考研英语复试问题及应试方法
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、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
① 姓名。介绍自己姓名时,发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。
② 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。
③ 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。
④ 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.
⑤ 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。
⑥ 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. That’s why I long for entering your prestigious university.
3) 结束时可以用说:That’s all about me. / Well, that’s 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 can’t 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 don’t have any question。”可以问考官一两个你关心的问题。
考研英语第一枪已经在今年1月初打响,面临这即将而来的第二枪,各位同学,你们上好膛了么?这里,我们将陪伴你继续作战,以取得革命的最终胜利!
打完第一枪后,很多同学自然而然的松下劲来。一个春节过后,精神也跟身体一样,沉浸在春节的欢乐中,因为――“考研终于结束了,我再也不用去看那让人吐血的英语咯~~”而此时的你,有没有想过:其实你还没有完全脱离英语的苦海,复试时你面临的还有英语听力和口语。此处,复试辅导名师曹先仲老师将一同和同学们探讨如何上好这么一膛子弹。
听力牌
复试的听力是困扰很多考生的一个难题。故这段时间要好好准备对英语听力的训练。一直以来,我们习惯性的在做题之前先看一看题目,这无疑也是一种很好的习惯。但是在日常练习的时候,最好还是反过来,即先听后看,多听几遍再去看文字材料。因为听完以后,你的大脑会对于这些语音讯息留下印象,而后在阅读材料的帮助下回更好地提高对于材料的认知。然而,如果你先读材料,而后再去听语音,那么你是在借助自己大脑对于阅读材料的记忆来识别语音信息,但这种方式仅仅适用于听力的时候还是先听后考试时候。也就是说,为了综合提高自己的听力水平,建议同学们现在在准备复试看。切忌先看后听,或者边看边听。
此外,大多数高校都以现有的成型考试为参考。因此,同学们在准备的'时候要对现有的听力考试格外注意,比如可以有针对性的做一些大学英语六级听力、托福听力或者雅思的听力试题。本人之前参加东南大学的英语专业复试时,听力考试就是做一张试卷,试卷形式便是托福和雅思的题型。难度也相当。因为事先准备过托福雅思的考试,所以做起来很是上手。后来了解到还有个别同学的复试听力得了满分。如果实在不愿做题,那不妨收听一下英语新闻,或者看一看经典的英语电影电视,比如《老友记》、《BBC记录中国》、《辛普森的一家》等等。
总之,收听英语新闻和收看英语影视的同时,着重对于英语听力的题目练习,找找做题的感觉。这无疑会对你的英语听力提高产生很好的效果。
口语牌
口语是考研英语复试的另一重头戏。说到口语,估计很多同学都会脑海里涌出这么一句话:My English is poor。同学们,想到是可以想,但复试时候切记不能说出这么一句话,悄悄告诉你:“有些事,咱们自己心里知道就行了”。那么我们在复试时究竟该说些什么呢,又究竟该怎样准备呢?
各学校各专业的复试口语形式各不相同,要对症下药。本人复试时候,口语考试分为两步走。第一步:给你一篇500-600字的短文,让你在3-4分钟内阅读完,期间不可以做笔记,然后跑开短文,自己用3分钟的时间将文章复述一遍。第二步:给你两个话题,这两个话题都是当年炒的比较火的话题,你所要做的是从两个题目中选出一个自己要阐述的,进行2-3分钟的思考,然后表达自己的观点,最后再做的各位评委老师会针对你所说的内容向你提问。
当然,这只是一所学校的复试,而且是针对英语专业的复试,所以不足以用来做广大考生的参考模板,但总体来说,给考生们以下几点建议。
首先,向自己目标院校的学长学姐们了解情况,弄清楚目标院校的复试口语形式是什么样子的,常问的问题有哪些等等。但一般说来,考试的形式多是:自我介绍;读一篇英文文章,而后小组讨论(群面)/自由问答(很有可能是时下的热点问题)。
在准备自我介绍时,需要注意的问题有:你的名字,你原来的毕业院校,你平时的爱好兴趣等,现在所报考的专业,你为什么报考该专业,你对该专业怎样的感兴趣,对当前该专业发展的简短评价,以及你准备以怎样的态度去研究该专业等等。如果可以的话,去找一个英语程度比较好的伙伴或朋友帮忙。毕竟准备好的东西说起来比较流利,更会给考官们留下极好的印象。
口语测试时,考官还有可能会问及你的专业问题。且拿作者本人来说,当时就被问到对英语哪方面感兴趣,为什么?同学们,问题看似简单,但是潜台词是要问你想要学习语言学,翻译,还是文学方面?先说出自己特别感兴趣的方面,再加上一些个人对于这几方面的理解,那么高分就唾手可得了(当然还得口语基本功扎实才行啊)!但是如果你的专业词汇不过关,所要表达的内容表达不出来,那么你现在就可以多准备点专业词汇的英文说法,总结出一个篇章来。也可以在自我介绍部分多说说,如果说得足够流利的话,那么一定会给自己加分的哦!
