2015年考研复试前如何准备英语听力和口语
1、听说能力涉及专业问题
英语的复试基本围绕听力和口语展开。研究生复试的英语部分一般是由学校的公共英语或研究生公共英语教研室来考核。良好的英语听说能力是复试成功的保证。复试中对英语的听说能力考查比较多,有时候也会涉及一些专业性的问题。导师也大都比较在意自己弟子的英语水平。自我感觉上线的考生要开始温习自己的英语听力和口语了。
2、听力准备要提前预热
据了解,英语听力部分,大多数学校都以现有的成型考试为参考。考生在准备听力复试的过程中,对于现有的成熟英语考试的听力部分一定要重视,比如六级听力、托福听力和雅思听力应该是复习的重点。在复习时可以有针对性地做一些六级、托福或雅思听力的试题。如果觉得做题太枯燥,收听一下英语新闻,看看迪斯尼的动画片,也是培养语感的好方法。另外,听英语广播和看英语电影也是提高英语听力口语的好方法,在参加复试前这段有限的时间里要尽快熟悉与考试相近的内容。考生大都考过六级听力,并不陌生,而托福听力又是四六级听力命题的基础,熟悉了四六级和托福听力;英语复试问题就不算太大。总之,在这段宝贵的时间里,要赶快做点预热的准备,主要是做点听力题,找找做题的节奏和感觉。
3、口语测试准备好话题
对口语的考查,各个学校各不相同。有的学校制定了非常详细的标准和流程,甚至规定了每个老师发问的方式和时间;有的只是面试老师的自由发挥,成绩也基本上由面试老师主观判定。不管面试是否严格控制,徐老师都要提醒考生们对认真准备下面几个问题:一是自我介绍,如自己来自什么地方,毕业学校,所学专业,业余喜好,家庭基本情况等信息。二是做好用英语讲解自己专业的准备。口语测试时老师有可能要求你就本专业展开话题,考查你用英语讲解陌生概念的能力。因此考生对此要有所准备,先用笔头组织这些问题的要点,然后再以这些词组织语言。在阅读专业文献时,也要多积累一些专业方面的英语词汇。当然提问的问题不可能难度太高,比如What is business management?In your opinion, what is the most important element in business management等一些简单的提问。
考研复试临近,很多同学发信息咨询,我把英语听说部分最可能考到的问题总结一下,大家根据自己的情况提前准备好,同时做到举一反三。机会是给有准备的人的!
