自我介绍
参考：保研面试/考研复试英文自我介绍模板（30秒、1分钟、2分钟、3分钟） - CSDN博客
英文自我介绍需要以真实为基础，同时有侧重点、精炼。篇幅上，可以按照时间不同准备两个版本，简单的1min和充实的3min版本。内容上，可以根据申请院校的要求和个人优势匹配自我介绍侧重点。大致包括姓名本科院校、专业，成绩排名，科研经历，科研成果，竞赛实习实践，兴趣方向，研究计划等，内容要把握重点，尽量不要说很多与专业无关的内容，比如可以少说爱好多说科研，把时间充分利用好。语言上，注意语速适中以及做好停顿。可以按照以下结构进行自我介绍：
1、考官要求你作自我介绍时，开头可以用一句话引入：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。
(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。
(4) 性格、能力。可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何现极的作用。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。
(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。
(7)结束时可以用说：That's all about me./That's who I am. Thanks for your attention.

After considering a number of factors, and asking seniors for advises, I decide to try my best to get into this school, and that is why I am standing here. To enter xxx(学校) has been my dream for several years. After the failure in college entrance examination 3 years ago, I did not give up this goal, and I firmly believe the effort I paid in the past 3 years is quiet worthy for this.
I choose this university for many reasons. Firstly, to tell the truth, I love and have great interest in this city, which is the capital of China. People here are always helpful, open-minded and well-educated. Furthermore, this is the best university here and famous all over the world, she can provide the students a higher and better platform for learning and doing research, and I believe more opportunities can be offered here.
I have been working diligently in the past 3 years. When I was a sophomore, I began to participate in the competition with the help of the teachers and seniors. At the beginning, I have made some mistakes, and I am afraid of making presentation in front of many people. However, several competition experiences has made me more confident and improved my ability in many aspects.
I also achieved good results, such as winning the special prize in xxx(比赛), and xxx(比赛). I was responsible for the overall planning and the operation of WeChat public platform.
All of these experiences made me more and more interested in my profession, and I hope I can learn more about it, thus I came here, because I do believe that xxx(学校) could provide me the best platform.
Well, in my spare time, I like playing table tennis and reading. While doing sports helps me keep fit physically, reading renders my mind more matured mentally. During vacations, I like to go traveling and I believe it can enhance my social knowledge and experiences.
In the end, I would like to say that I like xxx(学校) very much and want to continue my postgraduate study here. I hope I can achieve it. That is all. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

常见热门问题
（一）Postgraduate
Q1：你为什么选择我们学校继续学习？
Why do you choose to study at our school?
这一题的落脚点是“我们学校(our school)”，要对目标院校的信息有一个全方位的了解。如果是本校生的话，在自我分绍中就可以点到这点，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保研院校之间的异同，然后说明你对这所学校的了解(校史、校训等等)为什么你选择这个学校、夸学校(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成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。

2、provide people with enough room to get further enrichment. (为学生提供足够的发展空间)

Q7：专业书籍（professional books）
What professional books have you read before? What's the main idea of this text?
回答思路：
在专业书籍的选择上需要注意两点：首先是不要选太热门的书，因为你选的书可能会和其他同学撞车，而且热门书籍一般也是入门书籍，会显得你的专业性不够。其次是尽量不要选择在场的面试老师们的书籍，因为时间紧迫你对于书里内容的把握可能并不是十分准确，而老师却十分熟悉书里的内容，这样交流起来你等于时时刻刻在给自己挖坑，同时这种班门弄斧的做法也会加重你的紧张感，影响面试的发挥。
回答建议：(一) 书籍名称 (二) 主要内容 (三) 读后感
Q8：本科课程（favorite subject）
What is your favorite subject and why?
回答思路：
导师提问这道题是想了解一下你专业课的掌握情况，可以结合简历上罗列的主要课程来进行回答，可以选择自己得分比较高的那门课程，回答问题的重点要放在学习这门课程的收获，也就是自己的思考，而不是一味的讲述课程的主要内容，老师需要的不是一个复读机，而是一个有独立思想、有创新意识的研究生。
回答建议：(一) 课程名称 (二) 喜欢原因 (三) 收获
Q9：跨专业的原因（change your major）
Why do you change your major?

Q2：在你家乡气候怎么样？
How would you compare the climate in your hometown with other cities?
Q3：你家乡的人怎么样？
What are the people like in your hometown?
（四）Family & Family Members
需要注意的是，老师并不是为了做人口调查而提出关于家庭的问题的，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.
Q1：你能描述一下你的家庭吗？
Can you tell me something about your family?

Q3：喜欢的书籍
Talk about a book you like.
Q4：你有什么特长？
What are your personal strengths?
（六）Yourself
Q1：优点
Strengths
这是很多老师喜欢问的一个问题，这是“展示自己”的最佳机会，特别是优点，不要吹嘘自己或过于自负，但要让面试老师知道你相信自己。如可答：我认为我最大的优点是能够执着地尽力把事情办好(feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done)。当做完一件工作面其成果又正合我的预想时，我会有一种真正的成就感(I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I'd planned)。我给自己定了一些高目标(set some high goals for myself)。比如说，我要成为出色的毕业生(For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction)。
Q2：缺点
Weaknesses
关于缺点，可以说：缺乏经验(be lack of experience)、缺乏合理的计划(be lack of propel planning)、急于完成任务(be eager to complete an assignment)等等。
相关句型：
My greatest weakness lies...
My greatest weakness is I am...
I think xxx is my greatest weakness.
I'm a perfectionist that I always require myself get a job well done.
Q3：性格
What kind of character do you think you have?
这一题的回答可以参考上面的优缺点的回答，并适当地做一些中性的叙述，比如下面的句子：
I'm inclined to think independently. (我喜欢独立思考)
I can study well under pressure. (我能在压力大的情况下好好学习)
Q3：你从xx经历中学到了什么？
What have you learned from your xxx experience?
思路点拨：说明组织名称职务+做了什么事，这些事给自己带来了哪些能力的提升，比如组织能力(organizational ability)、管理能力(management ability)、团队合作的意识(a sense of teamwork)等等
文献翻译
文献翻译可以通过笔试和面试来考，笔试可以通过给一段英文专业文献，要求翻译为中文，或者给一段英文文献要求写出文献的摘要；面试可以通过每人抽取一道题目，然后朗读出文献内容，读完需要总结文献内容，这类考察既考察英文阅读速度与理解分析能力，又能考察口语能力和英语语感，比如阅读时如何断句，单 词阅读准确性等。
文献翻译总体来说是一个考察知识面的考察方式，会遇到许多专有名词，若此类单词不认识，会造成整个文章理解出问题，若单词翻译有误，老师便会怀疑你的专业能力，所以对此类问题，应提前准备了解一下本专业前沿领域以及其英文名词。
简单来说就是，平时多看论文、多积累。
