研究生入学考试分为初试和复试两个环节,而面试是各高校复试必不可少的环节,也是对于考生能否顺利通过研究生考试最重要的一个环节。在复试面试当中,导师最爱问的问题之一就是让学生做一个自我介绍。面试中的自我介绍,可以让考官观察到报名表简历等书面材料以外的内容,如你对自己的描述与概括能力,你对自己的综合评价以及你的精神风貌等。因为面试时有中文和英文两部分,英语的考研复试自我介绍一般包括五个部分:开场白、背景、考研原因、未来规划、结束语。每一部分都很关键,但是考生在介绍的时候也要有所侧重,有5个点必不可少。
一、开场白,一般就是一个简单的问候和寒暄,比较标准的就如:
1.Good morning. I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself.
2.Good morning. It’s my great honor to attend this interview.
2.Good morning. It’s my great honor to attend this interview.
二、背景,可以介绍关于姓名,毕业院校等这类内容,只要大致介绍一下。参考表达:
1.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.
2.My name is Xiaoming,. I come from Hangzhou, the capital of ZhengjiangProvince. I am going to graduate from the xx department of xx University in July, 2014.
三、考研原因。这个问题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两个方面来回答。
1.兴趣,即强调对所报考的专业怀有极大的兴趣。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的愿望。如果不一致,则要说明报考专业对你的吸引力优势,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,学术更专业,眼界更广阔等。例如,
I am deeply impressed by the academic atmosphere when connecting to the web site of your department. In addition, I am attracted by the process of XX, and want to do something for XX.
2.益处,即强调考研对你的未来的积极影响,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 例如,
1.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。
2. I have learnt a lot from my *****job during the past two years. However, I think further study is still urgent for me to realize self-value. Life is precious. It is necessary to seize any chance for self-development, especially in this competitive modern world.In a word, I am looking forward to making a solid foundation for future profession after two years study here.
四、未来规划。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:
四、未来规划。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:
1.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....
2.I hope I can build up a systematic view of XX, especially in the fields of XX. Sincerely, my wish is to get a complete comprehension of XX. On the other hand, I am dreaming of the participation of some relevant projects of my major, for this reason, I will get more experience in practice.
五、结束语。考生在结束的时候请务必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:
1.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!
2.I hope I can form a systematic view of business management and make a solid foundation for my profession after three years study here.
附上四点小建议:
1、英语不要刻意求华丽,为了效果使用一些不熟悉的词语,以防到时一紧张想不起来。
2、表现自信落落大方。
3、英语自我介绍应该事先准备好,但不要太长,语言要简洁。
4、即使英语很好也不要轻视英语。因为研究生复试的英语部分一般是由学校的公共英语或研究生公共英语教研室来考核有些甚至是海龟。
6、内容真实。
