不要只是简单的回答Yes/No,或者用一句话简单回答,而是要对自己的答案进行解释和拓展。比如当问到:What are your hobbies?(爱好),我们对比以下2个答案,你们觉得考官会更加喜欢哪个答案呢?
考生A: I love playing the piano because it is interesting.
考生B:I love playing the piano. I have been learning it since I was 7. And I spend almost all my spare time practicing it. You know, every time I play the piano, it is like time flies. And I have taken part in several
答题的时候避免模板化的答案,要多展示自己的个性。以个人介绍为例,一些孩子会这样自我介绍:
考官:Please introduce yourself in English.
考生A:My name is xxx. There are three people in my family, my Dad, my Mom and me. And I am outgoing. And I have lots of hobbies, like playing basketball, listening to music and so on.
这样的自我介绍空洞而且没有任何新意,并不能够真正让考官了解孩子的个性。那么如何改善呢?我们可以挑选自己身上最闪光的1个点,具体地展开。比如说觉得自己是一个适应能力很强的人,那我们就可以这样自我介绍:
考生B:Hi, I am A. I am a grade 7 student from ABC school.I am very happy to attend this interview.I would say I am an adaptable person. It doesn’t take me long to fit in a new environment. Like last summer, I went to summer camp in the US. On the first day, I was a little bit worried because it was my first time to travel abroad. But a few days later, I adapted well to the new environment and made lots of new friends there.
