自我介紹最基本的要求就是"言之有物、突出個(gè)性"。網(wǎng)上流傳著很多自我介紹的模板,翻譯成中文,邏輯順序無(wú)外乎這幾點(diǎn):
一、 開(kāi)場(chǎng)白,姓名,英文名,本科專業(yè),本科學(xué)校
二、 性格愛(ài)好,實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)
三、 為什么想讀研,讀研時(shí)的打算
四、 結(jié)束語(yǔ)
一般情況下,如果老師看出你是在背事先準(zhǔn)備好的材料,他會(huì)有意打斷你,問(wèn)一些其他的問(wèn)題,測(cè)試一下你的反應(yīng)能力,因此,自我介紹雖然可以提前準(zhǔn)備并且有模板可循,但是千萬(wàn)別完全照搬模板,要結(jié)合個(gè)人的特點(diǎn)、將自己個(gè)性化的部分融入進(jìn)去。導(dǎo)師打斷之后,提的問(wèn)題非常靈活,沒(méi)有一個(gè)具體的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),比如說(shuō)你的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷,成功經(jīng)歷,失敗經(jīng)歷,個(gè)人夢(mèng)想,讀研的計(jì)劃等等。老師建議大家關(guān)于個(gè)人的信息一定要準(zhǔn)備好,一定不要臨時(shí)去想,因?yàn)榕R時(shí)想很難組織語(yǔ)言,也很難想得完美。
面試過(guò)程:有規(guī)可尋,謹(jǐn)記四點(diǎn)
1、英文畢竟不是咱們的母語(yǔ),不要刻意求華麗,省的一上場(chǎng)緊張全忘記了,簡(jiǎn)單自然最好;
2、也不要太過(guò)于滾瓜爛熟,有背稿之嫌,注意頓挫適當(dāng);
3、切記不要太長(zhǎng),太長(zhǎng)容易出錯(cuò)。三分鐘以內(nèi)就可以。語(yǔ)速不要太快,正常語(yǔ)速就可以,講太快容易把自己搞緊張的;
4、心理上一定不要輕視英語(yǔ)面試。研究生復(fù)試的英語(yǔ)部分一般是由學(xué)校的公共英語(yǔ)或研究生公共英語(yǔ)教研室來(lái)考核。好點(diǎn)的學(xué)校,那些參與面試的導(dǎo)師幾乎都是海龜,在國(guó)外呆了多年,他們是可以用一口流利的英語(yǔ)做學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告的。如果你進(jìn)去上來(lái)一口標(biāo)準(zhǔn)流利的英語(yǔ),瞬間鎮(zhèn)住各位老師。相信我,成功就在眼前了。
面試禮儀:于無(wú)形中增分
首先同學(xué)們要注意的是,第一,落落大方,不要太過(guò)緊張,不要太敏感。第二,說(shuō)話的時(shí)候語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔,口齒清楚。態(tài)度要保持自然、友善、親切、隨和。第三充滿信心,要敢于正視對(duì)方的雙眼,顯得胸有成竹,從容不迫。心理素質(zhì)不夠硬的同學(xué),建議自己多對(duì)鏡練習(xí),這個(gè)還是可以有改進(jìn)的,只要提前多多練習(xí),到時(shí)就不會(huì)特別膽怯。
在此,預(yù)祝大家都能順利通過(guò)復(fù)試,考上自己心儀的學(xué)校。
