如何搞定保研夏令营的英语面试？
错过了这个回答，你可能会失去一份夏令营英语面试的高分攻略！ 保研中的英语面试往往有迹可循，早做准备的话，哪怕四级低分、六级没过，一样能高分顺利通过。 一般来说，英语面试首先会让你自我介绍，接着导师会抽题或者随机询问一些问题，考核你的英语口语。这些问题随机性很大，需要做好充足准备。 所以，本回答从临场发挥中的应对之策、自我介绍的写法以及5大类常见问题三大方面，帮助你顺利攻略保研夏令营的英语关！ "Pardon?"和"What?"是非常不礼貌的一种说法，当我们没听清问题时，礼貌地反问不仅体现了我们的英语素养，还能给老师留下不错的印象。我们可以这样说： （1）Sorry, I didn't understand/get/catch the question, could you repeat it in another way?（麻烦老师解释问题） （2）That's rather a difficult question, but I wonder if you could give me more information about that.（婉转地要求解释问题） （3）Excuse me, I didn't quite understand/get/catch that, could you repeat it for me please?（麻烦老师复述问题） 有某个单词不懂时，我们可以这样说： （4）Sorry, I didn't understand/get/catch the word+某个单词，could you explain it, please? （5）Sorry, what does+某个单词+mean? Could you explain it, please? 确实有的老师口音、语速很迷，说了一遍还是不懂怎么办呢？千万别慌！这个时候我们就不要让老师再解释了，尽快根据你所听到的关键词，切换到你所熟悉的领域。可以用这些句子来铺垫： （1）I'm afraid that I'm not quite familiar with this topic/field/domain, but from my point of view/in my opinion,+关键词相关内容…… （2）I can't really give you an excellent answer, but I guess/perhaps+关键词相关内容 老师误解或者未理解我们的回答时，一定要礼貌地解释清楚： （1）Excuse me. I guess I didn't make myself clear. May I explain further?（很抱歉我没有表达清楚，我可以进一步解释一下吗？） （2）Sorry, I will （try to） explain it in a more reasonable/rational way. 回答得到了老师的肯定后，不要只会傻笑说三克油。适当谦逊，表达继续努力的决心会更讨喜。可以这样说： （1）Thank you for your encouragement, I will go further to enrich my knowledge. （2）I appreciate your encouragement, I will make a further exploration in this field/topic. 回答问题时，处于紧张我们会很容易卡壳，这时候要巧妙运用一些支吾词汇，不仅能让我们的回答更流畅，还能赢得思考的时间。 （1）In regard to...actually, I ever thought about it... （2）It's something like…… （3）As you know…… （4）Well, let me see…… （更新！） 这部分的自我介绍会提到很多方面，或之于本科学校，或之于科研经历，或之于竞赛获奖、或之于实习经历等，大家根据自己的实际情况，拼接出一个最优秀的自己即可。 此外，要记得准备多个自我介绍的版本，我建议准备1分钟、3分钟、5分钟还有1句话4种版本，以应对各种面临自我介绍的场合。时间有长有短，切记一定一定要把最优秀的你展示出来！ 英语面试的环节中，有的院校会直接要求进行自我介绍，而有的学校会把自我介绍放在提问中。前者的时间稍长，可以用3~5分钟的版本，后者的时间稍短，可以把自我介绍的时间压缩到1~3分钟。 特别提醒，自我介绍这一环节经常被包装成问题进行提问，很多小糊涂蛋没有认出来乱答一通。当你看到这样的问题： （1）Would you please make a brief introduction about yourself?（直球！） （2）What can you tell me about yourself? 不要怀疑，就是在让你自我介绍。 开头要简单介绍自己的个人信息，比如姓名、年龄、本科院校等，也可以简单提一下排名，获奖情况等。 Good morning/afternoon, dear teachers. It's a great honor to have this opportunity to attend the interview. Now l will briefly introduce myself. My name is _____. I'm ______ years old and I'm a member of the Communist Party of China. I come from_____, which is known as _____. l major in ______at _______ University. I will introduce myself from _______ aspects. 开完头之后，开始拼接！ During my undergraduate years, l major in ___ at _______ University, ____. l have learned a lot during the four years from my university, while l also realized my shortcomings and strengthened my belief to pursue further studies. l systematically studied professional knowledge on ______major and passed CET-6 in ____. My study and experiments during undergraduate years as well as lots of reading have cultivated my ability of practice and analysis. 也可以补充排名、专业课成绩、四六级分数这些信息，比如： rank 5% among students of my major;（专业排名前5%） grades of most courses are over 90（专业课普遍90分以上） passed CET-6 in the sophomore year（大二时就过了cet6） 对于文科类的同学： Under the guidance of my teachers, l consulted literature and did a lot of reading in the library during my spare time, from which l learned how to look up and arrange literature quickly and practiced writing papers. 对理工科的同学： Whether successful or not, our teachers always asked us to take records of the experiments in order to facilitate future access to consult and avoid problems, from which l developed good experiment habits, became aware of the preciseness and seriousness of research, and understood that scientific research requires team spirit. The practical experiences during my undergraduate years made me realize that my interest lies in ____ major and its _____ direction and accordingly planned my career. Therefore, l determinedly decided to be a postgraduate and chose ____ major. 