考研复试指导之英语口语:提前准备有的放矢
2010年03月19日 14:53来源:人民网天津视窗
通过研究生初试只是成功的一半,而接下来的复试至关重要,在这里考研辅导专家特别给广大考生强调一下英语复试需要把握的内容。从2005年起国家取消了研究生初试中的听力考试,将英语听力和口语的考查一并放到复试中进行,并将英语听力和口语的分值记入总成绩。英语听力和口语测试是研究生复试的重要组成部分,也是广大考生需要重点加强的薄弱环节,因此考生应该充分利用从初试结束到复试开始这一段时间,集中强化英语口语和听力的训练,做到提前准备,有的放矢。
听与说是一种相辅相成的关系,如果听不明白就会给交流带来很大的麻烦,听力困难主要有三个方面的原因:
1、语言本身的困难,如语法、句型、发音的基础不够据实;
2、文化内容上的困;
3、心理障碍,听英语的潜在困难在于心理障碍,如总感到被动,过分紧张等。因此听力准备一定要提前预热。现在大多数高校都会以现有的成型考试为参考来考查英语听力,在准备听力复试的过程中,考生们不妨有针对性的做一些听力试题,比如六级听力、雅思和托业听力都可以做为复习的重点,从现在起到复试之前应该保证每天至少1 个小时的听力训练,如果觉得做题做得枯燥了,可以适当听一下英语新闻,看看英文原版电影,通过这些练习来培养自己的英语语感,扩大词汇量、掌握英语的习惯表达方式,扩大知识面和训练英语逻辑思维能力,也可以使我们熟练掌握常用的词组、短语等。只有熟练,会话才能流利,与人交流才能不假思索地脱口而出。
考研复试英语口试特点如下:
1.对口语的考查,各个学校各不尽相同。有的学校制定了非常详细的标准和流程,甚至规定每个老师发问的方式和时间;有的让面试老师自由发挥,成绩也基本上由面试老师主观判定。
2.考试形式汇总。第一,个人介绍:让你以问答的方式或一个小小的独白来介绍自己。第二,深入对话:考官进一步问你关于一些基本话题的看法。第三,个人长谈:考官让你抽一个话题,给你1-2分钟准备,然后做两分钟左右的演讲。这部分考查比较接近雅思口语考试的第二部分。第四,考生对话:考官给你和另外一个考生一个话题,给你们一段准备的时间,然后让你们进行对话讨论。第五,图片描绘、分析与讨论:这种形式非常接近考研笔试写作的图片作文,只不过是以口语的形式来考查。每个学校会根据自己的想法来指定考试的具体形式,但一般都会包括以上的两到四个部分。
作为一门实用性很强的学科,英语的学习成果直接体现在口语运用上,因此英语口语能力的提高既是英语学习的必然要求,也是各高校在英语复试中衡量人才合格的重要标准。一般来说,评价一个人英语口语能力主要从看下几个方面:第一,语言的准确性和得体性;第二,语音、语调是否准确;第三、语法是否正确;第四,语句表达的流利程度。这些是衡量英语会话能力的主要标准,针对这些标准,要提高英语口头表达能力,就要采取相应的训练方法,方法恰当了,就能起到事半功倍的效果。为此考生应从以下几个方面来准备:
1.准备一些相关的口语材料,当然如果确定参加哪种英语口试,又了解其口语考试的形式与内容,这些信息可以通过目标院校的师兄师姐或是专业的辅导机构来了解,进而选择针对其考试的口语材料更为有效。
2.制定复习计划:在搜集了目标院校的相关复试信息后,根据备考时间与所要参加的口试类型制定复习计划。可以每天准备一个话题,话题的内容最好是热门话题或所要参加的口试常考的话题。热点话题在报纸、杂志上大多可以找到,也是很多考试写作部分常出的题目,因此也可以参照考研或四、六级作文范文。但切忌全篇背诵所找到的材料,最好只借用其中某些素材,然后用自己的语言重新整理。对日常生活题材的讨论是我们训练口语能力的一个重要阶段,在这个阶段中,我们通过参加多种形式的讨论活动和交流不断扩大知识面,促进思维能力及驾驭语言的能力。
3.熟悉考场情况与考试流程。首先,进入考场入室前要敲门,虽是小节,但关系到你给考官的第一印象。接着向考官问候,如果可以,微笑,但绝不可勉强。其次,自我介绍要求简洁、有新意,能够让考官记住你。最重要的是,发音要准,不要太快,以别人听懂为目的,一定要听考官的指示语。在回答讨论性的问题时需注意,千万不要只回答“YES”或“NO”,而要加上你的reason或者是example。对于看图说话题,不要过分局限于图中的内容,应充分开阔思路,尤其注意在讲述完图中内容后做适当的评价,对图中的事物或观点提出自己的看法或客观公正的评论。
4.克服心理障碍。自信是建立在大量练习上的,不经过口语练习是无法真正掌握英语这门语言的。开口把英语讲出来非常重要,这是每一个英语学习者的必经历程。所以要讲好口语就必须先把面子放在一边。
第二篇:考研复试之英语口语句型
南京环亚琅文现代英语025-84721008 在这里列出一些最常用的句子,要熟读,在面试中要熟练。看起来很简单,可是要做到脱口而出,不一定很简单。
一、第一句话(first word)
见到考官的第一句话,很关键,不用说的很复杂。可以是一个简单句,但一定要铿锵有力。
展示出自信和实力。千万不要来一句“sorry,my English is poor”。常见的开头有:
1.Good morning!may I introduce myself „„
2.I am glad to be here for this interview.First let me introduce myself.I‘m peter white,my NO is„(北大清华等学校参加面试的考生很多,可能对考生有一个编号,说一下自己的编号显得很职业,也很正式。)
