在考研复试环节,英语部分的考查是比较关键,也是大家最为担心的。具体考些啥,大多数小伙伴还摸不着头脑,现在我们就一起来看看,英语复试到底都考些啥。
可以划分为三大部分——英语口语、专业英语以及英语听力考查,其中复试英语考察主要是口语,一般为一到两位老师进行提问,问题包括基本信息、日常交流,可能也会问专业课内容等等。
第一部分:考查学生理解并回答有关日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力;
第二部分:考查学生连续表达的能力。考生从给你的问题中选择一个话题,就此话题表达自己的看法。
有些专业只有一名老师专门负责英语口语;还有部分专业是由两名教师参加口试工作,一名教师主持口试,随时与考生交谈并评分;另一名教师专门评分,不参与交谈。
(有的学校不考听力)
考研复试英语听力的考查,大多数学校是以成型考试为参考。比如:六级听力、托福听力和雅思听力。在复习时可以有针对性地做一些六级或托福听力或雅思听力的试题,收听英语新闻,看看发音清晰的英文影片,在放松欣赏的同时又培养了语感。
需要小伙伴们根据自身情况准备一个1-2分钟的英文自我介绍,内容可包含个人家庭,学习,专业以及工作规划。其中专业相关的内容要作为重点介绍。
英语口语考察的常规题型为问答形式。老师提问,要求考生对提问的话题进行阐述,比如,“你如何看待xx”、“你对xx的看法”等等,此环节主要考查逻辑思考能力。这部分主要是专业知识和热点较多,建议小伙伴可以关注这些话题,可以阅读下相关的英文报道。
这种方式多是抽题的形式,有几个专业英语口语也是抽题回答。
这是口语最常规的考题,“你最喜欢的XX”,”介绍一下你的家乡“,“你最喜欢的XX”…这是口语最习惯的考法,大家必须要准备这些话题。
有些老师会以自由问答形式,去追问考生,来了解考生情况。
复试口语主要考查的是流利与连贯性、语音、词汇量和语法这四个方面。换言之,正确的语音和语调,词汇和语法的准确和灵活性,话语的内容及流利度以及互动交流的能力是整个面试环节中在表述时要注意到的要点。其实真实的情况是复试不太注重考察英语口语方面的,只要考生能回答就可以,而不能出现直接卡住、沉默,不做任何回应。
1.优秀(能用外语就指定的话题进行口头交流,基本没有困难)
2.良好(能用外语就指定的题材进行口头交流,虽有些困,但不影响交流)
3.及格(能用外语就指定的话题进行简单的口头交流)
4.不及格(不具有口头表达能力)
在面试过程中,语速不要太快,适当的节奏和语气停顿有助于给老师增加好感,而且,声音不宜太高或太低,要保持适中,发音要尽量饱满。
当回答问题时,中间不要出现过长的沉默,最好使用些语气词,比如,hmm,err等进行过渡,让面试老师感觉到你在认真思考;当不太确定回答内容时,也可以很坦诚的告诉面试老师,一定不要低头不语。
在面试过程中,除了面试语言的使用之外,还要注意非语言性的交流,也就是英语中所谓的body language。在回答问题时,要和老师在眼神上有交流。
考研英语面试中,在自我介绍完结束后,老师就会开始问你问题。在回答过程中要结合自己的经历和见解来准备答案,让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。
在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题。
第一个模板是针对辞职考研的同学。首先介绍自己的毕业学校,毕业之后从事的工作。通过工作中的典型事件表达自己读研的决心和信心,以及自己对这个专业的认识。
Good afternoon, teachers.
I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is XX, 25 years old. I come from Weifang, a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from Commercial College in July, 2013 and major in finance.
Then, I was a teacher in XX, When I was a senior school student, I was interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism, especially I finished reading “the florilegium of Mao ZeDong”. From then on, I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works and accumulated great interests in theory study, especially in Marxism.
I have a dream, a dream of my study. I wish devote my whole life and energy into the development of the Marxism. If I have the opportunity to study in XX University, I’ll dabble in as much as document about the specialty as possible. If it is possible, I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major, at least, a stable basis.
Personally, for today’s China, the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. That’s to say, we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and sustainable development than the capitalistic, we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually.
Thank you!
模板二比较简洁,如果分配给自我介绍的时间不多,可以采用这一模板,简单介绍自己的情况。

模板三是针对在职考研的学生。首先介绍自己的基本情况,目前所做的工作。然后通过工作中的小事,呈现自己的优势,表达读研的渴望。

模板四是一个比较综合性的模板。每一段都可以拆分成为一个单独的问题,导师在英语面试中关注的个人问题(比如家庭、家乡、兴趣、读研之后的规划等)几乎都包括在内,希望同学们好好阅读,针对个人情况进行修改。
First let me introduce myself, my name is XX, 23 years old, and David is my English name. I am open-minded, easy to adapt, compatible with my friends, and willing to help others.
