关于录取复试时的口试问题！
口试去年一共分3部，总用时大概10分钟！ 
1、自己准备一个introduction!要求脱稿说大约3分钟。 
2、念一篇短文，是到试场以后临时抽题，大约有3分钟的时间提前先看一遍，难度不大！
3、抽题---回答问题。要先念一遍问题，然后回答！全程录音，有A、B、C、D、E五个分值！ 
   所要说的是:大家应该先把自己的introduction提前准备好，趁这些天没有事情可做。还有就是看一看，抽到什么问题怎么回答！下面我把我的introduction给大家写一下吧！我口试只得了B，主要是因为最后那个问题没有回答好，对于introduction，老师们应该还是比较满意的！ 
Good morning/afternoon,my dear teachers: 
   my name is CC,23 years old,I graduated from XX University in 1999.I also have an English name.My English name is Stell,that means a star.I take stell as my English name because my Chinese nickname is BeiBei which means star in Chinese. 
   I have many hobbies,I like music、chinese chess、sports、and I like English very much I improve my oral and listening ability by listen English songs and watch English movies.I passed CET6 this year.But I do think my English is not good enough,so I will do my best to study English. Thank you for your attention! 
   由于时间长了，记得也不是很清楚，错误再所难免，大家不要见怪啊！其实你如果introduction写的不多就可以念慢一点！这样就可以保证时间了，而且建议一定要自己写，这样自己说出来比较自然，关键是pronunciation!相信每一个口语老师都是最注重这一点的！另外，我抽到的题是:if you are millionaire,how to spend the money! 我考了两次口试，第一天是外语老师考的，她就是随便问，先都是最简单的东西，最后会有一个很难的问题，好象是关于时事的，让你发表自己的意见。第二天是我们所里的老师，让我用英语谈谈教育的观点！我当时口语考试是这样的，先是selfintroduction,然后抽题目演讲，我抽到的是，“交流能力对学术研究影响大吗？”，说完后，老师就随便问一些问题，主要是关于为什么报考我们学校，为什么选择这个专业，对桂林印象如何等。

（二）Self-introduction:
   Good morning, everyone! I am glad to be here for this interview. First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Qin Jiayin. I was born on April 23, 1981. I am a local person.I am graduating from Jilin Normal University this June. I major in Chinese literature. I hope I could get the opportunity to finish my postgraduate courses in Jilin University which I have desired for a long time. I have the confidence because I have such ability! I am a girl who is fervent, outgoing and creative. At the same time, I think I am quick in mind and careful in everything. I am looking forward to my postgraduate studies and life. I will soon prove that your decision of choosing me is the wisest. Thank you for giving me such a valuable opportunity!
   Reasons for taking postgraduate exams:
   First of all, I love my major. Chinese literature is the symbol of the start of Chinese literary modernization. It plays an important part in modernization of our citizens’ thoughts. What’s more, modern literature is very close to our daily life and it can deeply reflect the styles and features of our society. I am fascinated by the great masters’ refreshing or warm or profound styles as well. But I am not easily satisfied with such superficial knowledge. I hope I could have a better understanding in modern literature by studying further. This is a very important reason for me to take the postgraduate exams.
   Next, I love the feeling in the university. It is full of youthful spirit. And I am deeply attracted by the scholarly atmosphere. And the most important, it’s my great honor to open my ears to your teaching.
   Finally, I want to talk about a very practical problem. That is my dream of becoming a teacher in the university. I want to realize my dream and make myself to be a well-qualified person. I think the postgraduate studies can enrich my knowledge and make me competent in my future job.
That’s my simple and clear reasons why I took the postgraduate exams.
   My university:
   I’m graduating form Jilin Normal University this June which has a history of 50 years. It shares many same characteristics with Jilin University. Both of them have a refreshing and scholarly atmosphere. Four years’ studying there made me an independent, optimistic and strict girl. I appreciate the education my university gave me.
Thank you for your time!
（三）Good afternoon, teachers. 
     I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is abc, 25 years old. I come from Weifang, a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from Commercial College in July, 2001 and major in finance. Then, I was a teacher in abc, When I was a senior school student, I am interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism, especially I finished reading “the florilegium of Mao ZeDong”. From then on, I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works and accumulated great interests in theory study, especially in Marxism.
     I have a dream, a dream of my study. I wish devote my whole life and energy into the development of the Marxism. If I have the opportunity to study in abc University, I’ll dabble in as much as document about the specialty as possible. If it is possible, I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major, at least, a stable basis.
     Personally, for today’s China, the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. That’s to say, we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and balance development than the capitalistic, we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually. 
（四）respected  Professors:

I love my parents and they love me, too. When I make a success, they are more excited than me, and support me to do better. Even though I failed, instead of blaming, they always share sorrow with me, and encourage me not to give up.