二、作自我介绍——成长经历(making a self-introduction——developing history)有很多学校要求做一个自我介绍,这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。考官是要在你的介绍中寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA.你可以先介绍一下成长的经历,出生地和毕业学校等内容。在这一部分要介绍的有些特色,让老师在听几十个人流水帐式的介绍中增加一点乐趣,就权且当作MBA人际关系管理的第一个挑战吧!
I come from ******,the capital of *******Province.I graduated from the ******* department of *****University in July,1997.(很简单的一句话,一定要发音准确!要把毕业学校的英文准确名字搞清楚了。)
你可以借光一下家乡的名人,可以用这句高水平的话,展示高超你高超的口语。
You know,there is a saying that“The greatness of a man lends a glory to a place”。I think the city really deserves it.另外在介绍性格和爱好的时候,适合把家庭介绍结合在一起,可以说父母给了你哪些方面良好的影响。不要流水帐似的介绍家庭成员。可以这么说:
Just like my father,I am open-minded,quick in thought and very fond of history.Frequently I exchange ideas with my family during super.In addition,during my college years,I was once the chairman of the Student Union.These work have urged me develop active and responsible characters.在这里给出描述个人品质常用词汇的中英文对照,可以参考。
able有才干的,能干的 adaptable适应性强的 active主动的,活跃的aggressive有进取心的 ambitious有雄心壮志的 amiable和蔼可亲的amicable友好的 analytical善于分析的 apprehensive有理解力的aspiring有志气的,有抱负的 audacious有冒险精神的 capable有能力的,有才能careful办理仔细的 candid正直的 competent能胜任的constructive建设性的 cooperative有合作精神的 creative富创造力的dedicated有奉献精神的 dependable可靠的 diplomatic老练的,有策
disciplined守纪律的 dutiful尽职的 well-educated受过良好教育的efficient有效率的 energetic精力充沛的 expressivity善于表达
faithful守信的,忠诚的 frank直率的,真诚的 generous宽宏大量的genteel有教养的 gentle有礼貌的 humorous有幽默
impartial公正的 independent有主见的 industrious勤奋的ingenious有独创性的 motivated目的明确的 intelligent理解力强的learned精通某门学问的 logical条理分明的 methodical有方法的modest谦虚的 objective客观的 precise一丝不苟的punctual严守时刻的 elastic实事求是的 responsible负责的sensible明白事理的 sporting光明正大的 steady踏实的systematic有系统的 purposeful意志坚强的 sweet-tempered性情温和的temperate稳健的 tireless孜孜不倦的三、作自我介绍——职业发展(making a self-introduction——career development)这是很关键的一部分,也是MBA考官会重点考察的一部分。要把工作经历和MBA的学习以及职业发展方向作为一个整体来谈,让老师感到你选择MBA是一个理性的选择而不是一时冲动,选择MBA是职业发展中的一个必然选择,而不是因为找不到工作。你可以用这些句型:
1、In the past years,I‘ve worked at IBM as a software engineer.In my work,I found communication and management is very important.I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning.So I choose MBA!if I am given a chance to study MBA in this famous University,I will stare no effort to master a good command of communication and management skill.(在过去的几年中,我作为一个软件工程师在IBM工作。在工作中,我发现交流和管理非常的重要。我一直认为一个人很容易落后,如果不持续学习的话,所以我选择了MBA!如果我有机会在这个著名的大学学习MBA,我会不遗余力的掌握沟通和管理的技能。)
