考研英語面試中,在自我介紹完結(jié)束后,老師就會開始問你問題。在回答過程中要結(jié)合自己的經(jīng)歷和見解來準(zhǔn)備答案,讓自己回答的問題和整個的自我介紹融為一個整體??缈冀逃龔?fù)試英語輔導(dǎo)名師李少麗老師認(rèn)為,在每一年的面試中都會有很多相同的問題,這些問題看起來很平常,卻有很多陷阱,一不小心就會被考官抓主“小辮子”了。回答這些常見的看起來很平常的問題,是很有藝術(shù)的。
一、傳統(tǒng)面試問題(Sample Traditional Interview Questions)
1、What can you tell me about yourself?(關(guān)于你自己,你能告訴我些什么?)
In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in.As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily.The sale was important,but for me,it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied.It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them.I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best.分析:這一問題如果面試沒有安排自我介紹的時間的話。這是一個必問的問題。考官并不希望你大談你的個人歷史。是在尋找有關(guān)你性格、資歷、志向和生活動力的線索。
答案譯文:在高中我參加各種競爭性體育活動,并一直努力提高各項運動的成績。大學(xué)期間,我曾在一家服裝店打工,我發(fā)現(xiàn)我能輕而易舉地將東西推銷出去。銷售固然重要,但對我來說,更重要的是要確信顧客能夠滿意。不久便有顧客返回那家服裝店點名讓我為他們服務(wù)。我很有競爭意識,力求完美對我很重要。
2.What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?(在畢業(yè)以后5年內(nèi)你想做些什么?)
I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager,I am planning on that also.分析:你要清楚你實際上能勝任什么。
答案譯文:我希望能在我的職位上盡力做好工作,由于在同一領(lǐng)域工作的許多人都被提為區(qū)域負(fù)責(zé)人,所以我亦有此打算。
3.What is your greatest strength?(你最突出的優(yōu)點是什么?)
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've set some high goals for myself.For example,I want to graduate with highest distinction.And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year, I made up for it by doing an honor's thesis.分析:這是很多面試考官喜歡問的一個問題,這是你“展示自己”的最佳機(jī)會,不要吹噓自己或過于自負(fù),但要讓雇主知道你相信自己,你知道自己的優(yōu)點。
答案譯文:“我認(rèn)為我最大的優(yōu)點是能夠執(zhí)著地盡力把事情辦好。當(dāng)做完一件工作而其成果又正合我的預(yù)想時,我會有一種真正的成就感。我給自己定了一些高目標(biāo)。比如說,我要成為出色的畢業(yè)生。盡管在大學(xué)一年級時我啟動慢了些,但最終我以優(yōu)等論文完成了學(xué)業(yè)?!?/p>
4.What is your greatest weakness?(你最大的弱點是什么?)
I'm such a perfectionist that I will not stop until a job is well done.分析:你不應(yīng)該說你沒有任何弱點,以此來回避這個問題。每個人都有弱點,最佳策略是承認(rèn)你的弱點,但同時表明你在予以改進(jìn),并有克服弱點的計劃
答案譯文:我是一個完美主義者。工作做得不漂亮,我是不會撒手的。
5.How do you feel about your progress to date?(對于你至今所取得的進(jìn)步你是怎樣看的?)
I think I did well in school.In fact,in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class.As an intern for the X Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.分析:絕不要對你以前的所作所為表示內(nèi)疚。
答案譯文:我認(rèn)為我在學(xué)校表現(xiàn)不錯。事實上,有好幾門功課我的成績居全班第一。在某公司實習(xí)時,我獲得了該公司數(shù)年來給予其雇員的好幾項最高評價。
6.Why did you choose peking university?
7.Why did you choose MBA?
8.What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?
9.What has been your greatest accomplishment?
10.Describe your greatest strengths and weaknesses.11.What have you learned from the jobs you have held?
二、行為面試問題(Sample Behavioral Interview Questions)
12.Describe the best/worst team of which you have been a member.13.Tell me about a time when your course load was heaviest.How did you get all of your work done?
