告别用语:Thanks for your time. / Thank you for giving such a chance. I hope to see you again and soon.2)自我介绍——姓名、年龄、兴趣爱好、个性、学习(工作)情况等。
注意不要全部照搬网上的一些版本,老师一听就知道不是你写的;可以选取一些好的句子,自己组织一下内容。
3)关于自己家庭、家乡、原来的学校的一些情况,尤其要注意原来学校的英文名称4)未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向),人生规划(短期、长期)5)意外情况——没听清,你应该怎样要求老师再说一遍(Pardon?/ Sorry,I can‘t follow you. / Sorry,I lost you. Can you repeat that question again?);需要时间思考、整理思路的时候,不要出现沉默,可以用一些hmm,err,well等语气词;不会回答某些问题时,千万不要不懂装懂,可以明确地告诉老师你不知道(Sorry,but I have no idea about it.)。
6)跨专业问题——老师通常会对跨专业的学生问这样一个问题:为什么会选择这个专业?不要前篇一律地回答只说“我对这个专业感兴趣”,可以把每个人都会谈到的原因简要地罗列一下,对具有自己特色的原因则可大谈特谈,详细地阐述自己的观点,让老师印象深刻。

南昌大学近两年英语口语话题两人一组对话,两位老师监考,拿到话题前有大约五分钟的准备时间,先是考生两人彼此对话,然后老师会用英语和你简单交流,切记不能冷场,不会说也要说几句。
英语口语是每年复试刷人最严重的复试。
2007届:自我介绍为什么选择南方的高校读研最看重的品质是什么:幽默,诚实,漂亮,忠诚?介绍自己家乡奥运感想2006届:来南昌的见闻为什么选择南昌大学读研介绍自己的母校介绍自己曾经旅游的经历介绍下自己的专业3.对以下几个方面要多加注意,适当练习几遍1)见面问候语:Good morning / afternoon,dear professors. I am XXX. (Nice to meet you.)。
告别用语:Thanks for your time. / Thank you for giving such a chance. I hope to see you again and soon.2)自我介绍——姓名、年龄、兴趣爱好、个性、学习(工作)情况等。
注意不要全部照搬网上的一些版本,老师一听就知道不是你写的;可以选取一些好的句子,自己组织一下内容。
3)关于自己家庭、家乡、原来的学校的一些情况,尤其要注意原来学校的英文名称4)未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向),人生规划(短期、长期)5)意外情况——没听清,你应该怎样要求老师再说一遍(Pardon?/ Sorry,I can…t follow you. / Sorry,I lost you.

6)跨专业问题——老师通常会对跨专业的学生问这样一个问题:为什么会选择这个专业?不要前篇一律地回答只说“我对这个专业感兴趣”,可以把每个人都会谈到的原因简要地罗列一下,对具有自己特色的原因则可大谈特谈,详细地阐述自己的观点,让老师印象深刻。
7)专业知识——在英语口试中(非英语专业),如果老师提问专业问题,通常不会指望你能进行流利的、专业性强的阐述;但是一些专业术语的英文说法还是有必要了解一下的。
8)提出问题——在面试快结束的时候,一般老师都会问,你有没有什么要问的(Do you have any questions to ask?)。
一般不适合说“I don…t have any question.”可以问考官一两个你关心的问题。
