Q.请简单介绍你的情况。

A.有的同学以为很容易答，马上介绍他的姓名、年龄、父母、出生地等等。其实这是浪费时间，请想一下由上述情况能给你什么高分！考生应该是重点介绍能展现自己水平能力的一面，如学习成绩、获奖、特长等等。其实老师想知道的也是后者。

Q.请谈谈你所在学院或系里的情况。

A. 其实老师是想了解考生对所在院系的了解、是否关心其院系老师的科研或参加什么课题等。有的同学就说说所在院系大概有多少学生和老师，就没有别的话了。如果学生能够讲出所在院系的研究特色、条件和老师们的典型课题等，效果就不一样了。

Q.请讲讲你正在做的毕业论文（或设计）的情况。

A.有的同学直率就回答“还没有开始”。开学已经两个月了毕业论文还没开始，再过两个月就要毕业了，毕业论文还没有开始。这种情况看出该生在所在学校肯定没有接受过多少研究或设计训练。有的同学简单说了一个题目就完了，这种情况也看出该生没做多少工作。有的同学讲的是一个十分科普题目，这种情况可以看出该生所在院系的研究水平的档次，也看出培养的学生的研究能力不怎么样。

Q.请谈谈你做毕业论文（或设计）的技术路线。

A.有的同学回答是“网上查查资料、整理整理什么的。。。”。对检索什么数据库、采用什么方法、运用什么工具、设计什么实验、等等一概说不出或没有可说的，一听这种学生即使毕业了其论文也是等于没做和没有什么创新可说的。

Q.请谈谈你查阅过什么数据库和学术期刊。

A.有的同学只讲个CNKI或一两个常见刊物名，这种情况看出学生的学术视野和接受的训练非常一般。如果能够讲出一些国外著名数据库和学术期刊，那效果就完全不一样了。

Q.请介绍你专业的培养方案。

A.此问题老师是想了解学生的整体知识体系等。但一些考生无层次、无结构的罗列几门课程的名字，甚至几门骨干专业课的名称都说不出来，这种学生考分再高也要打问号。

Q.请讲一讲你学得最好的一门课程的内容。

A.有的同学就把考试的课程说出来，但进一步问及该课程的知识体系或里面的一些重点，又回答不出来或不正确，那该生就很难说优秀了，因为学的最好的课程也是如此而已。

Q.你对那些研究方向感兴趣。

A.有的同学把一个大专业大学科就当作兴趣来提，比如我喜欢安全管理、交通安全、等等，这种回答就看出该生对所在专业的前沿方向一点不知，也没有听过这种讲座，等于没有回答问题。

Q.你打算具体做个什么研究课题。

A.有的同学把一个非常科普的常识性题目就说出来，有的把一个大专业的名字就说出来。从这就可看出这种学生就是没有做过什么科研训练的。

Q.请说一篇期刊上发表的学术论文的格式或结构。

A.有的学生回答不出来。如果问及一条参考文献的规范格式包括哪些要素，更是回答不了。那就知道该生没有阅读过什么科技论文等。

Q.请举例谈谈物理知识与安全检测的关系

A.这类问题比较能够考出研究生的科学思维能力，其实物理学的温度、力、气体等参数的测试在安全测试中一样需要，物理学、电学很多知识都可以用到安全测试的。如果学生一个例子都说不出来，那其科学思维能力和理论联系实际的能力就打折扣的。同样，还可以用数学、化学、力学等在安全测试或事故预防的作用举例来提问题。

Q.你读过哪些与你专业相关的课外书。

A.有些同学列举的课外书是一些99%以上的人都看的小书，有的列举的书本来就是本专业里的书。如果这样可以看出该生对相关学科不感兴趣，知识面不宽，不具有交叉学科意思。

Q.举例说出阅读小说和科技书有什么区别。

A.这种题目一般可考察学生的分析总结能力，例如读小说要读完后才知道整个故事和小说的结构，读科技书只要瞄一下目录就知道该书谈什么和整体结构的安排。学生回答不出什么也看出一些问题。

