大家设想一下,在进入面试房间的第一件事就是,自我介绍。因此,准备一篇英文的自我介绍是非常必要甚至是必须的。自我介绍的几个要点包括:1)一些基本信息,如姓名、年龄、毕业院校、专业等,还可以介绍一下自己在专业方面所取得的成就,如考试成绩、发表的论文、所进行过的研究或者参与过的项目等。2)为什么选择这个学校或者这个专业?尤其是跨校考研或跨专业考研的考生,应该准备一下这个问题。在回答该问题时,不要只说对这个专业感兴趣,可以从兴趣、优势和以后的发展等几个方面谈一下,或者对具有自己特色的原因详细介绍一下。3)未来规划。包括考上研究生以后的学习规划和毕业以后的职业生涯规划。4)其他。还可以准备几个常见的问题,如介绍你的家乡、你喜欢的电影或书籍、你喜爱的影视或体育明星等等。注意,不要写一些容易被面试官抓住不放的内容,尽量“狡猾”的避开一些自己不擅长用英文表达的内容,比如自己曾经在校期间参加了某些支教活动,义卖活动等。
自我介绍模板:
1.开场白 (作自我介绍时,最好不要用…let me introduce myself briefly / please allow me to introduce
myself to you等句子,重复、啰嗦,而且这样说的同学很多,考官听多了,未免太俗。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。)
Good morning. I am very glad to be here for this interview. My name
is xuhaobo, and my English name is Jacky Lee. I've finished my undergraduate
education in Xidian University, Majoring in Electronic Science and Technology
in the college of Technical Physics.
2.性格,爱好,特点,经历。(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。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…)
I am open-minded, willing and have broad interests like basketball,
reading and especially in engineering such as software programming, website
design, hardware design. For example, during the past four years, I have
accomplished two websites: one is the website of our school, and the other is
the website of the doctor forum of china 2007. Furthermore, I am interested in
C plus plus programming language and have written some application programs. In
July in the last year,I finished my graduate project with flying colors,which
was a software application about Image Process . In addition, I have also
finished some projects about embedded system by using MCU when I was a junior.
3.为什么想读研,将来愿意从事的方向,读研时的打算 (好多同学都因为工作原因选择考研,但真正表达时,最好说对这个专业的喜爱,愿意去研究,愿意去学习,再表明自己在读研时的态度,就可以)
Although I have broad interests in many aspects and grasp the
essential knowledge of the major, but I think at present, I can do many things
in a superficial level, but not be competent to do things professionally owing
to lack of ample knowledge and ability. So I think further study is still
urgent for me to realize self-value. The major that I hope pursue for my
further education is IC design. Because I find integrated circuits are playing
a more and more important role in our modern society. And nowadays in China,
with the recognition by the government, our domestic integrated circuits
industry is growing rapidly and that may provide a lot of chances to us. 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 micro electronics and IC design technology
and make a solid foundation for future profession after three years study here.
4.结束语 (没有什么特别要说的,礼貌客气就好)
OK, that’s all. Thank you very much.或Well, that’s who I
am. Thanks for your attention.
英语除了范文外,大家最好还要多背几篇,每个学校侧重点都不一样,如果同学们能事先找到相关院校相关学长学姐,问清每年的面试情况,是最好不过的了,但这对好多同学来说,都有点难。最好的法子,还是多背几篇。网上范文都很多,同学可以按专业特色自行搜索背诵几篇,再强调,一定把范文改成自己的,确认语法无误后,再背诵。
自我介绍结束之后,面试官下面很自然地就会针对自我介绍的几个点进行提问,要求你用英语进行回答,这个时候同学们要认真听好考官的问题。所以大家一定要练听力,不仅在复试中可能会考,同时也在考官问问题的时候,保证不出错。然后快速的组织好语言,用自己能够正确表达的语言简明扼要的回答即可。如果实在第一遍没有听清,那么也要真诚、礼貌地对考官表达抱歉并请求考官再重复一遍。
研究生入学考试,复试考察英语的目的,其实是因为在之后的研究生过程中,常会看到外文的文献。因此,必须要具有基本的英语口语与听力等能力。以下几个注意事项:1)英语口语注重的不是答案,而是你的反应能力和表达能力,在回答问题时,一定要和考官有眼神和语言上的交流,多用一些“thank you for your question”这样的句子以显示你是在和考官进行交流而不是在背材料。2)语言应利索干练,不要太罗嗦,并应注意占据主动权,吸引考官的注意,把考官往自己熟悉的领域引导,比如考官问你对本专业比较感兴趣的方向,可以回答一个自己比较熟悉的,这样考官再继续深入提问时,也有话可说。3)遇到不会的问题时,切忌不懂装懂,弄虚作假,可以老实的说不知道,或者可以这样回答:“非常抱歉,我现在对这个领域了解得不多,但我希望在研究生期间,在导师的指导下进行更深入的研究,以下是我对这个问题的粗浅认识……”对于这个问题,知道多少就回答多少。夸夸其谈、不懂装懂是最致命的,切忌说半天无关的内容而不回答考官的问题。
