考研复试中的英语口语考察主要包括两个部分,首先是自我介绍,大家提前准备好,现场有感情地背诵;然后是和老师的对话交流,聊天话题不定,灵活多变,但是我们也可以提前有所准备,今天就来教教大家如何准备人人头疼的英语口语。
对于我们来说,第一部分比较固定,就是一段独白,不用思考,可操作性强,而第二部分相对来说不可控,需要对老师提出的问题现场思考,组织英语回答,难度较大。
但是如果准备充分,把可能聊的话题都准备一下,提前推演,善于引导老师提问的方向,那么第二部分也不是问题。
►接下来预习一下英语复试口语中常见的问题及解答
复试中的口试要求从以下几个方面进行评价:
第一部分:考查学生理解并回答有关日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力(3分钟)。
第二部分:考查学生连续表达的能力。考生从所给你的问题中选择一个话题,就此话题表达自己的看法(3分钟)。
01第一句话(first word)
见到考官的第一句话,很关键,不用说的很复杂。可以是一个简单句,但一定要铿锵有力。,展示出自信和实力。
千万不要来一句“sorry, my English is poor”。
常见的开头有: I am glad to be here for this interview. Firstlet me introduce myself. I’m ..., my number is …
北大清华等学校参加面试的考生很多,可能对考生有一个编号,说一下自己的编号显得很职业,也很正式。
02作自我介绍——成长经历
有很多学校要求做一个自我介绍,这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。
考官是要在你的介绍中寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。另外在介绍性格和爱好的时候,适合把家庭介绍结合在一起,可以说父母给了你哪些方面良好的影响。不要流水帐似的介绍家庭成员。
可以这么说:在这里给出描述个人品质常用词汇的中英文对照,可以参考。
03如果他们没有听明白,可以说
"Could you speak slowly ?"
"Sorry,I didn`t prepare for this question"
相信英语口语菜的人大有人在,豁出去了 保持微笑:I am sorry! I beg your pardon? I don't understand your question. Could you repeat it again?
Sorry, I don't know. (I am little acquainted with the aspect of special knowledge)But I wish I can have a chance to learn more deeply the knowledge under your direction .
04常见问题
注意在准备的过程中,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。要不然很容易被考官抓住把柄,问个没完,很容易因紧张而露出马脚。
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小辫子。
回答这些常见的看起来很平常的问题,是很有艺术的。
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.
不完全等同于自我介绍,选一部分。
可以谈谈你自己吗?这不是一个让你讲述自己历史的问题,面试老师希望通过你的回答来了解你的性格,学业成绩,理想抱负和动机。
2
"What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?"

如果可能的话,我希望继续读博。拿到博士学位后,我希望在高校从事教学工作,继续研究古代文学,希望可以在在专业方面小有所成。
3
"What is your greatest strength"?"
你最大的优势是什么?("你最突出的优点是什么?")
这是你"展示自己"的最佳机会,不要吹嘘自己或过于自负,但要让面试老师知道你相信自己,你知道自己的优点。
"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 have set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction.
我认为我最大的优点是坚持不懈。如果我如计划完成我的工作,我会感到莫大的成就感。我给自己定下了很高的目标。比如,我希望成为优秀毕业生。
4
"What is your greatest weakness?"
你最大的弱点是什么?("你最大的弱点是什么?")
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。
Maybe because I am young people, I am a short fuse girl in daily life,fortunately I have realized it was disadvantage, and I am trying my best to get rid of it.
也许因为我还很年轻,日常生活中我有些急躁,幸运的是,我意识到这是一个缺点,我会尽我最大的努力去克服它。

I believe studying home is preferable though many students are enthusiastic about studying abroad to pursue their higher education.On the one hand,you don't have to take foreign language tests such as TOEFL or GRE.This can save you a tremendous amount of time,money and effort,allowing you to put much energy into to your academic field.In addition,if you study at home,you can stay with your family and old friends.Meanwhile,while studying at home,you can enjoy the intimate friendship and comfortable family atmosphere which you can only dream of in a foreign university,where you will be accompanied by your own shadow most of the time.For these reasons,it is more realistic and sensible to pursueone'shigher education at home than studying abroad.
虽然许多学生热衷于出国深造,但我认为在家学习更好。一方面,你不必参加托福或GRE等外语考试。这可以为你节省大量的时间、金钱和精力,让你能在学术领域投入大量精力。此外,如果你在家学习,你可以和家人和老朋友呆在一起。同时,在家学习时,你可以享受亲密的友谊。
