在这里列出一些最常用的句子,要熟读,在面试中要熟练。看起来很简单,可是要做到脱口而出,不一定很简单。
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.

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。)
