如今各个用人单位的语言能力，尤其是外语能力，能懂得一门外语确实在应聘时有一些优势。今天这一讲我们就来讲讲在面试时如何表达自己的语言能力。看下面这段对话：
Ａ：You will mainly use English in this job. Do you think you can make yourself understood in English with ease?
Ｂ：Yes, I think I speak English quite fluently. I've often explained historical places in Xi'an to foreign tourists in English. They say my English is quite
good.
Ａ：How long have you been learning English?
Ｂ：Oh, more than ten years. I started learning English when I was still in a primary school from a foreign teacher.
Ａ：Well, perhaps that's the reason why you are so fluent in it.
Ｂ：Thank you.
对话中出现几个单词值得大家注意：
Ease: 安逸，安心。但是在这段对话中是指轻松，灵活地说英语。
Fluently: 流利地，通畅地
还有很多其他相关的单词和词组：
Words & Expression:
American: 美国人，美国的
French: 法国人，法语，法国的
German: 德国人，德语，德国的
Japanese: 日本的，日语，日本人
Spanish: 西班牙人，西班牙语，西班牙的
目前用人单位普遍对英语水平要求较高，还有一些需要小语种人才，而这个要求更多地是使用语言交流沟通的能力，它当然跟聊天不一样，如果你能外国朋友很好地聊天，并不代
表你能适应这份工作，来看一些背景知识：
Background:
口语和聊天相比，有具有以下几个明显的特点：一是主题的明确性。面试时的口语有一个明确的中心，应试者必须按照招聘单位指定的中心内容进行论述的交谈。不像日常聊天那
样经常转换话题，话题具有不可预测性，如果应聘时口语离开中心漫无边际地乱扯，或者答非所问，即使讲的头头是道，也只能以失败而告终。二是表达的逻辑性。日常的聊天往
往是句式松懈、重复累赘、条理不清、颠三倒四，而求职面试的口语则必须讲究表达的逻辑性，要求概念清晰、语意连贯、层次分明、推理严密、言之有据。三是词语的文雅性。
日常聊天经常使用俚语、谚语、歇后语等，具有俚俗性、俏皮性特点。而求职面试时使用的口语必须庄重、文雅、充分体现出求职者高雅的气质和高尚的风貌。四是较强的表演性
。日常聊天时的口语对语音、语调的要求并不高，语言中的弱化、模糊和脱离现象经常出现。而求职面试时的口语既要求语言规范、清晰，又要求其语调富于变化，也就是说，在
口语的表达上要求有较强的表现力，富有表演性。
面试英语第七讲：展示个人能力
面试时我们最想向面试官展现的就是我们的能力了，那么一个人的能力到底是什么呢？通常我们理解为工作能力，技术能力等等，其实不仅仅是这些。我们先来看看关于个人能力
的背景知识：
Background:
个人能力集中表现在社会荣誉、工作业绩、科研成果、著作等，这里最主要的是著作和工作成果。
著作包括所有出版过的书，发表过的论文。这一项对科研、学术工作者尤为重要。如果内容与所申请的职位密切相关，作者不仅应列入其中，而且可扼要介绍作品内容、社会影响
和效果。面试时，应带上作品的原件或复印件。
了解到到底什么是个人能力以后，我们再来看一段对话：
A：Would you talk about your merits?
B：Yes, sir. When I was the sales manager of Beijing Friendship Store, I succeeded in raising yearly sales volume by 25% at profit margins of from 50% to
80%.
A：Have you received any honors or rewards?
B：Yes. I got the title of “Advanced Worker” in 1992 and 1994.
A：Do you have any publications?
B：Yes. My book entitled A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation was published by China Finance Publishing House in 1993.
对话中出现了一些词组用法和单词：
Words & Expressions:
Beijing Friendship Store: 北京友谊商店
Succeed in: 成功
sales volume：销售量
Advanced Worker：先进工作者
A Preliminary Survey of Controlling Inflation：抑制通货膨胀初探
China Finance Publishing House：中国金融出版社
想要清楚地表达自己的个人能力光靠这些词汇和对话是不够的，我们还需要更多的句型和单词，更多基本句型和常用句型.
面试英语第八讲：性格和兴趣爱好
专题TAG: 面试英语 职场英语 兴趣 爱好
通常我们在写完简历之后都会加注一些自己的性格和兴趣爱好之类的内容，而这些内容也是进行面试时经常会提到的话题，尤其是在英语面试的时候，面试方通常会问：How do
you spend your spare time?
性格和兴趣能在面试的时候给你的面试官留下好的印象，为什么不努力来说好呢？今天我们就一起来学习面试英语的最后一讲：如何表达自己的性格和兴趣爱好。下面先来看一段
对话吧：
A：Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they?
B：I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.
A：How do you spend your spare time?
B：I usually read or so some sports.
A：What kind of book are you interested in?
B：My favorite books are those about detectives.
A：Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted?
B：In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too,
especially during these last few years.
A：What kind of sports do you like?
B：I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.
A：What kind of personality do you think you have?
B：Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything
else until the first thing is finished.