14.Give me a specific example of a time when you sold someone on an idea or concept.15.Tell me about a time when you were creative in solving a problem.16.Describe a time when you got co-workers or classmates who dislike each other to work together.17.Tell me about a time when you made a bad dec
第五篇:2012年考研院校專業(yè)選擇—英語文學(xué)
2012年考研院校專業(yè)選擇—英語文學(xué)
萬學(xué)海文
英語專業(yè)一直是招生大戶和就業(yè)熱門,是大學(xué)擴(kuò)招過程中招生人數(shù)增長最多的專業(yè)之一。在經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)中,英語專業(yè)的就業(yè)問題更加鮮明地凸顯出來:依據(jù)傳統(tǒng)培養(yǎng)計劃培養(yǎng)的人才只具備單一的英語技能,已不能滿足市場的需要,曾經(jīng)“只要是英語畢業(yè)生就能找到好工作”的時代一去不復(fù)返。有分析認(rèn)為,外語專業(yè)人才就業(yè)的主要問題是:從事英語語言相關(guān)的翻譯、教學(xué)等對口領(lǐng)域的人才趨近飽和,但是進(jìn)入其他行業(yè)如機(jī)械、電子、信息、貿(mào)易之類的經(jīng)濟(jì)部門從事翻譯、交流、溝通、管理類工作,又往往隔行如隔山。這無疑提醒了廣大有志于考研的英語專業(yè)學(xué)生,除了在英語領(lǐng)域發(fā)展之外,還可以通過合理選擇研究生專業(yè),向復(fù)合性、綜合型人才發(fā)展。
在此,萬學(xué)海文考研輔導(dǎo)專家通過對以往英語專業(yè)學(xué)生報考情況的調(diào)查和對研究生專業(yè)設(shè)置及培養(yǎng)計劃的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)英語專業(yè)學(xué)生的五條讀研之路,讓我們一起思考“英語本科生考研怎么考”?
語言文學(xué)之路
? 候車亭
很多時候知道去哪里比去的過程更為艱難,考研也是如此。當(dāng)你來到考研候車亭前就意味著你已經(jīng)有了新的方向,將要開始新的人生旅途。英語本科生報考與英語相關(guān)的研究生意味著走一條輕車熟路,英語語言文學(xué)、外國語言學(xué)及應(yīng)用語言學(xué)是最通常的選擇。
至今,全國擁有英語專業(yè)碩士點的高校已達(dá)220所之多。萬學(xué)海文考研調(diào)研員對武漢大學(xué)、華中師范大學(xué)、武漢理工大學(xué)、華中科技大學(xué)、華中農(nóng)業(yè)大學(xué)、中國地質(zhì)大學(xué)(武漢)、湖北大學(xué)、中南民族大學(xué)英語方向最近兩屆的一些研究生的進(jìn)行了采訪,以了解他們考研過程中的基本情況。
從所報考的專業(yè)來看,大部分人都選擇與翻譯相關(guān)的方向報考,而選擇文學(xué)和語言學(xué)方向的學(xué)生大多是因為對這一專業(yè)感興趣。同時,翻譯學(xué)方向的同學(xué)都認(rèn)為考研過程十分艱辛,而文學(xué)和語言學(xué)則相對容易,考取的可能性也比較大。此外,還有少數(shù)同學(xué)選擇了對外漢語、國際貿(mào)易之類的英語相關(guān)專業(yè)。大部分英語相關(guān)專業(yè)的研究生都是本科就讀英語專業(yè)的考生,且本科階段基礎(chǔ)比較扎實。2010年考取北京第二外國語學(xué)院外國語言學(xué)及應(yīng)用語言學(xué)專業(yè)的女生小楊說:“我比較喜歡英語,而且底子還不錯,但之所以報考語言學(xué)專業(yè),有很重要的原因是不用考數(shù)學(xué)?!?提及對2012年的考生有什么建議時,中南民族大學(xué)的一位研究生表示:“英語專業(yè)的同學(xué)還是跨專業(yè)考研比較好,因為英語能與其他專業(yè)結(jié)合起來能為我們提供很好的就業(yè)機(jī)會,比如跨考旅游、管理、廣告、商務(wù)英語或?qū)ν鉂h語方面等專業(yè)的研究生就很不錯”。如今很多院校招生翻譯碩士(MTI),在職考研的考生不妨考慮一下。
