如何顺利通过东京大学面试关

很多日本大学在招考时都设有面试，通过面试最能体现一个人的综合素质，因此对擅长笔试的中国留学生来讲，这一关尤为重要。
　　人物档案：潘睿，2003年毕业于东北育才中学，后留学日本，在东京ABK语言学校学习半年，现就读日本东京大学工学部系统创成专业二年级。
　　很多人都会问，考取东京大学到底需要做什么样的准备？已经在该大学一年多时间的潘睿总结道：考取东京大学需要一种重要的素质就是，广博的知识面、善于思考的头脑。因为只有这样的人才能从容应对东京大学苛刻的面试。
　　向学长了解面试简况
　　参加东京大学面试前，潘睿从有经验的老师与学长那里咨询到很多面试的情况。
　　东京大学面试时的考官不一定是所报专业的老师，所以考官对专业内容也许并不比考生知道得多，考官不会和考生探讨专业内容的深度，而是要看考生对专业内容了解的广度和对专业的喜爱程度，通过考生的回答判断其是否适合学习该专业。
　　面试时，考官通常会问哪些问题是很多学生最关心的话题。潘睿说，面试一般是由一个很基本的问题开始，例如：你为什么要报考这个专业？然后考官会根据考生的回答提出下一个问题，逐渐深入。例如，如果考生回答：我将来想要从事某项职业，而此项职业需要这个专业的知识，那么考官可能就会问：你究竟需要这个专业的哪方面知识？潘睿说，回答问题时，观点很重要，但论据更重要，你要用充分而详实的论据说服考官，也证明你真正认真思考过这个问题。
　　除了和专业有关的问题，考官还会根据对话的流向，问一些和专业无关的问题来考验考生的综合素质和知识面，例如考官问潘睿的最后一个问题是：你最喜欢你们国家的哪个朝代，为什么？专业准备要注重信息量
　　因为面试问题存在很大的随机性，潘睿说，准备东京大学的面试，临阵磨枪肯定不行，需要长时间的准备和积累。
　　在语言学校时，确定自己要报考系统创成专业后，潘睿就开始了面试的准备。和专业相关的书籍和报纸是一定要看的，系统创成专业涉及经营管理、城市规划等方面内容，于是潘睿找了一些系统论和经济学入门的书来学习。报考专业教授的论文也是个很好的参考内容，这些内容可以在东京大学该专业教授研究室的网页里找到。潘睿说，这些论文可能看不懂，但至少要大概知道这些教授他们在做哪些方面的研究。
　　掌握了足够多的信息量后，就要和语言学校的老师准备模拟面试，这样才能习惯面试的氛围，语言学校的老师也可以为学生准备相关的模拟试题。潘睿在正式面试前一个月内，就和语言老师进行了至少三次模拟面试。仪态、习惯、语言细节打造形象
　　进行了充分的准备，一种自信就会油然而生。从自己的经历来看，潘睿感觉参加面试时，一个自信的态度是非常重要的，再紧张也要自信，考生要让考官感觉到，你是有备而来，你的话都是经过深思熟虑的。
　　除了自信，在严肃、认真的日本考官面前，一个好的仪态也会给考官留下很好的印象。虽然东京大学对面试时的着装并没有统一的要求，但有一种约定俗成的规矩，就是要穿深色的西服套装，西服里穿白衬衫，鞋子最好是没有装饰的深色皮鞋。潘睿特意强调，如果女生留长发，面试时就要把头发束起来，这样在向考官行礼时，头发就不会凌乱。
　　在进考场前，敲门也有一点说道，潘睿说，和中国进门前敲三声门不一样，日本的习惯是轻轻地敲两下。
　　另外，日语有三种语体，分别是普通语、礼貌语和敬语，很多中国留学生对敬语掌握还不好，但在回答考官问题时，如果敬语用不好，至少也要用礼貌语，不能用普通语。
　　最后，潘睿特别强调，刚刚出国的学生要充分利用好学长们的资源，由于日本各大学是自主招生，每个大学的提交资料，考试方法与重视的方面都有所不同，通过学长亲身经历和经验的介绍，可以更精确地把握备考方向，让你无论是选择专业还是考试都少走很多弯路。如果你不认识任何人，可以到大学里的留学生科找资料，也可以通过语言学校老师介绍结识一些留学生。

回复：如何顺利通过东京大学面试关

越来越多的名校，例如：Indiana University, Bloomington, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Northwestern, Washington University都会根据不同系别，而要求在台面试。如果学校要求需要面试，那么请你打开月历，拿起电话向当地联络人要求预约面谈时间。面谈的重点是表现出自己无法经由纸张书面所看得出来的热心、兴趣、特别才能、口才、表达沟通能力、想像力、创造力及组织判断力等，面试将使你整个的书面申请工作上，更具个性包装，增加审核委员对你个人的印象，列举以下面试常问的问题供面试学生参考。

　　面试回答应尽量详细、具体，不要抽象化或简单应付
　　(一) 问答实例

　　◆ 问：How is this past year been for you?

　　Ex1. It''''s gone fairly well academically. I like the courses a lot. I''''m doing well, and I''''ve had a good time with them.

　　Ex2. Well, I''''d have to say this has been my most successful year this far. I am especially looking forward to my senior year because I was selected editor-in-chief of our school newspaper, and my writing this year has got me a column in our school newspaper, so I guess this year has been successful.

