开场白
开场白比较简单,一般就是一个简单的问候和寒暄,如:Good morning,dear distinguished teachers! I am very glad to be here for this interview.其中要特别注意要与面试老师打招呼。
关于姓名,毕业院校
所学专业部分不是自我介绍的重点,同学们在讲这部分的时间基本就是面试老师们浏览个人简历的时间,这部分按部就班介绍就可以了。参考表达:I am Li Ming. My English name is Jacky Lee. You can call me that if you’d like to. I am majored in Electronic Science and Technology, I will graduate from Xidian University in this coming July.
考研原因
考研原因几乎是每个导师都会关心的问题,因此最好把这个问题就放在自我介绍里面说了。这部分的内容我们务必要让考官感到我们选择这个专业是经过深思熟虑的,是一个理性的选择而不是一时冲动。通常我们可以从以下三个方面来回答。
兴趣
兴趣,即强调对所报考的专业怀有极大的兴趣(have significant interest in…)。如果本科就读的专业与报考的专业一致,则可以说明想继续深造(further education)的愿望。如果不一致,则要说明报考专业对你的吸引力 (…appeals to/attracts me a lot)。
优势
优势,即强调研究生相对于本科生在知识、学术方面的优势,如:知识面更广(wider knowledge),学术更专业(more professional),眼界更广阔等(broaden one’s horizon)。
益处
益处,即强调考研对你的未来的积极影响(have a positive effect on…),可以从求职、职业规划、人生经历等方面入手进行说明。可参考的词汇、短语如下:be helpful, contribute to, be beneficial to, be conductive to, be a definite advantage, become a strong point when it comes to… 等等。
对于那些在职考生或有工作经验的考生来说,考官乐于知道他们为什么(放弃工作而)重新学习。考生可以直言在工作发现某些知识或技能很重要,希望能通过学习在这些方面进行提高 (In my work, I found … is rather important. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. So I choose to go back to school and improve myself。)。
然后,可以在自我介绍中展现自己对未来的规划,其目的在于向老师们展示自己对时间、学习、人生有一定计划性和掌控能力。参考回答:I plan to concentrate on study and research in this field in my graduate time. And I hope I can form a systematic view of ... and make a solid foundation for future profession after three years study here. After graduation. I would like to work as a .... I hope that in five years after graduation, I can....
最后,请务必表达出对来目标院校就读的强烈意愿。并给出一个明确的结束的信号。例如:I would be very honored if you could grant me the opportunity to study in this university. That’s all about my self introduction. Thank you!
