一、 第一句话(first word)见到考官的第一句话,很关键,不用说的很复杂。可以是一个简单句,但一定要铿锵有力。展示出自信和实力。千万不要来一句“sorry, my English is poor”.常见的开头有:1. Good morning! may I introduce myself ..2. I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. I’m peter white, my NO is …(北大清华等学校参加面试的考生很多,可能对考生有一个编号,说一下自己的编号显得很职业,也很正式。)
二、作自我介绍——成长经历(making a self-introduction ——developing history)有很多学校要求做一个自我介绍,这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。考官是要在你的介绍中寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。来判断你是否适合读MBA。你可以先介绍一下成长的经历,出生地和毕业学校等内容。在这一部分要介绍的有些特色,让老师在听几十个人流水帐式的介绍中增加一点乐趣,就权且当作MBA人际关系管理的第一个挑战吧!I come from ******,the capital of *******Province. I graduated from the ******* department of *****University in July ,1997. (很简单的一句话,一定要发音准确!要把毕业学校的英文准确名字搞清楚了。)
你可以借光一下家乡的名人,可以用这句高水平的话,展示高超你高超的口语。You know, there is a saying that “The greatness of a man lends a glory to a place”. I think the city really deserves it.另外在介绍性格和爱好的时候,适合把家庭介绍结合在一起,可以说父母给了你哪些方面良好的影响。不要流水帐似的介绍家庭成员。可以这么说:Just like my father, I am open-minded ,quick in thought and very fond of history. Frequently I exchange ideas with my family during super. In addition , during my college years, I was once the chairman of the Student Union. These work have urged me develop active and responsible characters.
在这里给出描述个人品质常用词汇的中英文对照,可以参考。able 有才干的,能干的 adaptable 适应性强的 active 主动的,活跃的aggressive 有进取心的 ambitious 有雄心壮志的 amiable 和蔼可亲的 amicable 友好的 analytical 善于分析的 apprehensive 有理解力的aspiring 有志气的,有抱负的 audacious 有冒险精神的 capable 有能力的,有才能careful 办理仔细的 candid 正直的 competent 能胜任的constructive 建设性的 cooperative 有合作精神的 creative 富创造力的dedicated 有奉献精神的 dependable 可靠的 diplomatic 老练的,有策disciplined 守纪律的 dutiful尽职的 well-educated 受过良好教育的efficient 有效率的 energetic 精力充沛的 expressivity 善于表达faithful 守信的,忠诚的 frank 直率的,真诚的 generous 宽宏大量的genteel 有教养的 gentle 有礼貌的 humorous 有幽默 impartial 公正的 independent 有主见的 industrious 勤奋的ingenious 有独创性的 motivated 目的明确的 intelligent 理解力强的learned 精通某门学问的 logical 条理分明的 methodical 有方法的modest 谦虚的 objective 客观的 precise 一丝不苟的 punctual 严守时刻的 elastic 实事求是的 responsible 负责的sensible 明白事理的 sporting 光明正大的 steady 踏实的 systematic有系统的 purposeful 意志坚强的 sweet-tempered性情温和的temperate 稳健的 tireless 孜孜不倦的
三、作自我介绍——职业发展(making a self-introduction ——career development)这是很关键的一部分,也是MBA考官会重点考察的一部分。要把工作经历和MBA的学习以及职业发展方向作为一个整体来谈,让老师感到你选择MBA是一个理性的选择而不是一时冲动,选择MBA是职业发展中的一个必然选择,而不是因为找不到工作。你可以用这些句型: 1、In the past years, I’ve worked at IBM as a software engineer. In my work, I found communication and management is very important. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. So I choose MBA! if I am given a chance to study MBA in this famous University, I will stare no effort to master a good command of communication and management skill.(在过去的几年中,我作为一个软件工程师在IBM工作。在工作中,我发现交流和管理非常的重要。我一直认为一个人很容易落后,如果不持续学习的话,所以我选择了MBA!如果我有机会在这个著名的大学学习MBA,我会不遗余力的掌握沟通和管理的技能。)

In addition to ordinary sales activities and management of department, responsible for recruiting and training of sales staff members. (销售部经理。除了正常销售活动和部门管理之外,还负责招聘与训练销售人员。)关于过去工作的描述是很重要的,同学们一定要熟记这些句型。要根据自己的工作经历改造这些句子。 如果你的工作有过比较多的改变,你可以这样来描述原因:
9. Unfortunately I have had to leave my position, as my employers have been forced to liquidate their business due to the worldwide economic adversity.(很不幸地,本人不得不离职,因这一次世界性的经济不景气,使我的雇主不得不结束业务。)
10.The only reason why I am leaving the present position is to gain more experience in a trading office. (本人之所以离开目前的工作岗位,唯一的理由是希望能在一家贸易公司获得更多的经验。)

Self-introduction:
Good morning, everyone! I am glad to be here for this interview. First,
let me introduce myself to you. My name is Qin Jiayin. I was born on April
23, 1981. I am a local person.I am graduating from Jilin Normal University
(应该是这样译) this June. I major in Chinese literature. I hope I could get the
opportunity to finish my postgraduate courses in Jilin University which I
have desired for a long time. I have the confidence because I have such
ability! I am a girl who is fervent, outgoing and creative. At the same
time, I think I am quick in mind and careful in everything. I am looking
forward to my postgraduate studies and life. I will soon prove that your
decision of choosing me is the wisest. Thank you for giving me such a
valuable opportunity!
Reasons for taking postgraduate exams:
First of all, I love my major. Chinese literature is the symbol of the
start of Chinese literary modernization. It plays an important part in
modernization of our citizens’ thoughts. What’s more, modern literature is
very close to our daily life and it can deeply reflect the styles and
features of our society. I am fascinated by the great masters’ refreshing
or warm or profound styles as well. But I am not easily satisfied with
such superficial knowledge. I hope I could have a better understanding in
modern literature by studying further. This is a very important reason for
me to take the postgraduate exams.
Next, I love the feeling in the university. It is full of youthful
spirit. And I am deeply attracted by the scholarly atmosphere. And the
most important, it’s my great honor to open my ears to your teaching.
Finally, I want to talk about a very practical problem. That is my
dream of becoming a teacher in the university. I want to realize my dream
and make myself to be a well-qualified person. I think the postgraduate
studies can enrich my knowledge and make me competent in my future job.
That’s my simple and clear reasons why I took the postgraduate exams.
My university:
I’m graduating form Jilin Normal University this June which has a
history of 50 years. It shares many same characteristics with Jilin
University. Both of them have a refreshing and scholarly atmosphere. Four
years’ studying there made me an independent, optimistic and strict girl.
I appreciate the education my university gave me.