自我介绍，还是英语的自我介绍，其实更重要的还是考验我们的口语和表达能力。聊聊性格爱好，聊聊家庭，甚至聊聊家乡也都是可以的。 聊性格爱好，你可以这么说： As for my personality, it is both introverted and extroverted in my classmates/friends' words. From the introverted aspect, l can sit still and concentrate on my study and reading, from the extroverted aspect, I'm of social competence. lf l become a graduate student, I think I’m able to adapt to the pace of graduate life and devote to scientific research. Besides, l have persisted in running for years, which shows my willpower. 聊家庭，你可以这么说： My father is a ____ and my mother is a _____ . Although I'm the only (youngest) child in my family, my parents never spoil me. On the contrary, they ask me to work steadily and be an honest person, which is not only their request for me, but also their own golden rule. 总结一下，所谓自我介绍，就是把最优秀的自己呈现给面试老师们看。另外呢，记住英语面试的本意考的是口语，如果实在没有特别出彩的地方，聊聊性格，聊聊家庭也是可以的~ （2022.06.25更新啦！） 【问题】Could you say something about your experience of scientific research? 【关键词】scientific research 【回答思路】在本科阶段参加过科研的同学不仅大大减少了面试难度，对读研期间进行方向选择也有一定的帮助，因为可以根据自己的科研经验来选择更适合自己的课题方向，而且通常能够很快融入到课题组，这也是一个比较明显的优势。在回答这一问题时，可以参考以下思路:(1）科研项目或者课题的名称;(2）自己在项目中负责的内容;(3)本次科研经历的收获（完善知识结构/荣誉等);(4)将本次科研经历与报考动机结合作进一步升华。 【参考回答】 （1）当你有科研经历时…… Under the guidance of my teachers, I did research on_____(你的研究课题）____with my classmates when I was a sophomore. In the process of researching, everyone spared no efforts to complete the task, and my responsibility was to_____(自己负责的内容)______. In order to finish the research, we read and checked many books and articles, such as______(查阅的文献)______We also applied the method of______(具体的方法) ______to solve the problems we encountered. Through this research. we have solved some problems, but also found some problems. I find that knowledge is limitless, which firms my determination to further my study. （2）当你没有科研经历时…… I'm sorry.

Myexperiments.My specific job was_____(工作内容)___. By participating in their scientific research, I also got some thoughts, such as____(对科研项目的思考)_____, and I will further explore these issues later. 【问题】Could you tell us something about your university? 【关键词】university 【回答思路】在回答这一问题时，可以参考以下思路:(1）点明本科学校;(2）表明自己对于母校的感谢;(3）列举在学校的收获。切忌一味地批判自己的本科院校，给老师一种怨天尤人的感觉。首先要表达自己的感恩之心，其次要说明无论自己的本科院校是否名不见经传，甚至名声不太好，都不能成为自己不思进取的借口，反而是充分地利用了大学的三年使自己更接近自己的目标。 【参考回答】 I had studied in Hefei University of Technology since 2018.Although it is not well-known, I still appreciate it because it offers me a chance to develop my abilities. During my college years, I have made a rapid and great progress in many areas. As a student, I studied very hard, obtained scholarship many times, and also gained good comments from teachers and classmates. Four years 'study had made me an independent, optimistic and strict boy. I really appreciated the education my university gave me. 【问题】Why do you choose this major? 【关键词】choose this major 【回答思路】阐述为什么继续学习自己的本科专业时，也可以从主观和客观两方面去阐述:(1）客观方面：例如专业发展前景好，就业前景好，当然会选择继续攻读本专业的研究生;(2）主观方面:通常从自己的能力和兴趣出发进行考量，发现自己适合读这一专业，所以选择在本专业继续深造。 【参考回答】 Firstly, I have always been interested in this major, and that is what my undergraduate major is. English is a universal language and it is a carrier of culture, through which we can know the local customs of various countries. Secondly, I have learned a lot of professional knowledge and skills of the major at school, but during my internship period, I have found there is still much to study, so it is very necessary and urgent for me to further develop in this major. In conclusion, The basis of my decision on further study is to choose the major which I am familiar with and deeply in love with. 