Q.举例说你如何做科学实验。

A.有的学生不假思索地随意说出，其像炒个小菜一样简单和做那几步。这样也看出该生没有设计实验的经验和不会总结方法、步骤什么的。

等等，教师还可以即时根据学生的回答提出更加深入的联想问题来。上述问题同样适合于用英文来问答，例如：

Q. Please introduce yourself briefly.

A. 本来这类题目也是非常好展现自己的。但一些同学就像背儿歌一样：My name is XXX. I am twenty-one year old. I was born in XXX Henan. I come from XXX university.。。。这样只能让老师看出是小学生的英语水平和浪费了很多时间。这种题目一般事前应该有所准备，应该用比较学术性的英语讲讲自己的成绩、获奖、特长等等什么的，既展示英语水平又展示研究才能。

1. 自我介绍篇(重点)。基本上每个院校每个专业的口试中都会涉及这一方面。考官其实是要借此了解你的口头表达能力以及你的报名表之外的一些信息。自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为宜。思路要清楚，要突出重点，口语尽量流利(不要太流利了，有背诵之嫌)。

1) 考官要求你作自我介绍时，不要用…let me introduce myself briefly / please allow me to introduce myself to you等句子，重复、啰嗦。开头可以只用一句话引入：Dear professors, I feel so glad to meet all of you here。然后就可以进入主题，介绍姓名、年龄等等。

2) 自我介绍的主体内容。

① 姓名。介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。

② 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。

③ 原来的院校、专业。注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚(尤其是跨校、跨专业的学生)。

所属的公司、职位。注意：在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。

④ 性格、能力。可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何积极的作用。如果报考的是学术性的专业，可以说自己细心(carefully，detail- oriented)、条理分明(logical)、踏实(steady)等；如果是研究性、应用性更强一点的专业，可以说自己负责 (responsible)、可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。

其他的一些表示性格、能力的形容词有：active, aggressive(有进取心的)， adaptable, amicable(友好的)， analytical(善于分析的)， cooperative, creative, disciplined, dutiful, energetic, faithful, gentle, independent(有主见的)， innovative, motivated, modest, objective, precise, punctual, precise(一丝不苟的)， temperate等等。

在职考生或有过工作经验的考生还可以强调一下你的工作成绩，如：As the assistant to the General Manger of XXX Company, I have helped to negotiate a $200,000 deal for the corporation。

⑤ 爱好。All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. 除了强调你的学习的重视，同时也要避免给考官一种“书呆子”的感觉。一般可以从体育、音乐、电影等方面来说，同时要简单说明这些爱好对你的积极意义 (build my body, relax myself, open my mind…)；注意避免提到那些可能引起考官反感的爱好，如：playing computer games，watching TV等。

⑥ 你对报考的专业有兴趣(be interested in/be fascinated with/be obsessed with…)，可适当举出一些例子，如经常看相关的书籍、论文、文章、新闻等。在职考生可以强调知识教育对工作的影响： In my work, I find it necessary to broaden my horizons in communication. That’s why I long for entering your prestigious university。

3) 结束时可以用说：That’s all about me. / Well, that’s who I am. Thanks for your attention。

2. 家庭、家乡、学校篇。考官其实是要通过你的家庭、家乡或学校来了解你的成长的环境。

1) 家庭。需要注意的是，考官并不是为了做人口调查而提出这个问题的，所以应该避免流水账似地介绍家庭成员；要尽量说明家人(尤其是父母)对你造成哪些方面 (性格、职业规划、做事风格等)良好的影响。可以参考以下句式结构：Just like my father, I am especially interested in history. / Though my father is an ordinary worker, his responsible attitude towards work has a great influence on me。

2) 家乡。正所谓“一方水土养育一方人”，考官实际上是想从你对家乡的介绍中找出有关你性格、志向的线索。可以从历史、历史人物、著名景点、独特风俗或特产等方面来简单介绍，注意要表达热爱家乡的情感。

3) 学校。如果是本校考生的话，在自我介绍中就可以点到(拉近跟考官的关系)。如果是外校，考官通常会问：Why did you choose our university? 那么我们就可以说说它与报考院校之间的异同，然后说明为什么你选择这个学校(I do love the atmosphere in your university. It is full of youthful spirits。)；要注意的是：一定要说明你对在原来的院校接受教育心存感激之情appreciation(从好的方面说一说)，着重强调希望能被录取，表达自己坚定的决心、展望一下未来。

在面试快结束的时候，一般考官都会问，你有没有什么要问的。除非你是最后一个面试者，你明显感到所有的考官都急切的想离开，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（Questions you should ask the recruiter）:

最后可以说:Thank you for giving me the chance. I hope to see you again and soon.（谢谢您给我机会，我希望很快能再见到
