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！

The sample of introduction:

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!

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如何等。
