考研复试英语口试日常问题及连续表达问题

一、考研复试英语口试的相关事项

对考研复试英语口语的考查，各个学校情况各不相同。有的学校制定了非常 详细的标准和流程，甚至规定了每个老师发问的方式和时间；有的只是面试老师的自由发挥，成绩也基本上由面试老师主观判定。不管面试是否严格控制，考生 对下面几个问题一定要认真准备：
一是：自我介绍，如自己来自什么地方，毕业学校，所学专业，业余喜好，家庭基本情况等信息。
二是：做好用英语讲解自己专业 的准备。
口语测试时老师有可能要求你就本专业展开话题，考查你用英语讲解陌生概念的能力。因此考生对此要有所准备，先用笔头组织这些问题的要点，然后再以 这些词组织语言。在阅读专业文献时，也要多积累一些专业方面的英语词汇。当然提问的问题不可能难度太高。

1、考试形式：内容包括自我介绍和提问回答，一般是一到两名老师参与口语考试，首先是考生自我介绍，其次是老师对同学的即兴提问。

2、提问一般包含如下两部分：
第一部分：考查学生理解并回答有关日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力（3–5分钟）。
第二部分：考查学生连续表达的能力。考生从所给的问题中选择一个话题，就此话题表达自己的看法（7–10分钟）。

3、评价成绩一般为：
（1）优秀——能用外语就指定的话题进行口头交流，基本没有困难。
（2）良好——能用外语就指定的题材进行口头交流，虽有些困难，但不影响交流。
（3）及格——能用外语就指定的话题进行简单的口头交流。
（4）不及格——不具有口头表达能力。

I am sure if students like their teacher very much, they will begin to enjoy the course taught by the teacher. Finally, I hope a good teacher can become a real friend to his students. I mean, a good teacher can be trusted by his students. Well, sometime, students would come across problems in real life, they don’t want to ask their parents for help. Instead, they would find some advice from their friends. If their friends are also teenagers, students would ask some adult friends for advice. I think a good teacher can play such a role.

参考答案：
Well, from the topic I can see a student leaves his high school and steps into a university where all is new to him. He would soon become familiar with everything. I think he should enjoy living on campus first. Some universities have required first-year students to live in dormitories on campus, which is exactly a good policy.First of all, living on campus is safe because teachers will take care of the first-year students. For example, dormitories are examined by teachers daily so thatthe living environment can be kept safe. I still remember my tutor on campus examined our dormitory every night and forced us to go sleeping before 22:00.Well, Strangers were not allowed to enter our dormitory. Next, there are many facilities on campus such as the library, and the swimming-pool. Students can relax themselves after school by reading in the library and swimming. As for me, I really enjoyed swimming and I was lucky because there was a large swimming-pool on campus. Besides, I suppose living on campus can become an effective way for students to learn how to communicate with others. I mean, several students can share one dormitory. They would have many opportunities to exchange their ideas and thoughts so that they can understand communication and cooperation are very important. Gradually, they can be good at communication and cooperation with others. Instead, living off campus could not offer such advantages to first-year students. Students have no ability to manage the practical problems such as safety. And rental for a place to live in is higher than that for living on campus.Last, I think it is also unlikely for teachers to be responsible for the life and development of students who live off campus.

   Mother 作主语,后面加题目主干.可用原因状语从句引出你的 1,2,3 的概括原因.
   Teacher
   „A good teacher makes herself available to all students, however, knows which students need extra
   assistance.
   „A good teacher is an effective communicator, however, who knows when she needs to change her
   communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional concepts.
   „A good teacher allows students to ask questions, however, does not answer questions without drawing from other students’ learning experience first.
   „A good teacher has classroom rules and procedures which help students know what is expected from them and how the students can help themselves.
   „A good teacher encourages cooperation and sets an example with other students and faculty.
   „A good teacher respects all students and encourages good performance.
   „Demonstrate an empathy with student thinking, anticipate misconceptions and allow students to develop
   understanding in a variety of ways.
   „Observe students in class for signs that they are failing to keep up, are bored, or are not understanding
   „Show flexibility in responding to student needs.
   „Genuinely want students to learn, understand and develop critical thinking abilities, as well as master
   content or learn skills
   „Encourage students to take an active role in working through difficulties and take time to work through
   concepts in detail with those who have difficulties
   „Teachers who show enthusiasm for subject, professional area and teaching role motivate students as they
   look forward to coming to that class
   „Highly effective teachers are viewed as “easy going”, “relaxed”, with an “open” manner. This
   brings a relaxed atmosphere to the classroom
   „Communicate effectively.
   „Are resourceful and positive and adopt a problem-solving approach
   „Are creative and imaginative and have an open attitude to change
   „There is a saying," GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, TEACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR
   A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of a good teacher… She/he should be patient and kind, flexible
   and resourceful, tolerant and open minded with a good sense of humor. Enthusiastic and enjoys teaching.
   should be honest, imaginative and creative. Efficient. Self-disciplined. Helpful. Humble and modest.
   Leader
   Have a vision. Effective leaders and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a direction—an
   attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you don’t know where you are going, you are
   irrelevant to you followers. With a vision you can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights—
   an important function of any leader. The visionary process is made up of fundamentally three steps:
   discovering the vision, disseminating the vision and finally, driving the vision forward.
   Seize opportunity. Look for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who
   are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especially those that come from
   different backgrounds and age groups. See movies and plays, read books and visit museums. These will
   broaden your outlook and develop a deeper well from which to draw from. We must learn to observe
   closely and accurately. Above all, we must stay comfortable with “not knowing … but finding out.”
   Learn to delegate. Only do what can’t be done by someone else.
   Reward results!
   Communication is key. Be accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old
   model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executing orders does not work in
   today’s environment. The person at the top cannot be the only leader. There have to be various people
   within the company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are
   waiting to be told what to do. That doesn’t work.
   Be proactive. Promote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organization. Be
   accountable for what you do. If there is an issue in the company, don’t say you didn’t know anything about it.
   Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.
   A business leader has to keep her organization focused on the mission. That sounds easy, but it can be
   tremendously challenging in today’s competitive and ever-changing business environment. A leader also
   has to motivate potential partners to join the cause.

