播播给你答案:从英语开始抓起!
01
复试英语不重要?尊嘟假嘟?
当然是假嘟!!!
很多同学在准备复试时都存在一个误区,那就是认为复试英语不重要,但作为过来人的播播告诉你,复试英语有的时候真的是“必杀技”!
一方面,绝大部分院校的英语复试考核都是本院老师作为主面试官进行提问,还有一些学院的英语考核直接跟中文专业面试放在一起(而且还是先来英语的那种)。
因此,英语口语的水平不仅会直接影响面试官对咱们的第一印象,而且直接会影响到咱们接下来专业面试的状态(播播这种张口灾难星人的噩梦时间),播播就曾在面试完之后听到院校老师对于英语能力好同学的肯定,可以说,英语口语绝对是我们复试中关键性的一环,用得好绝对能成为“杀手锏”。
另一方面,相信大家自身也深有体会,作为“千万人挤独木桥”式的考核,大家在专业复习方面一定是卯足了劲地往前冲,要多努力就有多努力,而且一旦能够入围复试,说明大家的专业知识储备都大差不差,那在这个时候,谁的英语能力更强,胜算便更大一分,尤其是在这种卷的不能再卷的形势下,光卷专业复试已经远远不够了,英语也要卷起来才行!
而且,回归现实的话,播播实在太能理解大家现在这个阶段玩又心怀内疚、学又坐立难安的复杂心情,这个时候让大家一个猛子抓紧知识的海洋里未免有点强人所难,而复试英语绝大多数情况下都主打一个对听说能力的考察,面试的问题相对来说专业性并不算太强,相对来说比较好上手,作为复试的一个过渡;
更为重要的是,像英语听说能力这种“玄之又玄”的个人技能,绝非一朝一夕就能拿捏,因此播播也建议大家从现在开始,养成每天听说的习惯,逐步增强自身的英语听说能力(此处狠狠cue一下跟播播一样的英语哑巴选手)。
02
复试英语考什么?怎么考!
不同院校英文面试成绩的比重不同(大家可以提前查一下官网通知,做到心中有数),但基本的流程和考核方式都大差不差,主要还是以面试为主,包括1-3分钟自我介绍(一般1min为主)、主题对话、老师提问这几个环节。因此,只要我们把每个环节的基本内容好好梳理准备一遍,面试时再将这些背熟的内容适当表达出来就不成大问题。
首先是自我介绍。一般来说,只要院校给了你这个show time,那么它就一定是英语面试的关键部分,因为接下来的提问环节很大程度上都会跟你在自我介绍中提到的信息有关。
因此,大家在准备自我介绍的时候除了要保证时间合适、语法正确之外,也要学会引导老师进行提问,这个引导一方面体现在内容本身,另一方面还跟我们的语音语调有关系。因此,播播建议大家在准备英文自我介绍的时候一定要先把内容想清楚,尤其是自己的核心优势,同时也要多加练习,把关键信息部分的语音语调掌握到位,确保我们在面试现场的有效输出。
其次是老师提问。老师提问的部分和自我介绍以及主题对话都有重合。老师的提问要么是基于你自我介绍展开的一些生活化问题,主要围绕个人基本信息和日常生活(吃、喝、玩、乐、住、行)展开,与雅思口语真题有一定重合度。这类题目难度总体低于专业类问题,但通常无准备时间,需立即作答,且回答时长不能太短,最好保持2-3分钟回答。比如:
生活化问题往年真题
考生回忆版
1.Why do you choose Journalism and Communication as your major in the postgraduate period?
2.Tell me one reason,only one,why should we accept your application?
3.Please introduce one of your favorite book/movie/song.
4.Tell me something about the customs of your hometown.
5.Could you tell me something about your family?
要么是类似于专业面试一样的新传专业性问题,围绕新传专业理论知识展开,通常包括经典概念名词解释、社会热点事件评析等。根据不同院校要求,考生或有一分钟思考时间,再进行作答。作答完成后,面试老师可能再次追问。答题难度不亚于专业课复试,比如:
生活化问题往年真题
考生回忆版
1.igital divide has merged among the old since they don’t know how to show the Health Code in phones. What’s your opinion about this phenomena?(浙大)
2.What do you think of the media reports about the COVID-19 pandemic? (复旦)
3.Please introduce and evaluate one of Internet celebrities you know. (北大)
4.Introduce the Magic Bullet theory. (上交)
因此,为了应付老师们两种类型的提问,大家一定要提前做好准备,一方面要把复试过程中常见的生活化问题联系的滚瓜烂熟,另一方面也要结合目标院校老师的研究兴趣和学界前沿热点,积累一些专业的词汇和问答。
秉着谁提出谁负责的原则,接下来播播给大家分享一些关于自我介绍和一些常见问题的回答模板,大家还不速速拿起小本本?

