博士/研究生面试时的英语技巧
博士面试中的英语部分，其实研究生复试也完全适合，基本上都是聊聊天，但开了口就要把英语说好，这时候基础不好的同学就必须提前做好准备了。
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 audacious 有冒险精神的 adaptable 适应性强的 capable 有能力的，有才能 active 主动的，活跃的 careful 办理仔细的
aggressive 有进取心的 candid 正直的
ambitious 有雄心壮志的 competent 能胜任的
amiable 和蔼可亲的 constructive 建设性的 amicable 友好的 cooperative 有合作精神的 analytical 善于分析的 creative 富创造力的
apprehensive 有理解力的 dedicated 有奉献精神的 aspiring 有志气的，有抱负的 dependable 可靠的
diplomatic 老练的，有策 learned 精通某门学问的
disciplined 守纪律的 logical 条理分明的
dutiful尽职的 methodical 有方法的
well-educated 受过良好教育的 modest 谦虚的
efficient 有效率的 objective 客观的
energetic 精力充沛的 precise 一丝不苟的
expressivity 善于表达 punctual 严守时刻的
faithful 守信的，忠诚的 elastic 实事求是的
frank 直率的，真诚的 responsible 负责的
generous 宽宏大量的 sensible 明白事理的
genteel 有教养的 sporting 光明正大的
gentle 有礼貌的 steady 踏实的
humorous 有幽默 systematic有系统的
impartial 公正的 purposeful 意志坚强的
independent 有主见的 sweet-tempered性情温和的 industrious 勤奋的 temperate 稳健的
ingenious 有独创性的 tireless 孜孜不倦的
motivated 目的明确的
intelligent 理解力强的
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。）

这是很多面试考官喜欢问的一个问题，这是你

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.
What is your greatest weakness?（你最大的弱点是什么？）
你不应该说你没有任何弱点，以此来回避这个问题。每个人都有弱点，最佳策略

I think I did well in school. In fact, in a number of courses I received the highest exam scores in the class. As an intern for the X Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.
General Introduction 参考一篇很不错的自我介绍吧
I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.
Education background
In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.
At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of
Excellent Graduation Thesis.
Research experience and academic activity
When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow
down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.
In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.
