考研黨福利：復(fù)試在即，這些小tips，幫你提高面試表現(xiàn)

考研筆試成績陸續(xù)公布，對于一些同學(xué)而言，伴隨著初試通過的欣喜一同而來的，還有面對復(fù)試的忐忑。在大多高校的研究生復(fù)試中都有面試這一環(huán)節(jié)。今天FT每日英語與大家分享一些面試中需要注意的細節(jié)和克服面試緊張感的小Tips，供大家參考

高校面試和其他類型的面試（如求職面試）既有相似之處，也有不同之處。

在高校申請面試前應(yīng)該如何準(zhǔn)備？教育領(lǐng)域網(wǎng)站W(wǎng)hich?University總結(jié)了以下幾點：

Revisit the university prospectus and course details, thinking about how you'd answer questions such as ‘why this course?' and ‘why this university?'.

再次翻閱你申請學(xué)校的入學(xué)簡介和課程內(nèi)容，想一想你會如何回答譬如“為什么選這門課程？”、“為什么選這所高校？”等問題。

Re-familiarise yourself with your personal statement and be prepared to elaborate on anything you've said.

再次熟悉你的個人簡介，對于其中任何你說過的內(nèi)容都要做好詳細闡述的準(zhǔn)備。

Get someone （who hopefully knows a bit about your subject） to give you a mock interview.Having some interview practice beforehand will help to boost your confidence and expose areas you need to work on.

找一個人——Ta最好懂一點你的學(xué)科——來幫你進行一場模擬面試。在事先練習(xí)面試可以幫助你增進自信、找到你需要改進的點。

Make sure you're aware of the latest issues in current affairs relevant to your subject – tutors may bring these into the discussion.

確認你自己了解所從事學(xué)科的最前沿領(lǐng)域新聞——你的面試導(dǎo)師或許會把這些話題帶入到你們的交談中。

Prepare some questions to ask tutors – just make sure that they haven't already been answered in information you've been sent by the university.

準(zhǔn)備一些需要問導(dǎo)師的問題，同時要確認這些問題沒有被學(xué)校發(fā)給你的信息中囊括。

在面試過程里，如果能夠注意到以下幾點，或許能夠加分：

It's not just what you say that's important – body language is key to the impression you'll make.Sit up straight, make eye contact and look （and sound!） interested.It's important to engage with the interviewer right from the start.

重要的不只是你的言語——肢體語言同樣是你留給他人印象的關(guān)鍵所在。你要坐姿挺立，進行眼神交流，表現(xiàn)出（同時聽起來表現(xiàn)出）興趣。和面試官在一開始就建立起良好的交流是非常重要的。

Let your interviewer take the lead when it comes to handshakes, sitting down, starting to talk, and so on.

握手、就座、開始談話這類事情，等你的面試官優(yōu)先行動。

Listen carefully to the question and don't be afraid to take some time to think about your answer or ask them to repeat it – you won't be penalised!

面對問題，仔細傾聽，不要擔(dān)心花些時間思考答案，或者請面試官們重復(fù)一遍問題——你不會因此而減分的。

Remember, an interview is a two-way process.Make the most of it by finding out as much as you can about the course （including teaching methods） and getting a feel for whether the course and the university are right for you.

記住，面試是一個雙向選擇的過程。為了實現(xiàn)這一點，你需要盡可能多地找到有關(guān)你申請的學(xué)科（包括教學(xué)方法）的信息，了解一下自己是否適合該學(xué)科、該學(xué)校。

在面試里，“緊張”通常是影響面試者正常發(fā)揮的最大攔路虎。

平時嗓音清澈，面試官前秒變綿羊音？精心挑選了一身得體套裝，卻控制不住自己成為“抖腿星人”，氣質(zhì)全無？

英國《衛(wèi)報》帶來了10個出奇制勝的小偏方，幫你克服面試恐懼感。

Cheeky tips:10 weird ways to beat interview nerves

奇葩小tips：10個偏方治愈面試緊張癥患者

① Don't speak too fast

Nerves tend to make us speed up, so while you're waiting for your interview, breathe in through your nose very slowly for a count of three.Then breathe out through your nose for a count of three.Repeat this three times.That should take you a total of 18 seconds.In that time you will have significantly lowered your heart rate and when you speak, you'll find you won't rush.

減緩語速：緊張常常讓我們語速加快，因此當(dāng)你在面試候場時，用鼻子慢慢吸氣，數(shù)三下；然后再從鼻子呼出，數(shù)三下。重復(fù)以上步驟三次，總共耗時18秒。這樣，你的心率將會明顯降低，在說話的時候你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不會語速過快了。

② Stop yourself shaking

Simply squeeze your buttocks or your thigh muscles.It's almost physically impossible to have shaky hands if your buttocks or your thigh muscles are clenched.This technique will help you feel and appear more confident – and most clothes will completely mask your actions.

停止抖動：這僅僅需要你收緊臀部肌肉，或者大腿肌肉即可。生理上來說，你幾乎不可能在收縮臀部或者大腿肌肉的時候，手還在顫抖。這個技巧會幫助你感覺并表現(xiàn)得更自信——同時大部分衣服將會完美地把你的這些小動作掩蓋過去。

③ Stop your voice shaking

Open your throat by sticking your tongue out as far as it will go, and try to say the whole of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme out loud.This will open the back of the throat and you'll sound more confident and have more authority.Of course, you should do this before the interview – not in front of the panel.

拯救“綿羊音”：把你的舌頭盡量遠地伸出去，打開你的喉嚨，嘗試大聲念一遍完整的Humpty Dumpty兒歌。這會打開喉嚨深部，你的聲音聽起來會更自信、更有說服力。當(dāng)然，以上步驟應(yīng)該是在面試前進行，可別在面試小組前做這些事。

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

矮胖子，坐墻頭，

栽了一個大跟斗。

國王呀，齊兵馬，

破鏡難圓沒辦法。

④ Stand up while you wait

You will often be shown into a boardroom before an interview and offered a seat while you wait.Don't take it.You don't want their first impression of you to be struggling up out of a chair, so stay standing.You'll look more confident if you are on their level as you first meet them.

站立候場：在面試開始前，通常你會被引入一間會議室，里面有座位可供等候時使用。別坐下去。你可不想他們（面試官）對你的第一眼印象是你掙扎著從座椅里站起來。所以，保持站立。第一次見面時，如果你和他們是在同一高度，那你看上去會更加自信。

⑤ Find your best sitting position

Firstly, never trust the back of a chair.I recommend leaning slightly forward on your chair.You'll look and feel more dynamic if you sit in this position.

找到自己的最佳坐姿：首先，千萬別倚在座椅靠背上。我推薦坐在椅子上時輕輕向前傾。這個姿勢會讓你看起來更有活力。

其它的小竅門還包括：

Show your hands

把手拿出來

事實已經(jīng)證明，如果把雙手拿到桌面上來讓人看見，那我們就有更大的機會獲得面試成功。把手讓人看見是一種誠實的信號。

Make the other person feel special

讓別人覺得你很特別

不要夸大其詞——這樣的人太多了。記得問問題，并對面試官給出的答案表現(xiàn)出濃厚的興趣。

Listen

傾聽

在被緊張情緒籠罩時，人們常會聽錯問題，從而給出錯誤的回答。因此要格外注意：聽清楚面試官的話。

Use your own voice

用你自己的聲音

不要打開“演講模式”，用你自己的聲音回答問題。

Be yourself

做自己

當(dāng)我們做回自己最真實的狀態(tài)時，自信、輕松才能回歸到我們身旁。在面試會話里，嘗試盡量使用自己平日里使用的詞吧。