目前英語專業(yè)考研的輔導(dǎo)班并不多,建議大家還是要選擇參加正規(guī)、成熟機(jī)構(gòu)的考研輔導(dǎo)班。武漢大學(xué)語言學(xué)的唐寧認(rèn)為,長期坐著看書的中途能夠上上輔導(dǎo)班,至少可以改變下學(xué)習(xí)方式,換一種心情。在基礎(chǔ)英語的復(fù)習(xí)上,小楊認(rèn)為“這個復(fù)習(xí)情況應(yīng)該看個人的英語底子,我自己應(yīng)該先把真題做一遍,然后按照各個題型做專項訓(xùn)練”。至于專業(yè)課的參考書,很多同學(xué)都提到如果沒有推薦書目,一定要選擇最權(quán)威的教材。華中師范大學(xué)的葉洋同學(xué)認(rèn)為有些英文原版教材實在難度太大,萬學(xué)海文考研輔導(dǎo)專家們建議買中文參考書一起看,可以節(jié)省時間。
在復(fù)習(xí)過程中,不同的人會遇到不同的困難。小楊認(rèn)為最困難的是“基礎(chǔ)英語的閱讀理解,這次考試他就砸在上面了”。華中科技大學(xué)的一位同學(xué)則認(rèn)為他最大的難度是綜合英語不知道如何去準(zhǔn)備復(fù)習(xí),涉及的面太廣,不好把握。湖北大學(xué)的鄧同學(xué)說了一些細(xì)節(jié)問題,說到名詞解釋和作家作品很難記憶,作家的名字狂練了很多遍。其他很多同學(xué)都提到關(guān)于二外的問題,一些學(xué)校第二外語開設(shè)特別晚,萬學(xué)海文建議想考研的同學(xué)能及早接觸第二外語,比如報讀輔導(dǎo)班,然后自己學(xué)習(xí),一方面可以提高二外的成績,同時復(fù)習(xí)階段時間也比較充沛。很多考生在考研復(fù)習(xí)過程中同時也面臨“專八”的復(fù)習(xí),基礎(chǔ)英語和“專八”有一定的共同之處,建議可以把這兩個整合起來一起復(fù)習(xí)。
一些同學(xué)還分享了他們考研成功的一些經(jīng)驗。通??嫉煤玫耐瑢W(xué)一般特別有規(guī)律性,比如早上聽聽力,8點鐘復(fù)習(xí)專業(yè)課,9點半開始復(fù)習(xí)政治,什么時候練習(xí)閱讀,什么時候練習(xí)寫作??復(fù)習(xí)有很強(qiáng)的計劃性。此外,英語復(fù)習(xí)時找一位同伴也是可行的?;A(chǔ)英語很多人都強(qiáng)調(diào)“基礎(chǔ)”,到到了正式復(fù)習(xí)時,常見的辦法是做專題訓(xùn)練和做真題;第二外語需要多花時間,提高的空間也較大;專業(yè)課要注意看書然后整理筆記,畫框架、列圖表,好好利用真題,爭取做一些有針對性的練習(xí)。
? 路線圖
考研的歷程中,首先應(yīng)知道有哪些專業(yè)可供選擇,猶如出行前應(yīng)該看清路線圖一樣,需要在心中勾勒出清晰的路線。涉及英語專業(yè)的二級學(xué)科主要有3個:英語語言文學(xué)、外國語言學(xué)及應(yīng)用語言學(xué)、翻譯學(xué)。實際上,許多學(xué)校把翻譯學(xué)歸并到前兩者之中。如果再繼續(xù)劃分研究方向,各個院校的情況又不盡相同。不論其方向名稱有多么不同,分類如何細(xì)致,我們從研究的實質(zhì)上把英語語言文學(xué)方向歸納為:語言學(xué)、文學(xué)、翻譯學(xué)、英美文化研究、英語教學(xué)。
方向一:語言學(xué)
語言學(xué)規(guī)律并沒有想象中深奧,這里所說的語言學(xué)一般指英語語言學(xué),當(dāng)然英語專業(yè)學(xué)生考漢語語言學(xué)、日語語言學(xué)、德語語言學(xué)等也是可行的,這就得看考生的第二外語水平。絕大部分招收英語專業(yè)研究生的院校都開設(shè)有英語語言學(xué)方向,從其分支來看,包括語用學(xué)研究、英語語法研究、句法學(xué)、語義學(xué)、語音學(xué)、音系學(xué)、形態(tài)學(xué)、修辭學(xué)等;語言學(xué)的研究同社會學(xué)、心理學(xué)等人文學(xué)科的結(jié)合并形成了社會語言學(xué)、心理語言學(xué)、人類學(xué)語言學(xué)、數(shù)理語言學(xué);把語言學(xué)的理論引進(jìn)到語言教學(xué)中又形成了對比語言學(xué)、認(rèn)知語言學(xué)、語料庫語言學(xué)、應(yīng)用語言學(xué)等。此外還包括對語言和文化兩者相互關(guān)系的研究。
