19、力原文 How to Prepare for a Scholarship Interview?Good morning, everyone. Today, we are going to talk about one very important topic: how to prepare for a scholarship interview. What“s an interview about? Well, being invited to one means your application documents are all right and that you made it ove
20、r the first part of the application process. It also usually means that you“re in a “now or never“ kind of situation. Hard but true, screw the interview and you“re out, no matter how fine your application is. This is why you definitely should prepare before the interview. And I am going to approach
21、the topic in three aspects. First of all, before the interview. Preparation before an interview is a must. Before stepping into the interview room, you should document in detail about the program you are applying to, the kind of question you expect to be asked, how long the interview will last, etc.
22、 First, try to read as much as possible about the scholarship program you have applied to. Look at what subjects you“ll study, how many they will be, how much freedom you have in choosing the subjects, how your work will be assessed, professors, the size of the department, student-faculty ratio, acc
23、ommodation, extracurricular activities. In short, try to get an as exact as possible image about what you“ll do ff you get the scholarship. Write down whatever is of interest to you, what is not clear, or what you“d like to find out more about. During the actual interview, there“s almost always a ti
24、me when it“s your turn to ask questions and you“ll want to have some useful questions to ask. Second, re-read the announcement. Examine the requirements, think of reasons and examples that prove you can meet those requirements. Very probably, you“ll be asked questious about that during the interview
25、. Attention: don“t exaggerate, you“ll seem overqualified, and don“t lie, it may sound paranoid, but you never know how “they“ will be able to double check what you say. Look at the scholarship description: what recommends you for that thing? That“s another probable question. In some interviews, the
26、question will be even more direct: why are you the best for that place? You“d better have some answer here. And be convinced that you are the best: it will show during the interview, and help in- crease your chances. Third, try to find out how long the interview will last, who“s gonna be your interv
27、iewer, even, if possible, what topics are of most interest to him/her and will show up during the discussion. Of course, that is easier to do if you get the invitation by phone, but there“s always a second option: do some digging in their website, some useful material may show up, or get in contact
28、with persons who have been through the interview before you. Secondly, during the interview. On the day of the interview, bring with you a copy of all your application documents, and an updated CV. The interviewer will very probably not accept new documents and have its own copy of those files, but
29、you never know when an extra copy is needed during the discussion. Besides, you“d better dress formally. Even if you“re one of those lucky programmers about whom nobody really cares how they dress when go to work, still wear a suit during the interview, or at least matching trousers and blazer, and
30、of course, a shirt and a tie. Have your morn or roommate check they go fine with each other. The discussion will usually start with some informal chitchat, meant to warm the atmosphere and to make you look less stressed. Smile when you enter and while saluting. Enter the game of chit-chat, while rem
31、aining polite and relaxed. The serious questions will start arriving soon. Towards the end of the interview, you will probably be asked if you have any questions of yourself. Remember, you have those prepared already. At the very end, as the last question you have, ask for feedback on your performan
32、ce. Not only because it looks good in the eyes of the interviewer, but also because you wanna know what you did fine and what not, and what could you do better next time. Here“s some other dos and don“ts during an interview: 1. Try not to dominate the discussion by speaking too much or too loud. Let