最后,口语考试的话题选择随机性比较大,要准备好可能会被直接问到或者被拓展提到的话题做好准备。建议同学们可以在关注时事的同时,积累一些关于背景文化知识的阅读素材,这些材料也很有可能会派上用场的!
总之,再难打的仗,也有可以被攻克的那一刻;再难死的敌人也有他的软肋。咱们要做的是提高自己的实力,填充自己的弹药,调整好自己的心态,直面最后一击!
在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题,这些问题看起来很平常,却有很多陷阱,一不小心就会被考官抓主小辫子了。回答这些常见的看起来很平常的问题,是很有艺术的。
传统面试问题(Sample Traditional Interview Questions)
1、“What can you tell me about yourself?” (“关于你自己,你能告诉我些什么?”)
This is not an invitation to give your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character, qualifications, ambitions, and motivations.
这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并不希望你大谈你的个人历史。是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA。
The following is a good example of a positive response. “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.”
下面是一个积极正面回答的好例子:“在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动,并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间,我曾在一家服装店打工,我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要,但对我来说,更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识,力求完美对我很重要。”
2、“What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?”(“在毕业以后5年内你想做些什么?”)
Know what you can realistically accomplish. You can find out by talking to others MBA about what they accomplished in their first five years with a particular company after graduation.
“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.”
你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和其他的MBA交流一番。问问他们在毕业后在公司的头5年都做了些什么。
可以这样回答:“我希望能在我的职位上尽力做好工作,由于在同一领域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人,所以我亦有此打算。”
3. “What is your greatest strength”?“ (”你最突出的优点是什么?“)
这是很多面试考官喜欢问的一个问题。
This is a real opportunity to toot your own horn. Do not brag or get too egotistical, but let the employer know that you believe in yourself and that you know your strengths.
”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.“
这是你”展示自己“的最佳机会,不要吹嘘自己或过于自负,但要让雇主知道你相信自己,你知道自己的优点。
如可答:”我认为我最大的优点是能够执着地尽力把事情办好。当做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的预想时,我会有一种真正的成就感。我给自己定了一些高目标。比如说,我要成为出色的毕业生。尽管在大学一年级时我启动慢了些,但最终我以优等论文完成了学业。
4. “What is your greatest weakness?”(“你最大的弱点是什么?”)
You cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any, everyone has weaknesses.
The best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it. If possible, cite a weakness that will work to the company’s advantage. “I’ m such a perfectionist that I won’t stop until a job is well done.
你不应该说你没有任何弱点,以此来回避这个问题;每个人都有弱点。最佳策略是承认你的弱点,但同时表明你在予以改进,并有克服弱点的计划。
可能的话,你可说出一项可能会给公司带来好处的弱点,如可说:”我是一个完美主义者。工作做得不漂亮,我是不会撒手的。“
5. ”How do you feel about your progress to date?“ (”对于你至今所取得的进步你是怎样看的?“)
Never apologize for what you have done.
”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 X Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.
绝不要对你以前的所作所为表示内疚。
如可答:“我认为我在学校表现不错。事实上,有好几门功课我的成绩居全班第一。”“在某公司实习时,我获得了该公司数年来给予其雇员的好几项最高评价。”

六、其他常见面试问题
概述
1. 新闻听力的材料来源
通常情况下,在复试考研英语中,新闻听力的资料来源于VOA和BBC。那么VOA和BBC的区别是什么呢?
