求职英语—关于教育背景的问题.docVIP

美联英语提供：关于教育背景的问题 两分钟做个小测试，看看你的英语水平 /test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0 1. Why did you select your major area of study? 你为什么选择了这个专业？ 问题分析： 外国面试官更喜欢提“为什么”的问题， 他希望申请人是一个有主见的人。 回答示范1： I was quite good at mathematics and physics back in high school so I chose a related major, Telecommunications. I also applied for the major of computer science. You know, these two majors are the hottest these years. 点评1： 实话实说。 回答示范2： As a matter of fact, I didn’t select the major of Geography Education at all, because I have never wanted to be a teacher. I had chosen Business Administration, Economics and Logistics Management when I applied to Zhongshan University, but unfortunately I failed to get into these hottest majors. The score I got on the College Entrance Examination was about ten points less than the minimum requirement. The school allocated me to a cold major, Geography Education, hehe. Luckily, I could select a second focus. I chose Public Relations Management to be my minor area of study. What was that saying? “When God closes the door, he opens a window.” Hehe. 点评2： 这个回答似乎很长， 但是却不得不这么长。这是一个典型的中国特色， 如果你的分数够不上第一志愿， 学校就把你打入某一个“冷宫”专业去， 而你为了进入这所一流的大学不得不屈服。这种怪现象制造出很多感觉自己比窦娥还冤的“冤男怨女”， 学着“地理教育”却痛恨从事教师职业， 学着“国际政治”却连国际新闻都懒得看！这个回答的优点在于： 第一， 向外国面试官普及了一下中国特色； 第二， 强调了自己对商业和管理一贯的热诚； 第三， 告诉对方其实自己高考只差10分才没进去最热门的专业； 第四， 自己是个不轻言放弃的人， 主修学不成用辅修来弥补； 第五， 把上帝拉进来， 显出你的幽默。 回答示范3： I selected Business English as I was quite good at English back in high school. Apart from this, my high school teachers recommended that I select a major related to business, since I showed some good qualities for business management at a young age. So, I chose this major, business plus English, two in one, hehe. 点评3： 这个回答强调了自己的两大优点： 第一， 英语好； 第二， 早在高中就已经是老师心目中适合从商的人。自夸而不着痕迹， 实在是高哇！ 2. What subjects were your favorite? Why? 你最喜欢的课程是什么， 为什么？ 问题分析： 与中国面试官一样， 对于应届毕业生， 外国面试官经常问问有关学业方面的问题。面试官喜欢的申请人， 是对自己专业的优缺点分析得头头是道的人。 回答示范1： I liked Marketing Principles and Sales Management because the two courses provided us with the most up