   老人与海 The Old Man and the Sea
   When I have time, I read books. My favorite book is the Old Man and the Sea which is written by Ernest
   Hemingway, one of the greatest American writers.
   The book told us a story about an old man called Diego who did fishing in Cuba. Though he came across lots
   of difficulties on the sea and came back without a single fish, he was optimistic and still held the hope.
   Diego is like a mirror which reflects what Hemingway wanted to tell all of us: Never give up and the final
   success will come right after the last try. I’ve stuck on that wisdom all the time ever since I read this book for that
   story makes me believe there is no stronger thing ever than a strong human belief.

   Introduce your favorite area in your city.
   What place you never visited before you want to visit most?
   Places like:
4. Summer Palace
5. Forbidden City
   Sample answer
   Summer Palace.
   It is one of the finest sights in the city. The summer palace is an immense park that attracts people from all
   around the world to see it. The park used to be a summer residence for emperors, empresses and their families.
   The park is divided into four sections: court reception, residences, temples and strolling or sightseeing areas.
   The Forbidden City (Imperial Palace)
   In the heart of Beijing, it is the largest and most complete imperial palace and ancient building complex in
   China, and the world at large. Its construction began in 1406 and was completed 14 years later, having a history so
   far of some 580 years. Twenty-four emperors from the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties lived and ruled
   China from there. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City were rebuilt many times, although they maintained
   the original architectural style.
   Meanings of both of them
   Records the history path to tell us the legends of our ancestors, especially good for our young people to get
   familiar with our past.
   Symbols of Chinese traditional and rich culture. The traditional constructions tell the intelligence of our great
   architects.
   It stands there to make us understand our past, what we must do are to absorb the essence and discard the
   dregs.

