英语面试真题解析之教育背景（2）  

  Other than the courses you studied, what is the most important thing you learned from your college experience?除了学习方面，你在大学里面最大的收获是什么？

问题分析：外国面试官的思维往往非常直接，他坚持认为，只有在大学里面有巨大收获的人，才能在工作岗位上取得巨大收获。所以说，千万不要天真地说：我在大学里学会了自理，学会了安排自己的生活！晕，这是baby的成就，绝对不能拿到大学里面来说了!

回答示范1：Well, I think the most important thing I have learnt in university is how to set appropriate goals and see them through. You know it is so easy for university students to waste time if they don’t set goals, so I set demanding goals to motivate myself. One is that I decided to get scholarships each year, the other one is that I decided to be the leader of a club on campus. Neither was easy, but in more than three years, I managed to achieve both. (点评：面试官一定会追问你是怎么实现两个目标的。) Getting scholarship wasn’t quite difficult for me. Running for Presidency of a club, however, was more difficult than I expected as there was so much petition. To achieve the goal I changed my strategy. I transferred from the Student Union to a newly-founded union. And within 6 months, I acquired more than 20 members and anized a few eye-catching activities. As a result, I became the leader of that club. I think I『ve learnt not only to set a demanding goal, but also how to overe all the difficulties to achieve it.

点评1：这是一个很漂亮的回答，体现了自己的优点：既能够给自己设立比较高的目标，也擅长克服困难，实现自己的目标。面试官最喜欢的人选，就是这种“目标导向型”的申请人。

回答示范2：My biggest achievement in my college life, I think, is that I have learnt to make choices. You know, there are various activities and part time jobs on campus, each sounds attractive. I’ve carefully chosen some of them which can help to achieve my long term career goal. I have said no to lots of invitations, like the dancing contests each year. I only participated in one of them and decided that rehearsals occupy too much time. In my opinion, nothing is more important than making the right choice.

点评2：这个回答符合我们一贯强调的“个性化”和“夸赞自己”两个原则。

How did you finance your college education?你大学的费用是怎么样支付的？(家里供还是自己打工？)

问题分析：很显然，和中国面试官相比，老外更加青睐在大学就有赚钱能力的候选人，并坚持认为他们的独立性和能力比完全依赖父母的候选人要强得多。

回答示范：So far, my tuition and living expense are around 40,000 RMB. My parents offer o thirds of it and I pay the rest of it. I have been granted scholarship three times, making 5,000 RMB in total. Teaching and other part-time jobs made another 5,000.

点评：很真实的回答，同时也体现了自己的学习成绩好和社团活动很积极的优点。
