What can you tell me about yourself?

　　這個問題并不是要你介紹你的簡歷，老師是希望你能通過一件小事，了解你的處理方式，從而看出你的性格、優(yōu)勢，與哪位老師比較匹配等。

　　The following is a good example of a positive response. "In high school I was involved in competitive sports and I always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could sell things easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best."

　　What is your greatest strength

　　這個問題是想要了解你對你的專業(yè)、對你的學校，包括對以后的研究生生活的自信程度，讓他們看到你作為研究生的優(yōu)勢。

　　I feel that my strongest asset is my ability to stick to things to get them done. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as I'd planned. I've set some high goals for myself. For example, I want to graduate with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year, I made up for it by doing an honor's thesis.

　　What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?

　　畢業(yè)五年之后的規(guī)劃，這個問題你可以通過與學長學姐聊天或者同其他已經(jīng)畢業(yè)的學生交流看看他們的做法，結合自身的優(yōu)勢，給出你的回答。

　　I hope to do my best I can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, I am planning on that also.

　　Why do you choose this major?

　　為什么選擇報考專業(yè)?這個問題是老師比較喜歡的一個問題。需要你表達自己對專業(yè)的喜歡，現(xiàn)在開始可以多查看相關的專業(yè)文章，對專業(yè)術語了解清楚，在復試中會有加分的機會。

　　I major in International Trade and have great interest in it. International trade currently become increasingly important in the world of globalization, and those companies desirous to file themselves into the international market and have to confront plenty of issues. Thus, corresponding emphasis have been put on these issues in this field. But during my college study and internship period, I have found I have many to study, so it is very necessary and urgent for me to grasp firmly and comprehensively the relevant knowledge of international trade. That is why I chose this major. Now I look forward to enriching my scope in this field in our university.

　　Why do you change your major?

　　為什么跨專業(yè)?這是跨專業(yè)考研同學幾乎必背的一個問題，多說報考專業(yè)的未來發(fā)展，少說原專業(yè)不合適。

　　I show keen interest in the (報考專業(yè)) studies, 報考方向 in particular, even though my major is 原專業(yè). You might ask me why, well, let’s tell you like this. 原專業(yè) are too abstract, full of terms, far away from the real world. I don’t mean that 原專業(yè) is useless. But 報考專業(yè) studies seem more challenging, and promising for my future career. My plan is like this: start my work in a 相關行業(yè) firm and work as a 專業(yè)人士 so that I can try my best to help the clients, who they’re and where they’re from, whether they’re rich or poor. That’s why I made up my mind to change my major and applied for this law school.
