【摘要】复试中的英语口试占了很大比重，考研er要了解口试的流程，才能做到临场不乱，同时对于一些常见的问题，要事先准备好答案。

　　研究生复试一般分为专业课复试与英语复试，英语复试主要是口语测试。我们需要总结常见热门话题，无论参加哪种形式的口语考试，说一口流利、准确的英语都是通过考试的关键所在。因此，语言的基本功与长期的口语素材积累至关重要。

　　▶备考环节

　　1、应试材料的准备

　　为了准备口语考试，可以准备一些材料，如 、《英语中级口语教程》《四、六级英语口语应试》等。当然如果了解口语考试的形式与内容，选择针对其考试的口语材料更为有效。

　　2、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口试常考的话题，常见热门话题总结如下：Laid-off workers problem、Reforms of housing policy 、Going abroad 、 Globalization 、 Information age 、 Environmental protection and economic development 、Online learning 、Economic crisis 。

　　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。

　　3、熟悉考场情况与考试流程

　　（1）进入考场：入室前要敲门，接着向考官问候，好的开始是成功的一半，虽不起眼但关系到你给考官的第一印象。

　　（2）自我介绍：要求简洁、有新意，能够让考官微笑，但绝不可勉强。最重要的是，发音要准，不要太快，以别人听懂为目的。但注意一定要听考官的指示语，听到考官说：Can you introduce yourself briefly/ say something about yourself 后再开始。

　　其实现在许多口语考试为了避免考生背诵准备好的自我介绍，都去除了这个部分，而是由一些简单问题来代替，如：Where are you from？Could you say something about your hometown/Could you say something about your family/What do you usually do in your leisure time？ 等。

　　（3）回答考官问题：此处不再赘述，但有一点要强调，回答问题要加上你的 reason，千万不要只回答“YES”或“NO”

　　（4）讨论：此处要适当表达自己的观点、看法，但一定要注意表达方式，要不偏激、中立客观的看待问题。discussion 在考试中占了很大一部分时间。

　　（5）最后问题：建议最后一个考官的问题要尽可能多说，但要保证说到点子上。这是你进一步展示自己的大好机会，如果前面答题不太理想，也可借此补救一下。

　　（6）结束：考官明确说出：This is the end of the test thank you.说明考试正式结束。站起来，拿好自己的东西与考官说再见：Thank you goodbye. 或 Thank you for your interview, goodbye，然后离开。注意考试结束后不要问老师关于得分的问题，应该马上礼貌的离开。

　　▶常见问题

　　1、What can you tell me about yourself?

　　这个问题并不是要你介绍你的简历，老师是希望你能通过一件小事，了解你的处理方式，从而看出你的性格、优势，与哪位老师比较匹配等。

　　The following is a good example of a positive response. In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in.

　　As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied.

　　 It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best."

　　2、What is your greatest strength?

　　这个问题是想要了解你对你的专业、对你的学校，包括对以后的研究生生活的自信程度，让他们看到你作为研究生的优势。

　　I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I'd planned. I've set some high goals for myself.

　　 For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year, I made up for it by doing an honor's thesis.

　　3、What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?

　　毕业五年之后的规划，这个问题你可以通过与学长学姐聊天或者同其他已经毕业的学生交流看看他们的做法，结合自身的优势，给出你的回答。

　　I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also.

　　4、Why do you choose this major?

　　为什么选择报考专业？这个问题是老师比较喜欢的一个问题。需要你表达自己对专业的喜欢，现在开始可以多查看相关的专业文章，对专业术语了解清楚，在复试中会有加分的机会。

　　I major in International Trade and have great interest in it. International trade currently become increasingly important in the world of globalization, and those companies desirous to file themselves into the international market and have to confront plenty of issues.

　　 Thus, corresponding emphasis have been put on these issues in this field. But during my college study and internship period, I have found I have many to study, so it is very necessary and urgent for me to grasp firmly and comprehensively the relevant knowledge of international trade.

　　That is why I chose this major. Now I look forward to enriching my scope in this field in our university.

　　5、Why do you change your major?

　　为什么跨专业？这是跨专业考研同学几乎必背的一个问题，多说报考专业的未来发展，少说原专业不合适。

　　I show keen interest in the （报考专业） studies, 报考方向 in particular, even though my major is 原专业. You might ask me why, well, let’s tell you like this. 原专业 are too abstract, full of terms, far away from the real world. I don’t mean that 原专业 is useless.

　　But 报考专业 studies seem more challenging, and promising for my future career. My plan is like this: start my work in a 相关行业 firm and work as a 专业人士 so that I can try my best to help the clients, who they’re and where they’re from, whether they’re rich or poor.

　　That’s why I made up my mind to change my major and applied for this law school.
