I am wo rking for IBM as an administrative staff. I’ve been doing this job formany years and I still like doing it.2. Tell me something about the school or university you attend.Sure. I’m always excited to talk about my university, Tsinghua University.Establ ished in the early 1900’s by the Qing Dynasty, it has now become one ofthe top ranking universities in China and well-renowned in the world. Located inthe northwest of Beijing in Qinghuayuan ,once a royal garden, it enjoys amarvelous natural environment. The campus is really big. It is home to morethan ten thousand undergraduate and graduate students. In terms of learningand research, Tsinghua university provides the most qualified faculty anywherein China, and the best library and research facilities. The last thing I would liketo mention of Tsinghua is that it has a long tradition of sending students to studyoverseas. Not only that it was first established as a preparatory school forstudents to study in the US, but it also sends over a thousand students eachyear to study abroad, US, Australia and other countries. Thank you.可以谈大学的地理位置,历史,教学和学术成就,校园外貌以及其他的任何方面都可以谈。
抓住什么就谈什么,注意连贯性的掌握。
Well, of course. I study in XXX University. It is one of the largest and bestuniversities in central China. It has a very big and nice campus. Though theuniversity has been established for a long time, many of its old buildings arenow replaced by new and modern ones. With lawns and trees everywhere, theenvironment of the campus is really good, making it a good college experiencefor everyone who studies here.Tell me something about your primary school.The name of the school is XXX Primary School. It is not far from where I whereI used to live. It is a rather small one with only two buildings, the main teachingbuilding and an office building. There is also a playground behind the buildingswith several gym bars and a sand pit. I guess that’s all I can remember now.Thanks.Well, I don’t remember much but just a few things about my primary school.First it is rather a small one with a size of 20 students in each class. And therewere only three classes on each grade at that time. Then the playground behindthe main building is also very small. I faintly remember that there were a fewthings students could play with: a swing, a sand dune, and a few other things.I used to stay at school to play there until my parents come to take me home.That is pretty much of what I remember.Sure. It is one of the best primary schools in my hometown. To get into thisschool, one must meet certain qualifications and pass an entry test. But it iscertainly worth fighting for to get into this school, because the teachers thereare very experienced and patient, and almost every graduate from this schoolcan get into the top schools at higher levels.没有必要面面俱到,重点是谈“something”,而不是“everything”。
所以抓住感兴趣的或者印象深刻的一方面展开论述就可以了。

首先考生必须明确自己专业的准确英文翻译。
如果考生不知道自己专业的准确英文翻译,可以讲一个较大的领域,比如“小麦植株培育”可以说是、“industrial farming”,或者可以讲自己在某一个系别,现在还没有分专业。
“botany”4. Do you like your major and why?Yes, of course. I like my major primarily because I am very much into computerscience. Since young I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of future technology, robots and super-computers. Secondly, IT is a huge market withwide profit margins. It has created a new generation of billionaires. It ispromising major that is bound to bring me a good career in the future. That isprecisely why I like my major.Not really. Actually I didn’t choose this major for myself. My parents chose it for me. In addition, I find all the subjects I have to study for this major very boring.I don’t think I can learn much from them.,要有充分的理由,展现出自己理性的一面Notes:如果喜欢,不要简单的说“I just like it”和逻辑的思维表达。
比较常见的理由有三:1、有兴趣2、相对容易学习和毕业3、有较好的职业前景5. What courses/subjects do you study?There is a wide range of courses I study. Some are compulsory while others are optional. The two major compulsory courses are College English, includingintensive reading, extensive reading, speaking etc., and College Math, includingcalculus, probability and statistics and so on. In addition, I also have chosen tostudy Art History and Psychology, which can all enrich my understanding ofhuman mind itself and the great works of human mind.Notes: 高中考生可以按照自己文理科分科回答,大学的课程很多,可以大致将有选修和必修,然后简单提及一两个课程即可。
