你的家庭(about family)

可以参考以下句式结构:
Just like my father, I am especially interested in history.
Though my father is an ordinary worker, his responsible attitude towards work has a great influence on me.
你的家乡(about Hometown)

要注意的是:一定要说明你对在原来的院校接受教育心存感激之情appreciation(从好的方面说一说),着重强调希望能被录取,表达自己坚定的决心、展望一下未来。

3结束用语
在面试快结束的时候,一般考官都会问,你有没有什么要问的。除非你是最后一个面试者,你明显感到所有的考官都急切的想离开,一般不适合说“No, I don’t have any question.”实际上,可以问考官一两个你关心的问题。如:
Which is the best course in our school? (什么课程是我们院最好的课程)
Does our school provide some guidance of job to XXX?
最后
Thank you for giving me the chance. I hope to see you again and soon. (谢谢您给我机会,我希望很快能再见到您。)
此外由于紧张,难免面试老师的话听不清楚,千万不要不好意思进行询问(当然也不能就一个问题一直问个不停),对于自己不清楚的问题一定要勇于承认,免得弄巧成拙。
如果别人的表达没有听懂想再次用自己的话表达,用什么样的话表达,因此为大家整理了一些常用话语避免尴尬。