　　◆ 问：Tell me a little about yourself?

　　I am interested in this university because of your sports program and because of the English opportunities.

　　◆ 问：I take it that you participate in sports at school?

　　Yes.

　　◆ 问：Which one?

　　Track.

　　◆ 问：At what level do you participate?

　　At the Varsity level.

　　◆ 问：And you say you''''re interested in the English program - can you tell me about your interest in English?

　　Ex1. Well, I''''ve always enjoyed reading and writing, and I''''ve heard that this school has a good writing program.

　　Yes, it''''s known for its writing program. Are you interested in creative writing or expository writing?

　　No, I haven''''t.

　　Have you brought any samples of your work with you?

　　No, I haven''''t.

　　Ex 2. I''''m especially interested in your English Department. I''''ve always enjoyed reading and writing, and I''''ve heard that you have a good writing program. I''''ve brought a few samples of my writing in case you''''d like to see them.

　　◆ 问：Give me three adjectives to describe yourself?

　　I feel that I''''m a dynamic person and a very enthusiastic person. I also tend to be more introverted that extroverted.

　　◆ 问：Sounds like a bit of a contradiction. Can you explain this?

　　Well, I''''ll try. I tend to keep my feelings inside of me and I don''''t like telling other people what I''''m thinking and feeling. On the other hand, if someone confronts me, then I will definitely tell them.

　　◆ 问：Can you tell me about a book you''''ve read?

　　Yes, a book called The Matarese, a book about espionage by Robert Ludlum. It gave me an idea of the underlife of our government. I don''''t know how much was true or how was fiction, but it had an impact on me.

　　◆ 问：Regardless, it made you think about some of the issues of government, right? Can you tell me about some of those issues?

　　The secrecy behind a government that seems to be open. And things you couldn''''t think about, like in the news, small items, such as wars, that just sort of fade out of the way, because of the government doesn''''t want you to know about them.

　　◆问：Has this book made you more sensitive to the news?

　　I find I take a greater interest in the daily lives of other people and other nations.

　　◆问：Is there anything that''''s happened recently that you''''ve picked up and has caught your interest, wondered about that you might not have otherwise?

　　Yes, the war in the Falkland Island, and uprisings in South America.

　　◆问：Any particular aspect of it - a new story you caught, a detail or a fact that may have passed unnoticed - that you caught this time?

　　Yes, the use of propaganda by the two governments, Argentina and Great Britain. Each has a different story for the same event, such as the sinking of a British ship. The Argentines said they had sunk it, and the British wouldn''''t admit it until a couple of days later.

　　◆问：Tell me, in your opinion what is the most serious problem facing the world today?

　　I''''d probably say the most serious problem facing the world today has got to be the nuclear arms race.

　　◆问：What would you do about it to lessen the threat?

　　It''''s obvious that we can''''t go on like this. The money could be used in much better ways, and the only thing we could probably do is to get know, another SALT III or something to that effect, to try to contain the building of new nuclear arms.

　　◆问：I see by your transcript that you''''ve done very well in most of your courses. Science seems to be an area in which you don''''t do as well. Can you tell me why?

　　I''''m really into science. I like the subject and I like the idea of messing around in the labs, seeing what blows up, what isn''''t - I just don''''t seems to be able to grasp the material as quickly as some others in the honors class. I''''ve put in a lot of work and I''''m not getting the results I''''d like to although I really like the subject. If I were in an average level course, I''''d probably do a lot better.

　　◆问：How did you a C student in science, get placed in an honors level course?

　　Well, last year I had a B in biology, and they automatically moved everybody with B or better into honors chemistry. I though I could do equally well, but biology and chemistry are different.

　　◆问：But you haven''''t dropped your chemistry, even though you''''re not doing well in it?

　　No, I like the course, and even though my test scores say otherwise, I know I''''m getting a lot out of it.

　　(二) 面试者亦可主动发问，下列仅供参考，另可自行发挥。

　　1. How difficult is it for a(n) (English/Biology) major to register for courses in (computer science/studio art)?

　　2. What are the particular strengths of this college?

　　3. I am interested in _________. What are my chances of participating here?

　　4. Am I eligible, or appropriate, candidate for admission?

　　5. How would you describe the social life in __________ (Name of school)?

　　6. What is the work load like?

　　7. Is there a typical student here? If so, how would you describe him or her?

　　8. Does this school strike you as having a particular personality or atmosphere?

　　(三) 面试原则

　　1. 切记：微笑，等面试者伸出手才握手，牢记面试者的姓名，并在谈话中不忘使用。热心回答，且诚恳，表明面谈的愉快心得，不忘面试後投寄一封感谢卡。

　　2. 切勿：迟到，抽烟，吃口香糖，未请坐即先行坐下，勿因等待而表示不耐烦。

　　(四) 面试重点

　　1.可顺带提及自己喜爱的科目、活动、嗜好、旅行、工作或特殊荣誉。

　　2.面试前先看一下自己的读书计划，心中准备好可能会被问及的特别书籍、课程、意见、社会新闻、国家大事亦要关心、学校简介要先阅读一次。

　　3.不要防御性太强，谈及成绩不好的科目，坦承且表示如何将该进货解释你的学习价值。

　　6.不要摇腿，咬指甲或玩附近的装饰品，甚至自己的头发。
