現(xiàn)階段,申請英國留學(xué)的人數(shù)越來越多,對于廣大準(zhǔn)留學(xué)生們,如何通過嚴(yán)格的面試已經(jīng)成為申請者所關(guān)心的一個(gè)重要問題。在英國擁有超過10年歷史的英國優(yōu)越教育,從2010年開始真正進(jìn)入中國大陸市場,短短幾年間,其已經(jīng)在英國留學(xué)領(lǐng)域樹立起一面鮮明的旗幟。優(yōu)越教育致力于打造英國留學(xué)的高端品牌,這個(gè)品牌的最終目標(biāo),是真正提升學(xué)生們的留學(xué)質(zhì)量與留學(xué)體驗(yàn)。用優(yōu)越教育倫敦總部執(zhí)行總監(jiān)與首席顧問Jade老師的話,“打造真正致力于提升留學(xué)質(zhì)量與留學(xué)體驗(yàn)的高端品牌,并非噱頭,也不僅僅是口號(hào),它是作為留學(xué)教育機(jī)構(gòu)的一個(gè)使命!” 以下是英國優(yōu)越教育的中國代表處的資深顧問老師為廣大同學(xué)們設(shè)計(jì)的帝國理工學(xué)院大學(xué)相關(guān)的模擬面試與應(yīng)答分析。
面試官:Can you briefly describe your academic background?
面試者:I am a senior 3 student, studying the BC program at Shanghai Nan Yang Model High school, which is affiliated with the University of British Columbia. I excel in mathematics; physics and chemistry that are all tested the highest scores.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1:面試者可以盡可能描述一下所讀過的學(xué)校與專業(yè)的特色,比如211,985工程大學(xué),建校時(shí)間,師資實(shí)力,學(xué)校在中國網(wǎng)大的排名,學(xué)校在哪些學(xué)科上有優(yōu)勢,專業(yè)師資,專業(yè)的被認(rèn)證度,在學(xué)術(shù)上的成果等等,盡可能用數(shù)據(jù)與事例來說明。
面試官:So what do you learn from the subject Mathematics?
面試者: I have learnt a lot from Mathematics because it is my favorite subject. I have learnt the quadratic and cubic equation, trigonometric functions such as sin & cos formula.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2:與其列舉學(xué)過什么理論,還不如說深入地描述所學(xué)的一些理論能夠如何用到實(shí)踐上,同時(shí)是如何影響學(xué)生的人生,專業(yè)與職業(yè)選擇的。當(dāng)然,面試者也可以從自己的角度去分析一下數(shù)學(xué)這個(gè)專業(yè)。
面試官:All right. Take the quadratic equation like U-shaped graph, please explain it to me what are you understanding about it?
面試者:Permit me to take the marketing for example. If you set the price at the lowest, you could make the most profits, and vice versa. Therefore, there is a close link among the sales, profits and price.
面試官:You mention the quadratic equations, so quadratic equations focus on U-shaped graph. Could you explain how would you use that in the real world, and what is the good application of that quadratic formula.
面試者:To this, permit me to take the marketing for example. If you set the price higher you must sell more sales and vice versa. In order to make the most profits, we can use the U shaped graph to find that point.
點(diǎn)評(píng)3:U型拋物線可以應(yīng)用到很多地方,比如說成本最低點(diǎn),利潤最高點(diǎn)等等。
面試官:In general, as a student what are your advantages?
面試者:In my point of view, I think what makes me different from others is my spirit of exploration and determination to solve the problems that occurred in my life. Once I tried to design an earphone after reading some articles online, I bought the required material and tried to design one by myself. The process was not smooth going initially and I encountered different problems. However, I was not discouraged and began to tackle the problems one by one immediately. With my determination and patience, I finally succeeded in making the earphone and the sense of achievement was really enjoyable and I surely have the potential to be a top student in the future.
