一篇文章搞透考研复试英语
英语口语是考研复试流程中重要的一环,也是大多数考研人最薄弱的一环。
复试英语的标准流程是什么?怎样的自我介绍才能让老师耳目一新?
乐昇学教育精心整理了复试英语相关事宜,帮小伙伴们一篇文章搞透考研复试英语,令你在最短时间内完成准备,轻松上阵!
一、考研复试英语考什么?
复试英语考察关键不在于英文难度,而在于沟通交流,所以大家不必紧张。
各个院校复试英语的流程有所不同,除了自我介绍是必考之外,还会有抽题讲述、提问交流等多种形式。
1、自我介绍
自我介绍不需要临场发挥,提前准备好,流利背诵即可。
当然,复试老师可能会要求在规定时间内完成,所以小伙伴们可以准备一个3分钟自我介绍,然后删减成2分钟和1分钟的版本,以备不时之需。
2、抽题翻译/讲述
部分学校会设置抽题翻译或讲述,也就是一个箱子里面放了很多英文题目,你随机抽一个纸条,然后把纸条内容展示给老师看,根据题目进行即兴翻译或演讲。
这类题目比较考验英语功底,需要多看看专业相关的英语词汇。
3、提问交流
其他环节结束后,复试老师会与你进行提问交流。
一是根据你的自我介绍内容进行展开提问,故自我介绍一定要展示自己熟悉的内容,以防被问住;
二是一些基础类的问题提问,比如为什么考研,有什么兴趣爱好;
三是有的学校还可能有简单的专业问题提问,这个稍难一些,需要对专业英语有一定的掌握。
二、如何准备英语自我介绍?
很多小伙伴会犯一个错误,那就是以为把中文的自我介绍翻译成英文就OK了。
其实,与中文自我介绍不同,英文自我介绍的目的就是两点:
(1)让老师大致了解你的英文水平和你的个性;
展开全文
(2)让老师能从中找出兴趣点,并就此成为话题讨论下去。
那么,怎样的自我介绍才能让老师耳目一新,对你印象深刻呢?
1、巧妙的开场
(1) 开场白
开场的第一句是比较重要的,一个好的开场会引起老师的注意,把他们的思绪从上一个复试者身上拉回来。
你开口的第一句话,不需要说很复杂的句子,可以是一个很简单的句子。
但是一定要铿锵有力,切勿扭扭捏捏,落落大方很重要。
比如开头的自谦,常见的是:
I'm flattered to be here to present myself.
It is really a great honor to have this opportunity for a interview.
这里和大家说一个开场的小技巧:每个学校的复试考生都会有自己的一个编号,你可以在开场介绍时说一下自己的编号,会显得比较正式。
比如:
I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. I'm XX, my Number is XX.
(2)背景介绍
说完开场白,然后就是背景介绍了,通常包括家乡、学校、专业等信息。
因为这些信息简历上都有,所以简单介绍即可,不必花费太多时间。
I come from XX, a very beautiful/ancient city. My major is Urbanand Rural Planning in XX University.
I come from XX, the capital of XX Province. I graduated from the Urbanand Rural Planning department of XX University in July ,2022.
2、丰富的内容
开篇介绍完毕,就该介绍核心内容了,大致包括介绍过去、展示现在、规划未来这三个部分。
(1)介绍过去
这一部分主要介绍在校的获奖经历、科研经历、学习收获等内容。
During the past few years, I have worked very hard at my courses, so as to lay a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge. As a result, I have passed all the examinations and achieved excellent academic outcome in major courses. Moreover, I have passed CET-4 and CET-6 with decent scores.
Recalling my four-year college study, diligence and devotion are two key words. Academically, my GPA is 3.8 which ranks second in the grade. I passed CET 6 at the score of 588, and I have won the First Level Scholarship Reward for 3 consecutive years. Under the instruction of my teacher, I published a paper at XX Journal last year, which inspired the genuine academic passion in my heart.
(2)展示现在
这一部分主要介绍自己的个人能力、阐述自己的性格爱好等等。
I have always enjoyed occupying myself, so I took part in a lot of extra curricular activities and contests, many of which ended up with a prize. Of course there were some contests that didn't go that well, but I learned from those failures as well. What's more, I have attended several social practice, which broadened my horizon and equipped me with practical skills. As a result, I have acquired basic knowledge of my major both in theory and in practice.
I am a patient and diligent man/girl, because I know good things take time and I believe if a person is not born to be intelligent, at least you must make sure you are diligent. That is the key to your further study in the future. I also believe the significance of solitude, without it, a student can not go further in the academic world.
