目前大部分院校已经陆续进入本年度硕士研究生招生复试环节,复试大都包括笔试和面试,而面试在复试中又占有相当大的权重,通常层次越高的学校面试权重越大。面试中自然少不了自我介绍,一个好的英语自我介绍,能够给面试官留下不错的第一印象,从而深刻影响面试官最后的总体评价。如果自我介绍能够做到有深度的话,自然能够让考生在一开始时脱颖而出。
现在网上有很多这样的自我介绍模板,于是很多考生就把相应的地方改一下,然后背一背就觉得万事大吉,殊不知这只是最基本的要求。而复试是分分必争,因此更占优的方法是结合自己的专业特点把模板加以充分改造,让考官从考生的自我介绍中发现思想性和深度,除了考生掌握英语本身的熟练程度,考官往往看重的是考生对某个问题是否有深入的思考和自己的见解。
笔者的一位朋友本月中旬刚参加了清华大学的研究生复试并被拟录取,笔者联系到了这位朋友,Ta表示很乐意将自己的英语自我介绍与大家分享,希望对即将参加复试的考生们有所启发和帮助,同时也欢迎读者朋友们批评指正。以下是Self-introduction全文:
Good morning, dear professors! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be here! My name is **, an open-minded, quick in thought and warm-hearted boy/girl. I’m ** years old and I'm from **, a beautiful city in ** province. I graduated from ** University and majored in Enery and Power Engineering. Just as the old proverb says, there is no limit to persuming knowledge. And I have been taught to study hard and to be a useful man in the society since I was a child. Therefore, I chose to take part in Postgraduate Entrance Examnation. It’s really my honor to be interviewed by you, because all of you are the most marvelous experts in your fields and I really hope I can be admitted to the most famous university in China, so that I can persue a higher level of knowledge.
When I was in senior high school, I gradually realized that energy had been making fundamental contribution to the development of a society, especially in modern times. And now China is the biggest energy consumpion country around the world, however, though we have made much progress in the field, compared with many developed countries, our energy efficiency is still low. Meanwhile, not only for our country, but also for the whole human society, power syetem plays a key role in economic growth, but we still have a long way to go to solve energy and environmental problems this techonlogy has brought, so I chose this major and have sapred no effort to study since I entered university. Luckily, hard work pays off, I have made much progress in the past four years.
In my leisure time, I Iike reading liberal arts books and current news. I strongly believe that through different thinking mode training, when facing with a same question, we can think from more perspectives and thus have more solutions. So at the same time I minored in ** in ** University on weekends and got graduation certificate. From current news, we are likely to know the innovation policy and technology developing tendency. In so doing, ourselves and our country will go further and better on the way to achieve the China Dream. Apart from reading, I also like doing sports and ping-pong is my favorite. I think books enrich our brains and exercise strengthens our bodies, they are both important.
In the end, thanks again for your attention! Thank you!
要提醒考生注意的是,英语自我介绍一定要背诵得相当熟练,这样一来即使面试时出现紧张情绪,也能比较流畅地完成这一环节,并且自我介绍时注意保持微笑以及和面试官的眼神互动,让他们觉得你不是在背诵而是真的在交流。
最后,衷心祝愿各位考生复试顺利,考上理想的院校!
