留学面试问题及答案
留学面试做好6项准备
一是准备面试大纲。其内容要简短,可以是一句简练的话或一个核心词,大纲能帮助自己快速记起和组织语言。
二是事先深入了解所申请学校情况。了解所申请学校相关信息,并且深入了解要申请的科系。之后,把有疑问的地方记下来在面试时提出。面试官会对学生事先做的准备,以及对学校及其科系所表现出的关注印象深刻。
三是面试前整理好自己的思路。自己是什么样的人? 有哪些塑造自我的经历?其中哪些经历是最值得表现的?这些都是面试官可能会问到的问题。虽然问法不尽相同,但大同小异。接受面试前,要针对这些问题理清思路。
四是忌在弄清楚面试官的问题前轻率作答。来自不同地方的考官英语口音的不同可能会让学生出现理解错误,或是听不懂问题的重点。遇到这种情况,学生可有礼貌地要求面试官重述问题,或改以其他方式表达。不求甚解地草率作答,只会使自己在面试中的表现更糟糕。
五是答案要有逻辑和说服力。多数面试要持续 20 到 30 分钟,约有7至8个问题,且面试官会在退出前保留5分钟让申请人提出问题。依此估算,学生只有不到2分钟的时间可以回答1个问题。因此,学生务必善用时间,及时快速组织有效语言回答问题。
六是提前练习,把握语速和音调。海外院校面试时使用的是学生不熟悉的外语,切忌不断为自己的口音或语言表达能力道歉,要将注意力放在如何清楚、明确表达自己的想法上。说话以自己最习惯的速度为准,不必非要与面试官一致。说话不可轻声细语,听不清学生的答案,对面试官是非常大的困扰。
