在职考生可以强调知识教育对工作的影响： In my work, I find it necessary to broaden my horizons in communication. Thats why I long for entering your prestigious university.3) 结束时可以用说：Thats all about me. / Well, thats who I am. Thanks for your attention.3、关于自己家庭、家乡、原来的学校的一些情况，尤其要注意原来学校的英文名称。1) 家庭。需要注意的是，考官并不是为了做人口调查而提出这个问题的，所以应该避免流水账似地介绍家庭成员;要尽量说明家人(尤其是父母)对你造成哪些方面(性格、职业规划、做事风格等)良好的影响。可以参考以下句式结构：Just like my father, I am especially interested in history. / Though my father is an ordinary worker, his responsible attitude towards work has a great influence on me.2) 家乡。正所谓“一方水土养育一方人”，考官实际上是想从你对家乡的介绍中找出有关你性格、志向的线索。可以从历史、历史人物、著名景点、独特风俗或特产等方面来简单介绍，注意要表达热爱家乡的情感。3) 学校。如果是本校考生的话，在自我介绍中就可以点到(拉近跟考官的关系)。如果是外校，考官通常会问：Why did you choose our university? 那么我们就可以说说它与报考院校之间的异同，然后说明为什么你选择这个学校(I do love the atmosphere in your university. It is full of youthful spirits.);要注意的是：一定要说明你对在原来的院校接受教育心存感激之情appreciation(从好的方面说一说)，着重强调希望能被录取，表达自己坚定的决心、展望一下未来。4、 未来规划学习规划(研究生以后的方向)，人生规划(短期、长期)5、 意外情况没听清，你应该怎样要求老师再说一遍(Pardon?/ Sorry, I cant follow you. / Sorry, I lost you. Can you repeat that question again?);需要时间思考、整理思路的时候，不要出现沉默，可以用一些hmm, err, well等语气词;不会回答某些问题时，千万不要不懂装懂，可以明确地告诉老师你不知道(Sorry, but I have no idea about it。)。6、跨专业问题老师通常会对跨专业的学生问这样一个问题：为什么会选择这个专业?不要前篇一律地回答只说“我对这个专业感兴趣”，可以把每个人都会谈到的原因简要地罗列一下，对具有自己特色的原因则可大谈特谈，详细地阐述自己的观点，让老师印象深刻。7、专业知识在英语口试中(非英语专业)，如果老师提问专业问题，通常不会指望你能进行流利的、专业性强的阐述;但是一些专业术语的英文说法还是有必要了解一下的。8、提出问题在面试快结束的时候，一般老师都会问，你有没有什么要问的(Do you have any questions to ask?)。一般不适合说“I dont have any question。”可以问考官一两个你关心的问题。荟萃精品11条：考研复试英语自我介绍不再愁 自我介绍英语,英文自我介绍Sample1:My name is _.

Good morning! may I introduce myself .2. I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. Im peter white, my NO is (北大清华等学校参加面试的考生很多，可能对考生有一个编号，说一下自己的编号显得很职业，也很正式。)二、作自我介绍成长经历(making a self-introduction developing history)有很多学校要求做一个自我介绍，这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。考官是要在你的介绍中寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA。你可以先介绍一下成长的经历，出生地和毕业学校等内容。在这一部分要介绍的有些特色，让老师在听几十个人流水帐式的介绍中增加一点乐趣，就权且当作MBA人际关系管理的第一个挑战吧!I come from *,the capital of *Province. I graduated from the * department of *University in July ,1997. (很简单的一句话，一定要发音准确!要把毕业学校的英文准确名字搞清楚了。)你可以借光一下家乡的名人，可以用这句高水平的话，展示高超你高超的口语。You know, there is a saying that “The greatness of a man lends a glory to a place”. I think the city really deserves it.另外在介绍性格和爱好的时候，适合把家庭介绍结合在一起，可以说父母给了你哪些方面良好的影响。不要流水帐似的介绍家庭成员。可以这么说:Just like my father, I am open-minded ,quick in thought and very fond of history. Frequently I exchange ideas with my family during super. In addition , during my college years, I was once the chairman of the Student Union. These work have urged me develop active and responsible characters.在这里给出描述个人品质常用词汇的中英文对照，可以参考。able 有才干的，能干的 adaptable 适应性强的 active 主动的，活跃的aggressive 有进取心的 ambitious 有雄心壮志的 amiable 和蔼可亲的 amicable 友好的 analytical 善于分析的 apprehensive 有理解力的aspiring 有志气的，有抱负的 audacious 有冒险精神的 capable 有能力的，有才能careful 办理仔细的 candid 正直的 competent 能胜任的constructive 建设性的 cooperative 有合作精神的 creative 富创造力的dedicated 有奉献精神的 dependable 可靠的 diplomatic 老练的，有策disciplined 守纪律的 dutiful尽职的 well-educated 受过良好教育的efficient 有效率的 energetic 精力充沛的 expressivity 善于表达faithful 守信的，忠诚的 frank 直率的，真诚的 generous 宽宏大量的genteel 有教养的 gentle 有礼貌的 humorous 有幽默 impartial 公正的 independent 有主见的 industrious 勤奋的ingenious 有独创性的 motivated 目的明确的 intelligent 理解力强的learned 精通某门学问的 logical 条理分明的 methodical 有方法的modest 谦虚的 objective 客观的 precise 一丝不苟的 punctual 严守时刻的 elastic 实事求是的 responsible 负责的sensible 明白事理的 sporting 光明正大的 steady 踏实的 systematic有系统的 purposeful 意志坚强的 sweet-tempered性情温和的temperate 稳健的 tireless 孜孜不倦的三、作自我介绍职业发展(making a self-introduction career development)这是很关键的一部分，也是MBA考官会重点考察的一部分。要把工作经历和MBA的学习以及职业发展方向作为一个整体来谈，让老师感到你选择MBA是一个理性的选择而不是一时冲动，选择MBA是职业发展中的一个必然选择，而不是因为找不到工作。你可以用这些句型: 1、In the past years, Ive worked at IBM as a software engineer. In my work, I found communication and management is very important. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. So I choose MBA! if I am given a chance to study MBA in this famous University, I will stare no effort to master a good command of communication and management skill.(在过去的几年中，我作为一个软件工程师在IBM工作。在工作中，我发现交流和管理非常的重要。我一直认为一个人很容易落后，如果不持续学习的话，所以我选择了MBA!如果我有机会在这个著名的大学学习MBA，我会不遗余力的掌握沟通和管理的技能。)Sample 10: 复试英文自我介绍Good morning professors, First of all, please allow me to express my appreciation for the opportunity that you give me to join this interview.My name is *, English name Felix.
