【XX考研复试英语自我介绍】延伸阅读——专家教你如何准备考研英语复试
专家教你如何准备英语复试英语复试是考研复试必须要经历的,而对英语能力的考查,你是否已经准备好了呢?很多同学对此较为茫然。事实上,尽管各个院校的复试题目不同,但都并不难。要想在15~20分钟的时间里,展现出自己的英语实力并不是一件很容易的事情,这需要我们提前做好相关准备工作。
从形式上说,英文听力口语的测试一般有两种方式,一种是将听说单独考核,先统一考听力,然后由学校大学外语部组织对考生进行逐一的口语面试;另一种是将听力口语的考试与专业课的面试结合起来,这样更有利于全面考察考生的语言表达能力和专业交流能力。一般来讲,选择前一种考试方式的学校,很可能将听力,阅读,写作等项目放在一张试卷中,大家也要做好阅读和写作的准备。而绝大部分院校出于人员和时间的考虑,往往采取后者。下面我们就来讲讲如何提高英语的口语、笔试、听力水平。
提前准备话题彰显口语优势
大部分高校口语考试的第一部分是简短的自我介绍,这个是必须要准备的,自己提前写好背熟,由于每个人的复试时间有限,说2到3分钟,大概500字就可以。一般包括这样的内容:名字,原来毕业院校,你平时的爱好兴趣等,现在所报考的专业,你为什么报考该专业,你对该专业怎样的感兴趣,对当前该专业发展的简短评价,以及你准备以怎样的态度去研究该专业等等。如果有条件可以找一个英语水平比较好的伙伴或朋友帮忙。准备好的东西会说的很流利,这样能给老师一个好的印象。
自我介绍是你给导师的第一印象,大家都非常清楚我们没有第二次机会给人第一次印象,所以要在短时间内,既能对自己的情况做出清楚的介绍,又能给老师深刻的印象,因此精彩的自我介绍必不可少。自我介绍最基本的要求就是“言之有物、个性突出”。一般情况下,如果老师看出你是在背事先准备好的材料,他会有意打断你,问你一些其他的问题,测试一下你的反应能力。“言之有物”就是需要你精心设计,很多同学的自我介绍都不会给人留下深刻的印象,原因就是没有经过精心设计,很难做到突出个性。当然通过一些简单的手段可以帮助同学们突出自己的个性,比如说一些notonly…butalso、rather…than等句型,可以增强表达的连贯性和逻辑性。另外还可以多用一些口语意味比较强的词汇,使自我介绍更富有新鲜感。 另外,口语考试的话题随机性比较大,对有可能问到并展开的话题也要有所准备。要事先阅读一些相关文章,积累一些有关词汇。比如考生所在地区的文化和风俗习惯,如气候特征,特色食品,婚庆习俗,重大节日,名胜古迹,休闲娱乐等。同时,考生也要关心社会上发生的大事和时事。最好经常阅读一些英文报刊和收听英语广播,或跟同伴及朋友一起讨论一些话题。
口语测试时,假如老师刚好研究你那个方向,那就可能问专业方面的问题,如果你对专业词汇并不熟悉,那么你的自我介绍就最好准备充分一点,会占去一些时间,他就没时间问你别的问题了,而且一下子说了一大串流利标准的英文,他当然给你高分。老师有可能要求你就本专业展开话题,考查你用英语讲解陌生概念的能力。因此熟悉本专业常用的英语词汇,适当阅读最新的专业外文期刊是必要的。
