厉害了 精耕细作的复试英语自我介绍
分享至好友和朋友圈
大家都知道,在考研复试中,英语面试极其重要,除了需要大家展示出自身的精神面貌和口语流利标准与否之外,大家对于一个貌似简单而且不太耗时的内容千万不要掉以轻心,这就是英文自我介绍。很多同学可能会觉得自我介绍这种东西在自己从小一开始学英语的时候就已经会了,而且张嘴就来,但是,我们这里所需要的自我介绍必须要是精雕细琢的版本,因为这个场合里导师们想要看到的点和各种方面都是比较多的,希望大家可以一步一步地把每一句都写仔细。下面,跨考教育英语教研室彭飞老师就以一套流行的模板给大家进行细致的剖析。
1.称呼部分
很多同学会觉得称呼必须要非常专业甚至于非常华丽,其实没有这个必要,因为导师们真正想看到的是你打完招呼之后的更多干货内容,你叫老师们叫得不管多亲热也抵不上后面实际内容的发挥,因此开头我们建议这么讲就完全可以了: Good morning/afternoon, my dear professors. It’s my great pleasure to be given this opportunity for your interview. 这样的一句话短平快,开门见山,精炼得体。
2.自己的姓名、年龄、家乡和学校
这个部分应该是自己最熟悉的,而且最容易说好的。
My name is XXX,I am XXX years old. I come from XXX, a very beautiful city. My undergraduate period will be accomplished in XXX university in July, 2009, and now, I am striving for obtaining a key to your prestigious universuty.
注意这里有几个细节,首先就是说自己家乡的时候大家普遍容易犯的一个低级语法失误:I am come from…. 这本来是一句非常简单的话,结果出这么个错,会立刻给导师们留下一个不太完美的印象。因此建议这一句大家在练的时候务必多次重复,达到张嘴就不出错的效果才好。其次是关于介绍家乡时的详略问题。很多同学在写自我介绍的时候喜欢在这里将家乡描述得非常具体,其实并没有这样的必要,因此后面我们可以专门将其处理为一个单独的模块。第三就是对于目标院校一定要有一定程度的夸赞,比如:prestigious univerisity,这个被理解为“贵校”。
3. 自己的求学经历、性格特征及爱好。
In the past two years I have been preparing for the postgraduate examination for it has been my dream to be a postgraduate. I am open-minded ,quick in thought and very fond of XXX .In my spare time,I have broad interests like many other youngsters and I will try my best to finish it no matter how difficult it is..I like reading books, especially those about XXX.Frequently I exchange with other people by making comments in the forum on line.In addition, I am a person with great perseverance. During my college years, I found web sign very interesting, so I learned it very hard. Therefore, I have a comparative good command of network application and I am skillful in searching for information on Internet. Well, in my spare time, I like basketball, tennis and Chinese chess. Also English is my favorite. I often go to English corner to practice my oral English, and write compositions to improve my written ability.
在这段文字中我们可以看到在说求学经历的时候要注意说明自己考研的动机,当然有一种比较通用、不容易出问题的表达方式就是说考研是你的梦想。同时,在这一块我们不可以说自己过去的学校太差了,所以要考出这个学校。总之就是在面试的整个过程中尽量要避开负能量的话。另外性格特征和爱好不能就事论事,而是需要从侧面体现出自己的阳光、向上和坚忍不拔。
I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning .Of course, if I am given a chance to study XXX in this famous University, I will concentrate on my study and make great efforts to master a good command of advanced XXX.
Ok, that is all, thank you for your attention.
结尾部分需要短促有力,体现出满满自信和满满的期望
如果大家可以按照这个好好梳理自我介绍,那么在这个模块中大家才不会乱了阵脚。预祝大家复试马到成功!