I studied in XX University. Although it is not well known, I still appreciate it, because it offers me a chance to develop my abilities. During my college years, I have made rapid and great progress in many areas, as a
student, I work very hard, and obtain scholarship many times, as a monitor, I work earnestly, also gain good comments from teachers and classmates, working as a member of Student Union, I strive to finish any assignment perfectly. In a word, I learned a lot in my college life.
In my family, there are three members, my farther, my mother, and I. My parents are workers, my father works very hard, and he is always fully occupied, so most of the housework is done by my mother, of course, while I am at home, I would help her. I love my parents and they love me, too. When I make a success, they are more excited than me, and support me to do better.
Even though I failed, instead of blaming, they always share sorrow with me, and encourage me not to give up. During my preparation for graduate examination, the support from my
family is always my momentum. Parents’ love is unselfish, I am deeply affected, so I will do all what I can to repay them.
My hometown is XX, a young city in XX Province. It is famous for its XX and XX. There are great scenes here, XX, XX, XX, and so on. Each year, many people come here for tour and investment. So I believe that, with the joint efforts of every person, a better future of XX is coming (round the corner).
During the past four years, I have learned a lot of professional knowledge and practical skills, but gradually, I realize it is not enough. In my opinion, further study is actually urgent for me to realize and finally achieve self-value. Life is precious, it is necessary to catch any opportunity for self-development, especially in the competitive modern society. Therefore, I prefer to go on for further education.
I am deeply impressed by the academic atmosphere when connecting to the web site of your department. In addition, I am attracted by the process of XX, and want to do something for XX. As the proverb says ‘process is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.’ If I got a chance to study here, I would like to continue to accept professional training, in order to get ready for working in the future. I hope I can achieve my goal soon.
There must be many things to learn if I were enrolled into my ideal research field. I hope I can build up a systematic view of XX, especially in the fields of XX. Sincerely, my wish is to get a complete comprehension of XX. On the other hand, I am dreaming of the participation of some relevant projects of my major, for this reason, I will get more experience in practice. And what’s more, I expect to continue my study for doctorate degree, if it is possible. In a word, I am looking forward to making up a solid foundation for future profession which is based on three years of study here.
In my spare time, I like reading books, collecting cards and coins, playing volleyball, communicating with friends, and so on.I also like English very much, I am fond of watching English films and listening to English songs, I passed College English Test Band six in September, 2003, I do believe there is still a long way for me to learn English well enough, however I will not shrink back, Because I realize that English is a bridge connected our country with the outside world. Learning English is the most direct and available method for intercourse among countries and also useful for us to get advanced knowledge and technology from other nations.
模板五是比较中规中矩的模板。模板有些长,将自己的家乡、大学情况介绍清楚;也是比较受欢迎的一个模板。大家在准备的时候可以根据个人情况将每一个点都能写成一个小段,老师可能在你介绍的时候打断你,进行相关的提问。
Hello, my professors.It’s a fine day today,and I’m very pleased to meet you here.First of all,I’d like to introduce myself to you.My name is XX,my hometown is XX,which is a really beautiful city.Even when i was a young boy,I was very interested in biology science.Every one may have a dream,and I still remember that my dream is to be a biology scientist (just like ZHU KE ZHEN).I liked to make wonders just like,where are we from?Where are we going in the universe?And then I would find the answers in book by myself.Still today I think that interest is the best teacher in one’s whole life (and knowledge comes from practice).
Second, I will introduce my major in the university.My major is Biological Engineering in XX University.It has a great relationship with biology scince.Their relationship can be shown with an example: Just like a river,biology science,which often finds new discoveries and theories, is at the head of the river.And my major,which lays more stress on practical use, seems to be at the end of it.When both of them interact well enough,the discovries and theories in biology science can be soon turned into products in all of the modern industry.
Four years’ university education gives me a lot of things to learn,a lot of chances to try,and a lot of practices to improve myself.It teaches me not only what to study and how to think,but also to see the importance of practical ability (such as doing expriment as much as possible). In the university life,I have made many good friends.They help me improve my study and research ability, do ererything just like a man,and often give me good example to follow.
Besides what I have introduced myself above,i also have many interests in my spare time.I like playing football,which is an effective way i think to improve my body health,and it can teach me how to join in a group and deal with other people.Drawing and writing is another favor to me.
Above all,I choose the major in order to broad my view in biology scince,and enhance my research ability.I will do my best to join the new group and be good at postgraduate study.