……
介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好肯定少不了这方面的词汇和词组，对话中也出现了不少，现在我们来学习一些相关的单词和词组吧：
Words & Expression:
Hobby: 爱好，尤其指业余爱好
Spare time: 空闲时间，业余时间
Be good at: 擅长
Favorite: 最喜欢的，特别喜欢的，中意的
Detective: 侦探，侦探的；在对话中指侦探小说
Performance: 表演，演出
Ballet: 芭蕾舞
Introverted: 内向的，含蓄的，闭关自守的
Extroverted: 外向的，喜社交的
Personality / character / disposition / temperament: 个性，性格
Characteristic: 独特的，特有的，表示特性的
Enthusiastically: 热心地，狂热地
还有很多词就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接着我们来说明一下在简历中或者面试时介绍自己的性格和兴趣爱好的好处：
Background:
个人的兴趣爱好其实主要体现在业余活动上，对于刚入社会的学生来说，业余活动主要就是课外活动。
课外活动包括社会活动和业余爱好。
丰富多彩的课外活动表示你希望丰富自己的社会经验，发挥多方面的才能。通过你所参加的课外活动，可以看出你的交际能力、价格修养、成熟程度和健康状况。比如说你当学生
会主席的经历能够表明你人缘好、善处人际关系、有领导才能等。
因此，如果你曾参加什么课外活动，就如实写出来。这些活动可以帮助雇主了解你，成为有利的条件。课外活动对于刚刚走出校门的朋友来说，是找工作时的一个相当重要的条件
。
面试中被问到失业的经历 你是否能应付自如?
在求职面试中，如果被问到以往失业的经历，你是否能应付自如? 电视上常用的借口--“为了得到更好的工作”，并不适用于所有人。
If you have been fired, you may be afraid that your past will come back to haunt you in your next job interview. After all, you want to impress a potential
new employer, and letting them know about a major failure isn't that impressive. But getting fired is not automatically a deal breaker. 失败的经验往往可以激
励一个人走向成功，世界上很多成功的职业者已经证明了这一点。
So just how do you handle questions about your past? Here are a few strategies to try that might keep you on the "A list" when the interview is over.
1. Plan ahead to answer the question.
既然已经预料到是个棘手的问题，就更要提前准备好怎样回答。 The best thing you can do is to get ready to answer questions about your experience. Prepare in
advance by thinking about your negative work experience. Why were you fired? What did you learn from the experience? What did you do right, and what did you
do wrong? Try to look at the situation objectively and from the employer's point of view, as well as your own. 总是对被解雇耿耿于怀，你就不能在面试的时候冷静
客观地回答这个问题。而你的情绪变化，人力专家是会看出来的。
2. Don't volunteer the information.
尽管在面试的时候实事求是非常重要，但是如果没有必要，你大可不必将失业经历告知招聘人员。 It is acceptable - and advisable - to package the truth in a way that
is most favorable to you.
For example, you can say you "left the company" or briefly mention that job and move on to your next position and what you accomplished there. Keep in mind,
however, that this tactic does not work in all situations. It works best if the firing was several jobs ago and you have more relevant job experience to
discuss.
3. Explain the situation briefly, then focus on the positive.
如果你实在无法避开这个问题的话，你就得简要的解释一下。 For example: "Our company went through a great deal of change in the time that I was employed, as did
my department. Unfortunately, my new supervisor was in need of skills I did not possess at that time."
Once you have explained why you were let go, then it's time to move to the positive. For example: "Since that time I have continuously updated my skills to
make myself a well-rounded contributor. I have taken additional computer classes, become involved with the industry's trade association, and feel that this
job experience made me a better candidate in the long run."
重点是要指出你在失业的经验中学到了什么。你在哪些方面提高了自己。This means learning from the past, but thinking about the future.
4. Stay positive, no matter what.
你被解雇可能是因为老板自身问题，也可能是被同事中伤。 Even if you got the short end of the stick (受到了不公平的待遇), it is your job in the interview to stay
positive and professional. 诋毁以前的公司和领导是非常不可取的。Again, if you are asked about your former boss and have nothing good to say, bite your tongue(
忍住不说) for a minute and focus on your work and what you learned from the situation. 要记住：面试可不是你发泄对糟糕经历不满的时候！

Sample8：英语自我介绍演讲稿
General Introduction
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.
Sample 9: MBA口语复试自我介绍
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 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。）
Sample 10: 复试英文自我介绍
Good morning professors, First of all, please allow me to express my appreciation for the opportunity that you give me to join this interview.
My name is ***, English name Felix. I've got my undergraduate education in Beijing Foreign Studies University, Majoring in *** in School of English and
International Studies. the major for further education that I pursue here in Peking university is ***.
During the four years in BFSU, I've been given the traditional education on both English Literacy and Diplomacy, which cultivated me to view the world in
an international perspective.
I've been foreign teachers' assistant for about three years and learnt to communicate with them and understand their way to think and act. This
experience gives me much deeper understanding of different cultures.
I served as volunteers for many events held by the government and other organizations, such as Fortune Globle Forum 2005 and Euro-Asian Conference
organized by the Ministry of Communications. Thanks to those experience, I used my knowledge in real foreign affairs and increased my abilities in related
aspects.
No matter how much the life in BFSU brought to me, I've been thinking for really a long time about studying something else after graduation as the life-
long direction of study and profession. After analizing all the factors that intrigue me and inspire me, I've chosen a major which contains the factors of
both passion and rationality. This major is Media Management.
I really appreciate it if you could consider my application. If I could have the honor to study here, I promise that I would never fail your expectation.
I'll try my best to study and learn as much as I could, so as to make contribution to the society and our country.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