VOA的全称是:Voice of America(美国之声),它是美国的一个广播电台。
BBC的全称是:British Broadcasting Corporation(美国广播公司),它是英国的一家广播电台。
由此可见,VOA和BBC对于考生来说重要的区别就是VOA属于美式英语的发音,而BBC则是英式英语的发音。
2. 语速
新闻听力的语速通常分为慢速、中速和快速三种。不同院校根据各自需求会选取符合自身需求的语速新闻听力进行考察,通常情况下,大部分院校会选择中速听力进行考察。
3. 考察形式
通常情况下,听力考察形式主要分为两种:选择题和填空题。由于新闻听力对于大部分考生来说,较之报告、演讲等其它形式较难,因此在考察的过程中选择题的考查形式比较常见。
选取正确的听力材料英语听力部分
大多数学校都以现有的成熟考试为参考。大家在准备听力复试的过程中,对于现有的成熟英语考试的听力部分一定要重视。要做到在考研复试中对英语听力有针对性的准备,选取正确的听力材料是重中之重。要做到从自己的实际能力出发来选取听力材料,太难或者太简单都不利于考生正确地对自己的听力能力进行评估,正常速度的听力材料即可。如:六级听力、托福听力和雅思听力,在准备的过程中可以有针对性地练习这部分的真题,听力难度可根据自己的实际情况进行由易到难的选择,做到有步骤,有阶段的听力准备。
听力小技巧
1、考生在准备听力复试的过程中,对于现有的成熟英语考试的听力部分一定要重视,比如六级听力、托福听力和雅思听力应该是复习的重点。在复习时可以有针对性地做一些六级、托福或雅思听力的试题。
2、觉得做题太枯燥,收听一下英语新闻,看看迪斯尼的动画片,也是培养语感的好方法。
3、另外,听英语广播和看英语电影也是提高英语听力口语的好方法,在参加复试前这段有限的时间里要尽快熟悉与考试相近的内容。
4、在这段宝贵的时间里,要赶快做点预热的准备,主要是做点听力题,找找做题的节奏和感觉。
听力重要单词
1. nutrition [nu?tr??n] n. 营养,营养学;营养品
“nutrition”在文中指“营养”或“营养学”。认识该单词有利于帮助学生理解文章的核心思想。
2. arrange [??re?nd?] v. 安排;排列;整理;协商
该单词作为动词意义较多,在本文中指“安排”。同学们需要根据不同的语境合理判断该单词的含义。该单词考频较高。
3. emphasis [?emf?s?s] n. 重点;强调;加强语气
该单词为常考词汇。在学术性议论文中经常出现,往往指“强调”某事。注意和动词“emphasize”区分词性。
4. negative [?neɡ?t?v] adj. 负的;消极的;否定的 n. 否定;负数 v. 否定;拒绝
这个词在文章作为形容词“消极的”来使用的。往往形容一件事情所带来的负面影响。
5. affects [bu?st ] n. 感情 v. 影响;喜欢
affects这个单词很重要。往往可以表达一个事物所产生的影响。具体在文章的含义要结合语境分析。
考研复试英语自我介绍注意的问题
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
① 姓名。介绍自己姓名时,发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。
② 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am , 25 years old)。
③ 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。
④ 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 Company, I have helped to negotiate a $200,000 deal for the corporation.
⑤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。
⑥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. That’s why I long for entering your prestigious university.

(一)复试分析1、复试要求复试时间:一般在复试线公布两周后,复试一天,上午笔试,下午面试,经验故事《考研复试要注意的问题》。
2、复试成绩的权重和录取原则复试比例150%—200%.复试总分为300分,包括专业笔试、专业面试和外语听力口语三部分。专业笔试180分,专业面试120分。凡笔试成绩低108分、面试成绩低于72分者,不予录取。总成绩等于初试成绩加复试成绩,有调剂复试的专业,复试成绩为复试总成绩。录取顺序:按总成绩顺序录取;若有调剂复试,按复试总成绩录取(原报专业符合录取要求者优先录取)。
(二)专业课复试指导方案1、复试内容及详解:(1)专业课笔试备考策略:关注热点新闻,关注新媒体最新动态,了解编辑知识。
(2)专业课面试备考策略:看至少一本除专业课教材之外的关于专业课的书籍。
