要学会听懂考官问题
英语中的问题一般分为两种形式：close-ended questions 和 open-ended questions
前者只需要用一、两个词作答，而后者则需要进一步的解释和说明。一般来说面试当中，为了避免谈话陷入沉闷单调的气氛当中，考官一般是要将这两种问题有机地结合起来。考生要准确把握对方所问问题的性质，给予其想要的回答，从而避免了对于只需要简短回答的问题啰嗦个没完，对于需要进一步阐释的问题却回答得不够。两种情况都会给考官留下不好的印象。
一般来说两种问题的引导词有比较明显的不同，请大家注意掌握：
Close-ended Open-ended Both
Are…?
Do…?
Who…?
When…?
Where…?
Which…? How…?
Why…?
In what way…?
Tell me about… What…?
【注意】
对于open-ended questions,在组织答案时，最好先用一句话或者一个短语将你要说的主要意思总结一下，这样不仅可以再拖延一点时间，而且也有助于对方听清楚你的答案，从而会比较容易留下思路清晰的好印象。
e.g. Interviewer: Why do you want to study for MBA?
Candidate: That’s a rather difficult question. There are two main reasons, I suppose.
如果考官对你的回答不甚满意，你也许会听到这样的问题：
I’d like to know some more about…
Could you tell me a bit more bout…?
Sorry to press you, but could you tell me…?
Sorry, I don’t quite understand, could you tell me …?
I didn’t quite follow what you said about…
Meaning?
For example?
Then you?
Therefore?
Which means?
So then?
例如：
A: How did you happen to move here?
B: I like the climate better.
A: Better than…
B: Better than the polluted air of the city.
A: Which means…
B: Which means I can expect better overall health for myself.
没听懂对方在说什么怎么办？
千万不要往过蒙！！！
你可以：
承认自己不知道答案：
e.g. I’ sorry. I don’t understand.
Sorry. I don’t follow.
或者：
请对方重复问题：
e.g. I didn’t catch that. Would you mind repeating it?
Could you repeat the question, please?
再或者：
请对方为你澄清你没有听清楚的个别词：
e.g. Sorry. I don’t know what you mean by ‘Union Jack’
Would you mind explaining ‘Union Jack’? |
