三、英語面試精彩75問
考研英語面試中,自我介紹以后老師就會開始問一些問題。這里列出一些常見的問題,考生要結(jié)合自己的經(jīng)歷和見解來認真準備答案,讓自己回答的問題和自我介紹融為一體,否則很容易被考官抓住把柄,問個沒完,導致因緊張而露出馬腳。
(一) 考前準備
考生應提前準備,適當練習。
首先要練習見面問候語,如Good morning / afternoon, dear professors, I am XXX(Nice to meet you)。還要練習告別用語,如Thanks for your time / Thank you for giving me such a chance, I hope to see you again and soon。
另外,還需要精心準備自我介紹。基本上每個院校每個專業(yè)的口試中都會涉及這一方面。考官其實是要借此了解你的口頭表達能力以及你報名表之外的一些信息。自我介紹時間以2~3分鐘為宜。思路要清楚,要突出重點,口語盡量流利。
1.自我介紹的主體內(nèi)容
(1) 姓名。介紹自己姓名時,發(fā)音一定要準(南方考生要多加注意)。
(2) 年齡。年齡可以跟在姓名后帶過,例如I am XXX,25 years old。
(3) 單位。對于原來的院校、專業(yè),注意把原來學校的英文名稱、專業(yè)的英文名稱弄清楚(尤其是跨校、跨專業(yè)的學生);對于所屬的公司、職位,注意將公司、職位/職稱的英文名稱弄明白。
(4) 性格、能力,愛好等。可以著重強調(diào)你的個性對你報考的專業(yè)有何積極的作用。如果報考的是學術(shù)性的專業(yè),可以說自己細心(careful, detail-oriented)、條理分明(logical)、踏實(steady)等;如果是研究性、應用性更強一點的專業(yè),可以說自己負責(responsible)、可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。
(5) 對報考的專業(yè)有興趣(be interested in/be fascinated with/be obsessed with…)。可適當舉出一些例子,如經(jīng)常看相關(guān)的書籍、論文、文章、新聞等。在職考生可以強調(diào)知識教育對工作的影響,如: In my work, I find it necessary to broaden my horizons in communication. That's why I long for entering your prestigious university.結(jié)束時可以用說:That's all about me / Well, that's who I am. Thanks for your attention.
2.未來規(guī)劃,如學習規(guī)劃(研究生以后的方向)、人生規(guī)劃(短期、長期)等。
3.跨專業(yè)問題
老師通常會對跨專業(yè)的學生問這樣一個問題:為什么會選擇這個專業(yè)?不要千篇一律地回答只說“我對這個專業(yè)感興趣”,可以把每個人都會談到的原因簡要地羅列一下,對具有自己特色的原因詳細闡述,讓老師印象深刻。
4.專業(yè)知識
在英語口試中(非英語專業(yè)),如果老師提問專業(yè)問題,通常不會指望你能進行流利的、專業(yè)性強的闡述,但是一些專業(yè)術(shù)語的英文說法還是有必要了解一下的。
5.提出問題
在面試快結(jié)束的時候,一般老師都會問,你有沒有什么要問的(Do you have any questions to ask? )。一般不適合說“I don't have any question”。你可以問考官一兩個你關(guān)心的問題。
(二) 常見問題
在每一年的面試中都會有很多類似的問題,這些問題看起來很平常,卻有很多陷阱,一不小心就會被考官抓住小辮子。如何回答這些看起來很平常的問題,是很有藝術(shù)性的。在這里一共提供了75個常見的各類問題,并進行了詳細的分析。
第一部分 傳統(tǒng)面試問題(Sample Traditional Interview Questions)
1. What can you tell me about yourself? (關(guān)于你自己,你能告訴我些什么?)
如果面試沒有安排自我介紹的時間,這是一個必問的問題。考官并不希望你大談你的個人歷史,他是在尋找有關(guān)你性格、資歷、志向和生活動力的線索,來判斷你是否適合讀研或者MPAcc。下面是一個積極、正面的回答:“在高中我參加各種競爭性體育活動,并一直努力提高各項運動的成績。大學期間,我曾在一家服裝店打工,我發(fā)現(xiàn)我能輕而易舉地將東西推銷出去。銷售固然重要,但對我來說,更重要的是要確信顧客能夠滿意。不久便有顧客返回那家服裝店點名讓我為他們服務。我很有競爭意識,力求完美對我很重要。”
In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best.
2. What would you like to be doing five years after graduation? (在畢業(yè)以后5年內(nèi)你想做些什么?)你要清楚你實際上能勝任什么。你可以事先和其他的MPAcc交流一番。問問他們在畢業(yè)后在公司的頭5年都做了些什么。可以這樣回答:“我希望能在我的職位上盡力做好工作,由于在同一領(lǐng)域工作的許多人都被提為區(qū)域負責人,所以我亦有此打算。”
I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also.
3. What is your greatest strength? (你最突出的優(yōu)點是什么?)
這是很多面試考官喜歡問的一個問題,這是你“展示自己”的最佳機會,不要吹噓自己或過于自負,但要讓考官知道你相信自己,了解自己的優(yōu)點,如:“我認為我最大的優(yōu)點是能夠執(zhí)著地盡力把事情辦好。當做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的預想時,我會有一種真正的成就感。我給自己定了一些高目標。比如說,我要成為出色的畢業(yè)生。盡管在大學一年級時我啟動慢了些,但最終我以優(yōu)秀論文完成了學業(yè)。”
I feel that I can stick to things to get them done. I will feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I've planned. I've set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year, I made up for it by doing an honor's thesis.
4. What is your greatest weakness? (你最大的弱點是什么?)
你不應該說你沒有任何弱點,以此來回避這個問題。每個人都有弱點,最佳策略是承認你的弱點,但同時表明你在予以改進,并有克服弱點的計劃。可能的話,你可以說出一項可能會給公司帶來好處的弱點,如可說:“我是一個完美主義者。工作做得不漂亮,我是不會撒手的。”
I'm such a perfectionist that I will not stop until a job is well done.
5. How do you feel about your progress to date? ”(對于你至今所取得的進步你是怎樣看的?)絕不要對你以前的所作所為表示過分謙虛或驕傲,可答:“我認為我在學校表現(xiàn)不錯。事實上,有好幾門功課我的成績居全班第一。在某公司實習時,我獲得了該公司數(shù)年來給予其雇員的好幾項最高評價。”
I think I did well in school. In fact, in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class. As an intern for the ×× Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.