點(diǎn)評(píng)4:這個(gè)回答還是不錯(cuò)的,融入了自己的故事與經(jīng)歷來說明自己的優(yōu)勢。
面試官:Sounds great. So why do you want to choose the Electric and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London?
面試者:This is a long story. I was supposed to be a music producer in the past as I love music very much and had my own band. At high school, I served as a vice president at Guitar Club. However, as you may know, as child who grew up in a Chinese family, it is not a wise choice for them because their parents will put much pressure on study. But I am fond of collecting many earphones and try to design one as I mentioned before. So I expect to register courses at multiple areas engineering at your university since I am good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, and I want to learn more about the engineering, so I plan to work in such a large enterprise like Sennheiser and Sony. And if possible, I also hope to start my own business after graduation.
點(diǎn)評(píng)5:把自己的經(jīng)歷融入到為什么要申請這個(gè)專業(yè)的回答中,這個(gè)是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的回答。
面試官:It is very ambitious, alright, your interests is music and engineering. There are many entrepreneurs graduating from our university, so you pick a good place, do you have any questions for us?
面試者:Hum, Could I ask what is boy to girl ratio at your university. And I am still single.
面試官:Well, you are lucky, I suppose, it is about 36 girls to 46 boys in the engineering faculty, you will find more boys. Good luck, any other questions?
面試者:Thank you, I also have another question. Could you tell me what is the greatest strength of your university?
面試官:Well, our university has a very high reputation, it is built, and something similar to the version like MIT you know American Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We have a student body which ate diverse and gather students all over the world. So, we have a highly qualified student body and we have really qualified professors as well. Between two of these, we produce rather a lot of fantastic graduates.
點(diǎn)評(píng)6:在被問到自己優(yōu)勢的同時(shí),也問到學(xué)校的優(yōu)勢,一方面可以對所申請的學(xué)校更了解,一方面可以以一種“反向面試”的姿態(tài)與面試官溝通,是面試過程中的一種不錯(cuò)的策略。
面試者:I have learnt a lot about that, thank you very much and I have no other questions.
面試官:What do you often do in your leisure time?
面試者:I often listen to music and watch the films and sometimes go running at weekends.
面試官:Where do you run?
面試者:Do some exercise, I mean in the park in my home.
面試官:Alright, when you are running, your heart rate increases and your heart beats fast, why does it happen?
面試者:This question I think is related to biology, If you are running faster, you need to deliver more oxygen to the muscle, and your body’s metabolic products needs to release them. And such answers could be like your carbon dioxide increases and oxygen will be decreased.
面試官:Alright, how does your body know it is happening?
面試者: I think it is related to body system, and there is a system in my body to process it. The body has a signal from your brain or heart, your heart beats faster because you need to deliver more oxygen and release the carbon dioxide that may be so.
點(diǎn)評(píng)7:這是一個(gè)與電子電氣工程相關(guān)專業(yè)的申請,面試官問及到生物方面的問題。所以對于面試者來說,不僅僅需要對自身專業(yè)有充分的了解,同時(shí)也要有廣泛知識(shí)面,而且還需要在面試的時(shí)候靈活應(yīng)對各種問題。
面試官:And you mention you like reading, what have you read recently?
面試者:Twilight.
面試官:Alright, tell me more about Twilight?
面試者: I read this novel and also watch the movie. It is a romantic love story between Vampire Edward and middle school student Bella. And what I can learn from this movie is that I learn the western style and different ways of thinking that cannot be learnt from the books. I also can improve my spoken English and writing skills.
面試官:What kind of difference between your culture and western culture.
面試者:Chinese people are not as open as western people, not used to thinking every thing more often like westerners. So westerners have different ideas. But as I mention the students in China, they have much pressure from their parents, and they just need to achieve high grades by studying hard on books, so they often have less time to read more, which is different from western culture.
面試官:Alright, thank you very much, Yuanyuan. See you.
面試者:Yes, thank you.