33、 the interviewer have the initiative when taUdng takes enough time to make your points clear. Also pay attention in order to avoid a dominant body-language. 2. Don“t criticize friends, competitors for the same thing, current university, etc. The reason you should get what you“re after is because you
34、 are very good at it and not because the others are bad. Criticism will decrease your credibility: what will keep you from criticizing the same position you are now after? 3. Don“t bring financial aspects into discussion yourself. In the case of scholarships, the sums are fixed and clearly stated fr
35、om the beginning, there“s nothing to negotiate. 4. Unless there“s a scholarship for minorities or disabled persons, don“t bring personal aspects into discussion. The interviewer cares less about where you sleep, and more about what you know and can do. Thirdly, after the interview. If you have the e
36、-mail or mail contact of the interviewer, write a “thank you“ note. That“s a good occasion to: 1. thank the interviewer for his/her time and the interesting discussion you had. 2. make him/her remember you“re better than the other people he/she met that day. 3. remember the most important elements t
37、hat make your application so valuable. You should do that on the day of the interview, and in not more than 3-4 paragraphs. OK. I think I have covered the three stages of going through an interview. Actually, the interview would not be such a stressful event, should you have the occasion to go throu
38、gh, say, 200 of them. Since this is not the case, intensive preparation will have to do. So do it carefully, it might be this interview that will get your future started. 解析 本题考查奖学金面试前需要准备的内容。讲座提到，面试前要阅读奖学金项目的有关信息。其中包括将要学习的学科，有多少学科；选择这些学科有多少自由；怎样评价(assess)你的工作等等。题目要求填写的是名词形式，因此这里应填入 Assessment。 填空项
39、1:_ （正确答案：Student-faculty ratio）解析： Student-faculty ratio解析 讲座提到要阅读奖学金项目的有关信息，并列举了一些相应的信息。题目所缺的信息是师生比，即 student-faculty ratio。表并列之处是做笔记的重点。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：prove your qualifications）解析： prove your qualifications解析 讲座提到面试前准备的第二点重新阅读公告。仔细查看上面所提的要求，想想能证明你能满足这些要求的理由和例子。因此这里可以将原文的 meet those requirements 概
40、括为 qualifications。本题填入 prove your qualifications。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：lie）解析： lie解析 本题询问在准备面试提问的时候不要做什么。讲座提到，不能夸大其词，也不能撒谎。这里填 lie。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Confidence）解析： Confidence解析 本题考查考生概括信息的能力。题目问的是什么可以提升面试的机会。讲座提到，要相信自己是最好的，这样在面试中就会显示出来，从而提升面试成功的机会。可推测，“相信自己是最好的”其实就是“对自己有自信”。这里填 confidence。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：the i
41、nterviewers）解析： the interviewers解析 讲座提到，面试前需注意的第三点内容是要尝试了解面试要进行多长时间，谁会成为你的面试官等等。本题需填入需要了解的第二项内容，因此答案为 the interviewers。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：useful material）解析： useful material解析 本题询问我们可以在网站上找到什么。讲座提到，我们在面试之前要在他们的网站上做一些查询和信息挖掘的工作，从而发现有用的材料。因此，这里填的是 useful material。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：updated CV/updated resume）解
42、析： updated CV/updated resume解析 此处考查面试过程中的一些细节。讲座提到，我们要把所有申请材料带过去，还要带一份最新的简历。这里填 updated CV 或 updated resume。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Smile）解析： Smile解析 讲座提到，我们进门和打招呼的时候要面带微笑。故填 Smile。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：feedback）解析： feedback解析 本题询问面试快结束时我们要问什么问题。讲座提到，我们应该请对方反馈一下自己在面试中表现得怎样。因此，这里填 feedback。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：dominate）解析
43、： dominate解析 本题考查面试时该做什么和不该做什么。第一点就是不要尝试通过讲很多话或讲很大声去主导整个讨论。本题要填入词语是 dominate。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：credible）解析： credible解析 在谈到 dos and don“t 时，讲座提到，批评会降低你的可信度。根据空格前的less 可判断，空格处应填形容词，故把 credibility 转换成形容词 credible。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：financial aspects）解析： financial aspects解析 本题询问我们不要把什么带到面试过程中。讲座提到，我们不应该把个人财务状况
44、带到面试过程中。因此，这里填的是 financial aspects。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：personal aspects）解析： personal aspects解析 讲座提到，除非是为少数民族群体或者是为残疾人设置的奖学金，面试的讨论过程中都不要谈论自己的个人情况。因此本题填入 personal aspects。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：4/four）解析： 4/four解析 本题考查的是我们在面试后写的“感谢信”最多多少段。讲座的表达方式是：我们的感谢信不要超过 34 段，言下之意最多 4 段就足够了。因此，这里填 4 或 four。 Ten Bad Listening H
