二、英语口语复试的准备策略
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。
1) 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,爱好等。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。
⑤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。
结束时可以用说:That’s all about me. / Well, that’s who I am. Thanks for your attention。
3、未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向),人生规划(短期、长期)
4、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。
5、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。
6、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。