如果你有什么特长也可以写在这个部分:
I consider myself a language enthusiast, that's why I've developed a passion for learning foreign languages. I have taken two Japanese elective courses and scored nearly full marks. And I have won the special prize of National English Competition for College Students, twice.
(3)规划未来
表达希望有机会能够加入心仪学校学习,谈谈三年的研究生生涯计划,如系统学习专业知识、参与更多实践等等。
If I have the honor to study for a master's degree in xxx University,I'd like to learn something meaningful, something that really solves a problem in reality rather than some abstruse theory that I will never get the chance to apply.
What's more, I'm pretty sure I'd like to know more people, who don't have to be famous, but get original ideas or opinions about life or things. Of course, I will attach great importance to study, hopefully, I can publish a few papers, like a real master.
3、自我介绍模板
Dear Professors, it is my great pleasure to be here. My name is XX, graduated from Urban and Rural Planning Department of XX University. During my five-year study in the university as anunder-graduate student, I have built up a solid foundation of professional knowledge, as well as a rich experience of social activities.
I am a determined person, always willing to achieve higher goals. Whats more, I am good atanalysis, with a strong sense of cooperation. All of these led me to the success of passing the first round of the entrance examination to the Masters degree.
Personally, I am very humorous and easy-going, enjoying a good relationship among my classmates.In my spare time, I like to read books regarding how to be myself and how todeal with problems. Music and movies are my favorite entertainments. As for mysport interest, I could not deny my greatest interest is football. Playing this game brings me a lot of glory, happiness and passion.
All in all, XX University, with a highly qualified faculty and strong academic environment is the university I have long admired. I believe that I am a very qualified applicant for admission into your Master of Urban and Rural Planning and can contribute to the enrichment or diversity of your university.
OK, that——s all. Thank you very much.
TIPS
(1)模板可以借鉴,但不能照搬。
一定要结合自己的实际情况进行润色,以防撞车。
(2)要将自己整理好的模板反复咀嚼。
对照模板中涉及到的点,预想如果复试老师摘一个点来提问,你是否能够回答的出来。
一定不能给自己挖坑,如果回答不上老师的提问,或是某个点你圆不回来,这不仅会影响自己发挥,还会降低老师对你的印象分。
(3)流利>难度。
英语自我介绍考察的就是表达能力,而且老师们其实都心中有数,大家或多或少都参考了模板。
所以,如果不能背的滚瓜烂熟,就别背复杂的句型,把自己最拿手的展现给老师就好。
三、如何准备英语提问?
实际上,在英语提问环节,复试老师们不会根据和你交流的内容来给你打分,相反,一个良好的聊天氛围才是高分的关键。
英语提问对于回答内容的要求并不高,只要保证连贯性和流畅性就行。
而达到清晰表达的目的,并不需要多么高深的词汇和复杂的句式,大家平时有意地练习用基本的一千个词汇,去练习表达就可以了。

2、如何化解不利局面
(1) 没听清楚提问
有些时候考生可能没听清老师的提问,这是很正常的,如果你遇到这种情况,千万不要慌,微笑着说一声抱歉,麻烦老师再重复一遍就好。
请求重复
Sorry I didn't get the meaning of this question,could you show me again?
Excuse me.I can't quite follow you. Would you please say it again?
I beg your pardon?
以反问形式弄清问题
这个方式通常比让老师重复更好,因为老师会在你理解的基础上进行肯定或否定或补充,利于自己快速确定理解定位。
Could I understand your question like this...?
I think you were asking me about..... Am I right?
(2)一时语塞或忘词
语塞或忘词实在是一件令人尴尬的事情,为了不影响正常发挥和得分,同时又能争取到思考时间,可以设计用记得的模糊词进行替代,或采用一些填充语句来进行缓冲。如:
It's something like...
Well, let me see...
(3)表达过程中出错
口头表达出现错误时,一定不要慌张,因为整个面试过程中一点错误没有也不太可能,重要的是要淡定,及时进行纠正补救。如:
I mean...
That is to say...
In other words...
(4) 出现冷场情况
有时回答完问题后,会出现冷场情况,复试老师们一语不发,气氛稍显尴尬。
遇到这种情况的小伙伴们不必紧张,可以微笑看向老师,在大脑里迅速回放一下所讲内容,再次进行总结。
点到即止,千万不要废话连篇的找话讲,如果确实已经回答完毕了,就强调申明已经答完,以提醒老师们进行下一话题。
最后再告诉大家一句“四字秘籍”:自信大方!
复试英语并没有我们想象的那么难,一门语言的本质就是交流,轻松、自信的表达一定会给复试老师留下深刻印象。
准研究生们要好好准备哦,祝大家顺利上岸,一战成硕!