(三)面试注意事项1、礼貌当先、落落大方进门的时候一定要敲门,然后很有礼貌的表示对老师的尊重,鞠躬比较好,或者对着各位老师说声“老师好!”问好的时候一定要用眼神扫一下各位老师,不能就望着一位老师说。因为每一位老师都不希望被忽视,这一点要注意。另外,在进面试室之前一定要先把手机关闭,千万不要出现在面试现场手机响个不停的尴尬局面。如果真的在面试过程中出现没有意料到的尴尬局面,在面试结束后一定要向老师表达歉意。
仪表庄重,严肃会给老师留下良好的第一印象。在穿着方面,男生应该尽量穿西服或者比较正式的服装,女生千万不要穿紧身衣或者短裙,打扮得体,展现最真实的一面。
2、态度诚恳、谈吐清晰专业面试的时候一定要诚实,不会的时候就诚实的说自己不是很了解,把自己所了解的尽量说出来。因此一定要态度诚恳,实事求是。在复试之前,一定要明白自己在紧张的时候,有哪些动作,然后把它戒除掉。
因为每个人,在紧张时候都会有自己的行为动作,小动作,比如紧张的时候,会搓手或者揪耳朵之类的这种动作,然后很多人是很不雅的,所以你一定要了解自己的这种下意识动作是什么?然后再面试之前要训练自己,让自己努力克服掉。
在英语面试的时候,如果是自己口述而不是老师问问题的话,应该尽量把自己的英语介绍材料浓缩,语速千万不要太快。如果你语速太快而且句式复杂的话,会给老师一种表现太过的感觉,这里的意思不是说老师不愿意听到学生很好的表达能力。关键是在老师面前说话要说的清楚明白,让老师有很好的印象。还有要表现的尽量谦逊一些,再怎样谦逊,老师是不太会介意的。
北师大新闻传播学专业硕士不太重视英语成绩,并且不计入总分,只是作为参考成绩,所以不用紧张。不管面试是否严格控制,考生对下面几个问题一定要认真准备,并形成一套属于自己的表达框架:一是自我介绍,如来自哪里,毕业学校、所学专业、毕业论文课题、业余爱好、家庭基本情况等信息。
二是做好用英语定义和解释自己所学专业的准备。口语测试时,老师有可能就本专业展开话题,考查考生用英语讲述事物的能力。因此考生对此要有所准备,先用一些自己比较熟悉的句型和词汇将答案组织起来,再用一些更精确的不经常用的句型和词汇来替换,提高语言质量,让考官感觉表述地道,有利于获得好成绩。
3、专业课面试拓展思维面试一般有两个环节,第一个环节抽题回答,如果抽到自己非常不熟悉的题目,可以要求重新再抽一次;第二个环节,老师提问,一般先做自我介绍,建议准备五六份个人简历附带证书奖励复印件,方便老师翻阅。
其次,老师喜欢问平时喜欢阅读什么类型的书籍,专业课除了教材之外的与专业课相关的书籍,建议阅读导师著作、论文,看《传播学史》《帝国与传播》《传播的偏向》《娱乐至死》《童年的消逝》等书籍。不要紧张,从容大方,如果老师问到的问题不是很熟悉,最好将老师的思路引到你熟悉的领域。
4、注意培养自己的综合素质考生较为保险的复习策略是在面试中突出自己的优势和强项,如本科期间有没有发表过学术论文,是否跟老师做过课题,有没有重要的实践经验等。同时,要全面复习本科重要基础课。被录取起着决定性的作用,因此考研教育网为广大考生总结考研复试经验技巧供学习。
考研复试通常包括笔试、专业面试和英语面试三部分。考研英语面试中,在自我介绍完结束后,老师就会开始问问题。在回答过程中要结合自己的经历和见解来准备答案,让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题,这些问题看起来很平常,却有很多陷阱,一不小心就会被考官抓主“小辫子”了。回答这些常见的看起来很平常的问题,也是要有技巧的。
一、传统面试问题(Sample Traditional Interview Questions)
如:
What can you tell me about yourself?(关于你自己,你能告诉我些什么?)
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.
分析:这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并不希望你大谈你的个人历史。是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。
答案译文:在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动,并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间,我曾在一家服装店打工,我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要,但对我来说,更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们服务。我很有竞争意识,力求完美对我很重要。

七、最后
最后可以说:Thank you for giving me the chance. I hope to see you again and soon.
最后提醒大家:等待调剂消息时还要不时地询问一下。不要傻等,要不时地了解学校的情况。需要的时候亲自去一趟学校也是值得的。如果最后学校决定接受你的调剂,是会主动跟你联系,并确定具体复试时间的。一般调剂去的学校都不会太好,所以一定要想清楚自己要的是什么,是有个研究生学位就行了,还是决定非名校不能上。