   五、Movie

5. Do you often go to the cinema/theatre? Which cinema do you often go to?. 4. Who’s your favorite film star? Can you describe him/her to me?
6. What qualities do you think are important for a successful or good film?
   There are many good films such as “Gone with the Wind”, “Sound of Music”. I think these films are
   successful because the noble ideas and tender sentiments are really able to touch the heart of the audience. So for a
   good film, the plot, the skill of the director, the performance of actors and actress are all important factors. In
   addition to the talent of a director and a movie star, a film’s social message is of great importance, too. Such as
   marriage, divorce, children and money, they are always true to life. Besides, I think the script plays a big part of a
   film. Without a good script, even if the director, the leading actor and actress are first-rate, the film can’t possibly
   be first-rate. If a story is too shallow, the film stars won’t have any chance to show their talent. Also, people such
   as supporting actors and actresses, cameramen and composers are important, too.
   六、Success
   Describe the most unforgettable/recent success in your life.
   You should say: What it is? When and where did you do it? How did you get it? Why it is important for
   you?
   I would like to tell you something about my excellent diploma project. In March this year, I started to prepare
   for my diploma project. The grade of the diploma project was very important for me to apply for the University of
   Sydney, so I must try my best to do it well. At that time my buddy and I were practicing in the Great Wall
   Securities Company of Shenzhen, so our tutor suggested us to develop a System of Internet Stocks Analysis.
   However, our major was Computer Science and we didn’t know a little about securities, so it was a great attempt
   and challenge to us. At first I had no confidence, but my parents and my tutor all encouraged me. As is a common
   saying that ”Could you see the rainbow without experiencing the rainstorm?”, I understood that it was necessary
   to experience a certain difficulty on the way to success. So I made up my mind to grasp the nettle. Then I went to
   the Book Shopping Center, went to the library, and surfed the Internet to collect information. It took me a month
   to read a great number of books and some famous softwares, taking the essence and discarding the dregs. The
   process of developing software was filled with not only difficulty but also delight. We had no experience in
   developing software, so we had to do everything gropingly. During this time, our tutor gave much good advice to
   us. With her great help and our great effort, we overcame the main difficulty at last. We were very excited and felt
   on top of the world. Through hard working for two months, we completed the System of Internet Stocks Analysis
   in the end. The competitive examination was another difficulty. Four learned professors continually put complex
   questions to me. At the beginning, I was quite nervous. But I had profound understanding on my diploma project,
   so soon I was composed myself and answered every question carefully. Finally the professors were satisfied with
   smile. Fortunately my diploma project got a grade of excellent. The process of getting success was very
   unforgettable. And I knew that the hard working and the strong will are the most important things to success.
   (Pig: I would like to tell you something about my excellent thesis. In March this year, I started to prepare for
   my thesis. The grade of the thesis was very important for me to apply for the University of Sydney, so I must try
   my best to do it well. My topic was about the cost of the law, that means to analyze the law through economic
   method. It was a great attempt and challenge to me, because my major was Law and I didn’t know much about
   Economics. However, as is a common saying that ”Could you see the rainbow without experiencing the
   rainstorm?”, I understood that it was necessary to experience a certain difficulty on the way to success. So I made
   up my mind to grasp the nettle. Then I went to the Book Shopping Center, went to the library, and surfed the
   Internet to collect information. It took me a month to read a great number of books and some famous dissertations,
   taking the essence and discarding the dregs. When I had a clear idea, I started writing. During this time, my tutor
   and my mother gave much good advice to me. With their great help, I completed the thesis at last. The competitive
   examination was another difficulty. Three learned professors continually put complex questions to me. At the
   beginning, I was quite nervous. But I had profound understanding on my thesis, so soon I was composed myself
   and answered every question carefully. Finally the professors were satisfied with smile. Fortunately my thesis got
   a grade of excellent. The process of getting success was very unforgettable. And I knew that the hard working and
   the strong will are the most important things to success.)
   七、Education / School
   1.What kind of teaching material do you think is a good one? Is it necessary to improve the teaching
   material?
7. What do you think of the popularity of English in China?
   I think it’s the inevitable. I mean the world is getting closer and closer, so it’s inevitable that the world begins
   to use a common language. That means you can get a larger range of knowledge if you understand English. If you
   want to do well in business you should at least know a little English. Some of the best industries in the future will
   be involved in the international trade so if you are good at English you will have more and better opportunities.
   Therefore the popularity of English in China is really for practical reasons.
8. How can education be reformed to meet the future challenges?
   I think that we should pay more attention to the higher education. That means the government should put a
   great deal of money on the improvement of the facilities in the university, and allocate more funds on the
   academic research. We should attract better professors to enhance the quality of education. Moreover, I think there
   should be more opportunities for long-distance learning programs from various universities around the world so
   that many Chinese can get the benefit of overseas education without traveling so far to other countries.
   八、Childhood
   1.What was your favorite story in your childhood?
   It is an interesting question. Let me see. In my childhood, the story “the wolf is coming ” impressed me. It’s
   about a little shepherd who always told a lie that the wolf was coming so at last his sheep were all bitten by the
   wolf. This story will affect me all my life. It reminds me that we should be honest and reliable.
   3.What is the most memorable thing in your childhood?
   I remember that when I was young, one day I went out by myself and got lost. When I was helpless, an old man
   gave me a favor and sent me home. It impressed me deeply. And I often tell to myself that I should try my best to
   help others.
   九、Festival
   1.What do you do during the spring festival?
   I usually spend the time with my parents. We eat delicious food, visit family and friends, and watch TV to
   welcome the New Year. I also like to try and contact my school friends and see how they’re doing and what they’re
   up to. We give presents each other and we buy ourselves new clothes to wear for the New Year.
   十、Music
9. What role do you think music play in our life?
   Just as other kinds of art, music has become an indispensable part of human civilization. It brings us with
   nutritious spiritual food and enriches our leisure life. In addition, music can elicit the imagination of us. And it
   teaches us how to distinguish beauty from the nature. Listening to the music, I am sure you will soon be refreshed
   from a day’s hard work.
   E a clean and safe work place.
   十一、TV programs
   1.How does the TV set change in China? Compared to ten years ago, and how will it develop?
   Ten years ago, Chinese TV set’s manufacture mostly depended on foreign technique, so if the people had
   enough money they would like to buy imported TV, because Chinese TV was really not so good in quality.
   However, now Chinese TV set is not only low in price and good in quality, deeply loved by Chinese people, but
   also is exported to many foreign countries and gain high evaluation. From this we can see that today the
   manufacturing technique of Chinese TV set has made great progresses and even formed its own characteristic,
   such as digital TV set. And I think in the future ten years, web TV will be developed gradually. Internet will be
   brought in to the TV, or endow TV the function of Internet, and people can even use TV to get on line.
   十二、Friend
10. what kind of person you dislike?
    I dislike the person who has the following shortcomings. He often deceives others and speaks of other’s evils
    or boasts of his own merits. In addition, he makes more friends with those who can offer help. The friendship
    often breaks up if the friends are of no use to him. I am sick of this kind of person.