2.Held a post concurrently in Zhongxing CPA.from December,1998 to May,1999.and mainly worked on evaluating project finance and made up cash flow tables.(1998年11月至1999年5月在中兴会计师事务所兼职,主要从事财务评价、现金流量表的编制分析和产业的市场调查与跟踪研究等。)
3.Assistant to the General Manager of Shenzhen Petrochemical Industrial Corporation Ltd.Handled the itinerary schedule of the general manager.Met clients as a representative of the corporation.Helped to negotiate a $5,000,000 deal for the corporation.(深圳石油化工集团股份有限公司总经理助理。安排总经理的出差旅行计划时间表。作为公司代表接见客户。协助公司谈成了一笔五百万美圆的交易。)
4.assistant to manager of accounting department of a joint venture enterprise.Analyzed data and relevant financial statistics,and produced monthly financial
statements.(一家合资企业会计部门经理的助理。分析数据及相关财务统计数字,而且提出每月的财务报告。)
5.Production manager: Initiated quality control resulting in a reduction in working hours by 20% while increasing productivity by 25%.(生产部经理:引入质量控制,使工作时数减少了20%,而生产力则提高了25%.)
6.Staff member of Shanxi Textiles Import and Export Company.Handled import of textiles from Hong Kong,Macao,Taiwan.Increased sales by 25% from 1990 to 1993.Made frequent business trips to these places to negotiate with textile mills.(山西纺织品进出口公司职员。处理从香港、澳门、台湾进口纺织品事宜。从1990年到1993年增加了25%的销售额。经常出差到这些地方跟纺织厂商洽谈。)
7.Tourist guide during the summer vacation for Beijing International Travel Service.Conducted tours for foreign tourists on trip around the city.(暑假期间为北京国际旅行社当导游。负责外国旅客在城区的观光旅游。)
8.Sales manager.In addition to ordinary sales activities and management of department,responsible for recruiting and training of sales staff members.(销售部经理。除了正常销售活动和部门管理之外,还负责招聘与训练销售人员。)
关于过去工作的描述是很重要的,同学们一定要熟记这些句型。要根据自己的工作经历改造这些句子。
如果你的工作有过比较多的改变,你可以这样来描述原因:
9.Unfortunately I have had to leave my position,as my employers have been forced to liquidate their business due to the worldwide economic adversity.(很不幸地,本人不得不离职,因这一次世界性的经济不景气,使我的雇主不得不结束业务。)
10.The only reason why I am leaving the present position is to gain more experience in a trading office.(本人之所以离开目前的工作岗位,唯一的理由是希望能在一家贸易公司获得更多的经验。)
11.I now wish to enter an office where the work requires greater individual responsibility and judgment than here,and where there is more opportunity for advancement.(目前,本人希望进入一家可以担负较大责任的公司,并希望能提供升迁机会。)
12.My reason for leaving the company is that I wish to get into the advertising business.(本人离职的原因是希望在广告业方面有所发展。)
13.My reason for leaving my present employment is that I am desirous of getting broader experience in trading.(本人离职的理由:希望在贸易方面,能获得更广泛的经验。)
