- What can you tell me about yourself?
这个问题并不是要你介绍你的简历,老师是希望你能通过一件小事,了解你的处理方式,从而看出你的性格、优势,与哪位老师比较匹配等。
参考回答:"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."
- What is your greatest strength?
这个问题是想要了解你对你的专业、对你的学校,包括对以后的研究生生活的自信程度,让他们看到你作为研究生的优势。
参考回答:I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I'd 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.
- What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?
毕业五年之后的规划,这个问题你可以通过与学长学姐聊天或者同其他已经毕业的学生交流看看他们的做法,结合自身的优势,给出你的回答。
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. - Why do you choose this major?
为什么选择报考专业?这个问题是老师比较喜欢的一个问题。需要你表达自己对专业的喜欢,现在开始可以多查看相关的专业文章,对专业术语了解清楚,在复试中会有加分的机会。
I major in International Trade and have great interest in it. International trade currently become increasingly important in the world of globalization, and those companies desirous to file themselves into the international market and have to confront plenty of issues. Thus, corresponding emphasis have been put on these issues in this field. But during my college study and internship period, I have found I have many to study, so it is very necessary and urgent for me to grasp firmly and comprehensively the relevant knowledge of international trade. That is why I chose this major. Now I look forward to enriching my scope in this field in our university. - Why do you change your major?
为什么跨专业?这是跨专业考研同学几乎必背的一个问题,多说报考专业的未来发展,少说原专业不合适。
I show keen interest in the (报考专业) studies, 报考方向 in particular, even though my major is 原专业. You might ask me why, well, let's tell you like this. 原专业 are too abstract, full of terms, far away from the real world. I don't mean that 原专业 is useless. But 报考专业 studies seem more challenging, and promising for my future career. My plan is like this: start my work in a 相关行业 firm and work as a 专业人士 so that I can try my best to help the clients, who they're and where they're from, whether they're rich or poor. That's why I made up my mind to change my major and applied for this law school.
开场白比较简单,一般就是一个简单的问候和寒暄。如:Good morning,dear distinguished teachers! I am very glad to be here for this interview.其中要特别注意要与面试老师打招呼。
第二点关于姓名,毕业院校,所学专业部分不是自我介绍的重点,同学们在讲这部分的时间基本就是面试老师们浏览个人简历的时间,这部分按部就班介绍就可以了。参考表达:I am Li Ming. My English name is Jacky Lee. You can call me that if you’d like to. I am majored in Electronic Science and Technology, I will graduate from Xidian University in this coming July.
考研原因几乎是每个导师都会关心的问题,因此最好把这个问题就放在自我介绍里面说了。这部分的内容我们务必要让考官感到我们选择这个专业是经过深思熟虑的,是一个理性的选择而不是一时冲动。通常我们可以从以下三个方面来回答。
兴趣,即强调对所报考的专业怀有极大的兴趣(have significant interest in…)。如果本科就读的专业与报考的专业一致,则可以说明想继续深造(further education)的愿望。如果不一致,则要说明报考专业对你的吸引力 (…appeals to/attracts me a lot)。
优势,即强调研究生相对于本科生在知识、学术方面的优势,如:知识面更广(wider knowledge),学术更专业(more professional),眼界更广阔等(broaden one’s horizon)。
益处,即强调考研对你的未来的积极影响(have a positive effect on…),可以从求职、职业规划、人生经历等方面入手进行说明。可参考的词汇、短语如下:be helpful, contribute to, be beneficial to, be conductive to, be a definite advantage, become a strong point when it comes to… 等等。
对于那些在职考生或有工作经验的考生来说,考官乐于知道他们为什么(放弃工作而)重新学习。考生可以直言在工作发现某些知识或技能很重要,希望能通过学习在这些方面进行提高 (In my work, I found … is rather important. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. So I choose to go back to school and improve myself。)。
然后,可以在自我介绍中展现自己对未来的规划,其目的在于向老师们展示自己对时间、学习、人生有一定计划性和掌控能力。参考回答:I plan to concentrate on study and research in this field in my graduate time. And I hope I can form a systematic view of ... and make a solid foundation for future profession after three years study here. After graduation. I would like to work as a .... I hope that in five years after graduation, I can....
最后,要表达出对来目标院校就读的强烈意愿。并给出一个明确的结束的信号。例如:I would be very honored if you could grant me the opportunity to study in this university. That’s all about my self introduction. Thank you!