首先，我一直对这个专业非常感兴趣，而且我的本科专业也是这个。英语是全世界通用的语言，它是文化的载体，通过这个载体，我们可以了解到各个国家的风俗习惯。其次，我在学校学了很多专业知识和技能，但是当我实习的时候，我发现还是有太多需要学习的方面，因此对我来说在这个专业方面进一步发展是很有必要的。总的来说，我选择继续攻读这个专业的研究生的原因是它是我所熟悉并且深深热爱的专业。 【问题】Which research direction do you like and why? 【关键词】research direction 【回答思路】有些同学可能确定了自己的研究方向，而另外一些同学可能还不知道自己希望研究什么方向。在回答这一问题时，如实地向老师说明目前的想法即可。如果已经确定了研究方向，你应该:(1）点明这一研究方向;(2）从客观角度说一说为什么选择这一方向，例如研究条件、社会需求等等;(3）谈一谈主观上为什么选择这一方向，例如结合个人兴趣、个人能力等等。如果没有确定研究方向，就如实告知老师，并说明自己会尽快通过各种途径去找到适合自己的研究方向。 【参考回答】 ①确定了自己的研究方向…… I opt for the cell biology as the direction of my research. Firstly, the research is very attractive to me. Cells are the basic units of life, this research direction can deepen the understanding of life. Secondly, my undergraduate major is related to this research direction. I am keen on exploring the mystery in microcosm and able to do well in both practice and research. That is why 1 choose the cell biology as the direction of my research. ②未确定自己的研究方向…… （1）Im sorry. I cant decide my research direction at present. After the interview, I will definitely read more top journals in the professional field and find research opportunities through reading papers, so as to determine my own research direction. （2）I'm sorry. I haven't chosen a research direction. I think that the choice of research direction needs to match with personal ability, so I hope that I can ask my tutor more later, and reasonably measure my personal level at this stage, so as to choose a research direction. 【问题1】What do you think about your strengths?/What is your greatest strength?/Do you have any particular merits? 【关键词】strength; merits 【回答思路】问到“优点”，可以按照以下的思路来回答:（1）优点是什么（比如思想成熟、应变能力强、学习能力强、抗压能力强、创新意识、做事执着、勤奋）;(2）举例说明自己的优点体现在了哪些事情上。 【参考回答】 As for my strongest strengths, I think they are my carefulness and responsibility in work and study. In the second semester of my third year, my teacher asked us to shoot a short film in groups. Although we have written the script, we inadvertently missed a shot in the actual operation, in order to have a better effect, I persuaded the actors to go to the location we had chosen before to complete the re-shooting. When we saw the complete video, everyone thanked me very much. Through this matter, I find that carefulness and responsibility are very important. And I will stick to them in the following work.  【问题2】What do you think about your weakness?/What is your greatest shortcoming? 【关键词】weakness; shortcoming 【回答思路】在被问到“缺点”时，要注意你所说的缺点不能是对研究生学习有致命性影响的缺点，例如懒惰，拖延症等等，可以选择那种具有两面性的性格特点或者小缺点，例如“性格内向”等等，这样就不至于给考官留下一个不好的印象。回答这一问题的参考思路如下:(1)点明自己的缺点（比如犹豫、凡事要求完美、有点急脾气等);(2）把缺点包装成优点并说说怎样做能使自己变得更好。 【参考回答】 Sometimes, I can be too straightforward when I'm pursuing things, so I am not very sensitive to other people's feelings occasionally. My straightforwardness does have a positive impact on my work and study, but I should also consider the feelings of my friends around me, so as to prevent myself from blurting out some unintentional words that hurt them. 篇幅有限，下列列出一些面试中常见的问题，基本上可以归为上述5类问题，参考上述五类问题的回答思路进行回答。 自我认知类 1．Where do you come from? 2．What kind of landscape surrounds your hometown? 3．Can you please describe your hometown? 4．Tell me something about the customs of your hometown。 5．Could you tell me something about your family? 6．What does friendship mean to you and what kind of people do you make friend with? 7．What kind of person are you? 学业类 8．What social responsibilities should a post-graduate take? 9．Which kind of professor do you like best? 10．How do you like your major? 11．What qualifications have you obtained? 12．What impressed you most when you were at university? 13．Can you give me a summary of your four years in university? 14．Do you think the subjects you are studying today are relevant to contemporary society?