复试英语拿捏指南
1
自我介绍篇
老实说,自我介绍的部分不建议大家使用模板,更不太建议大家去网上摘录一些非常高级的语法句式,难背不说,关键还显得特别书面化。
要知道,复试英语主打的就是一个听说能力,更看重考生运用英文正常交流,因此大家只要能够流畅地把自己的意思表达清楚就好了。
但是,我知道有些同学就是“没有模板就会手足无措”选手,因此播播这里主要跟大家呈现自我介绍可以涵盖的几个部分和一些借鉴性的表达,大家一定要结合自己的表达习惯选择适合自己的哦~切记,盲目高级不可取!
一般来说,一篇考研英语复试的自我介绍,具体包括如下几个部分:
开头问候
Good morning. I am very glad to be here for this interview.
Good morning professors,It is my great pleasure to be here.
Hello, my professors. It's a fine day today, and i'm very pleased to meet you here.
Good morning professors,It's a great honor to take this interview.
这一部分主要是讲个场面话,言简意赅即可。
个人基本信息

In addition, I have a high sense of responsibility. I will try my best to do what I should do. I can bear hardship and stand hard work. I like to interact with people and I am good at communication.
这个部分是整个自我介绍的核心部分,因此建议大家最好还是先列出基本内容,再转换成英文表达!
读研计划和未来规划
There must be many things to learn if I were enrolled into my ideal research field. I hope I can go on for further study about the knowledge of journalism and communication.my express wish is to improve my ability of News editing and evaluation. I am dreaming of the participation of some relevant internship of my major, for this reason, I will get more experience in practice. And what's more, I except to continue my study for doctorate degree. if it is possible. In a word, I am looking forward to making up a solid foundation for future profession.
这部分极大可能是老师们关注的重点内容,因此大家最起码要想清楚,拒绝大而空的场面话。
针对这一部分,老师们可能会要求你进一步介绍家乡、家人、报考本校的原因、跨专业考研的原因等问题,也有可能会发散性地提问如有什么难忘的经历、最近在读什么书等等,大家可以把雅思题库拿来做练习!

专业话题准备
专业话题的考核一般来说以抽题问答的方式进行,思考时间往往只有30秒或者1分钟,而且一般来说院校会设置一个题库,想要完美押题几乎是不可能,因此对于这部分内容,播播建议大家以捕捉关键词的方式进行复习,大家在日常练习中可以参考以下步骤:
锁定关键词
和初试专业课考试一样,英语复试抽题我们也需要一眼就找出问题的关键词,如题目中涉及沉默的螺旋的,我们首先就要想起和沉默螺旋相关的重要概念、论点、原因、影响等。
当然,在复试前的准备期间,对每个主题词进行全方面的英文准备和背诵显然有些难度,所以我们可以在熟悉主题词的概念基础上,运用专业课备考时的一些常见框架,通过一些简单的词语和表达说出来就好。
所需背诵的范围举例:
The spiral of silence(沉默的螺旋)
This theory is a political science and mass communication theory propounded by the German political scientist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann. It describes the process by which one opinion becomes dominant as those who perceive their opinion to be in the minority do not speak up because society threatens individuals with fear of isolation.
Agenda Setting Theory(议程设置)
Agenda—setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of salient issues by the news media.Two basis assumptions underlie most research on agenda—setting,one is that the press and the media do not reflect reality,but filter and shape it;the other is that media concentration on a few issues and subjects leads the public to perceive those issues as more important than other issues.Bernard Cohen(1963)stated:“The press may not be successful much 0f the time in telling people what to think,but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about”.
Cultivation Theory(涵化理论)
Developed by George Gerbner and Larry Gross at the University ot Eennsylvama.cultivation theory derived from several large—scale research projects as part of an Overall research project entitled “Cultural Indicators”. Cultivation theory states that high frequency viewers of television are more susceptible to media messages and the belief that they are real and valid.Heavy viewers are exposed to more violence and therefore are affected by the Mean World Syndrome,the belief that the world is a far worse and dangerous place than it actually is.
这里只是给大家一个参考,大家也可以结合自己的表达习惯进行修改!
注意条理性
既然是专业问题,那回答的条理性就必不可少,尤其是对于脑子晕乎乎的大家来讲,适当借鉴英语作文写作时积累的一些转折词、连接词增强前后表达的逻辑性也可以让自己的思考变得更有方向,这里播播列举了一些常用的词汇给大家:
1.表示举例的词语:for example,namely,for instance,that is (to say),such as,like
2.表示递进的词语:and,as well as,also=besides=furthermore=more over,in addition,for another
3.表示因果的词语:because,since,as,now that,therefore,thus,so,as a result of,if so,if not
4.表示转折的词语:but,still,however,while
注意结尾升华
在最后,大家可以根据这个话题,提出自己的思考,或者给出一些建议,这一部分会很加分哦,大家可以好好准备一下!
英语复试,尤其是英语的听说能力绝非一朝一夕的事情,因此建议大家从现在开始就要每天进行练习,保证自己的语感,大家可以有意识地看一些英文的电影、听一些播客等等,也可以找自己的同学或者小伙伴定时展开模拟面试......最后祝大家开工顺利,复试冲冲冲!