雖然語言學(xué)屬于基本理論的研究,讀書、做研究、寫論文是最正統(tǒng)的出路,但是這并不適合每一個人,適當(dāng)?shù)卣{(diào)適、轉(zhuǎn)向才能更好地發(fā)展自己。比如英語語法研究可以向比較高層次的筆譯轉(zhuǎn)向,修辭學(xué)研究可以向文學(xué)研究甚至文學(xué)作品翻譯轉(zhuǎn)向,如果想向教師方向發(fā)展,萬學(xué)海文建議考生平時應(yīng)加強(qiáng)英語教學(xué)法知識的掌握和教學(xué)技能的訓(xùn)練。
方向二:文學(xué)
文學(xué)方向?qū)嶋H上包含很多小方向,最主要的是英美文學(xué),此外還有比較文學(xué)與世界文學(xué)、文學(xué)翻譯等。全國絕大部分招收英語專業(yè)研究生的學(xué)校一般都開設(shè)英美文學(xué)專業(yè)。比較文學(xué)、世界文學(xué)致力于不同文化之間的理解、認(rèn)識、比較,很多院校把這一專業(yè)開設(shè)在文學(xué)院而非外語學(xué)院。英美文學(xué)專業(yè)包含很多理論問題,如作者生平、思想內(nèi)容、寫作手法、文學(xué)流派、文學(xué)史發(fā)展的軌跡以及藝術(shù)特色等,進(jìn)一步還有各個歷史階段的文學(xué)現(xiàn)象、本質(zhì)和特征以及文學(xué)語言的基本概況、文藝批評思潮等,主要內(nèi)容有英美文學(xué)史、英美小說、文藝?yán)碚摰?。學(xué)習(xí)文學(xué)沒有捷徑,文學(xué)方向的研究生在學(xué)習(xí)文學(xué)相關(guān)理論(如美學(xué)、文藝學(xué)、文學(xué)史等)之余就是大量閱讀經(jīng)典的文學(xué)作品,這種閱讀同一般人的課外閱讀差別很大,有時甚至?xí)芷D苦。文學(xué)方向就業(yè)在英語各方向里面情況中等,所以學(xué)習(xí)文學(xué)一定要真正具有濃厚的興趣和文學(xué)領(lǐng)悟能力。
方向三:翻譯學(xué)
近年來,翻譯學(xué)也發(fā)生了分化,不僅有“翻譯學(xué)”方向,還有細(xì)化的口譯、筆譯、文學(xué)翻譯、同聲傳譯等很多方向。中國八大外語院校(北京外國語大學(xué)、上海外國語大學(xué)、西安外國語學(xué)院、廣東外語外貿(mào)大學(xué)、大連外國語學(xué)院、天津外國語學(xué)院、四川外語學(xué)院(重慶)、北京第二外國語學(xué)院)開設(shè)有專門的翻譯方向,其他的院校翻譯屬于小類別,包含在語言文學(xué)里面,一般選擇對應(yīng)的導(dǎo)師才會進(jìn)入翻譯方向。翻譯方向是報考人數(shù)比較多的方向之一,從北京環(huán)球時代學(xué)校學(xué)員統(tǒng)計來看,30%的人準(zhǔn)備報考翻譯專業(yè)。
翻譯學(xué)對英語專業(yè)學(xué)生的功底要求比較高,在研究生學(xué)習(xí)過程會有高強(qiáng)度的聽說讀寫譯等基本技能訓(xùn)練。不同的學(xué)校差別很大,一些辦學(xué)實力偏弱的學(xué)校主要強(qiáng)調(diào)翻譯史與翻譯理論,但是一些重點學(xué)校特別是外語院校比較強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)用人才的培養(yǎng),特別強(qiáng)調(diào)實踐能力。筆譯、口譯和同聲傳譯的學(xué)習(xí)難度也各不相同,難度依次為:筆譯——口譯——同聲傳譯。
翻譯方向碩士生有三條發(fā)展道路,一是提高個人專業(yè)能力,包括反應(yīng)能力、變通能力、口語表達(dá)能力,向高級翻譯人才發(fā)展,主要是成為一些大型活動、會議的翻譯人才;一是聽說讀寫并重,擴(kuò)大知識面,有選擇地學(xué)習(xí)教育、外事、外貿(mào)、科技翻譯、新聞出版、廣播影視、涉外企業(yè)、管理等方面的知識,向?qū)iT型應(yīng)用型人才發(fā)展;一是個性化發(fā)展,不斷提高自己的中文表達(dá)能力和英語運用能力后,再精通某個特長領(lǐng)域,如文學(xué)、電影、時尚等,成為有一定底蘊(yùn)的筆譯人才或從事教學(xué)科研工作。
