前几天在网上看到发调档函的名单了,里面有我的名字,这个时候已经谈不上什么高兴了,相反却有些淡淡的伤感,因为等待的时间远远超出了我的想象,这可能也是对我的一次磨练吧。
初试过后,说实在的,心里有些忐忑不安的,当然这不是不相信自己的实力,但是毕竟总有一些不确定的因素困扰着我,自己预计能打320左右,但是分数一天不下来,就像有什么事没有做完似的,等待的日子是漫长的,无目的的,2004年3月10日,分数出来了,只听见电话那头说道,考生姓名:XX,请记录:政治:57;英语:57;专业课1:110;专业课2:131,总分355分,前面的疑问没有了,新的疑问又产生了:我当时以为总分肯定不是问题,如果有问题,那一定政治少了点,因为我身边的同学政治考试都是70分左右,很少有不过60分的,去年的英语,政治分数线是51,我想今年的分数线应该不会超过55吧。
准备复试:
伴随新的疑问,我开始了复试的准备,不能打无准备之仗,事先准备,这样也好有备无患。在复试过程中我从以下两个方面入手:
英语:
我们的复试方式早就公布出来了,既有英语口试,又有英语笔试,笔试的形式是翻译,初试中的英语我答得很一般,所以我重点准备了口试,以下是我为英语口试准备的全部内容,希望对大家有所帮助。
Good morning, teachers, I am honored to be informed to have this interview. Introduce yourself First let me introduce myself, my name is XX, 23 years old, and David is my English name. I am open-minded, easy to adapt, compatible with my friends, and willing to help others. Introduce your college I studied in XX University. Although it is not well know, I still appreciate it, because it offers me a chance to develop my abilities. During my college years, I have made rapid and great progress in many areas, as a student, I work very hard, and obtain scholarship many times, as a monitor, I work earnestly, also gain good comments from teachers and classmates, working as a member of Student Union, I strive to finish any assignment perfectly. In a word, I learned a lot in my college life. Introduce your family In my family, there are three members, my farther, my mother, and I. My parents are workers, my father works very hard, and he is always fully occupied, so most of the housework is done by my mother, of course, while I am at home, I would help her. 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. During my preparation for graduate examination, the support from my family is always my momentum. Parents‘love is unselfish, I am deeply affected, so I will do all what I can to repay them. Introduce your hometown My hometown is XX, a young city in XX Province. It is famous for its XX and XX. There are great scenes here, XX, XX, XX, and so on. Each year, many people come here for tour and investment. So I believe that, with the joint efforts of every person, a better future of XX is coming (round the corner)。
Introduce your reason for preparing the postgraduate exam During the past four years, I have learned a lot of professional knowledge and practical skills, but gradually, I realize it is not enough. In my opinion, further study is actually urgent for me to realize and finally achieve self-value. Life is precious, it is necessary to catch any opportunity for self-development, especially in the competitive modern society. Therefore, I prefer to go on for further education. Why do you choose to study in our department?
I am deeply impressed by the academic atmosphere when connecting to the web site of your department. In addition, I am attracted by the process of XX, and want to do something for XX. As the proverb says‘process is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.’If I got a chance to study here, I would like to continue to accept professional training, in order to get ready for working in the future. I hope I can achieve my goal soon. About your future plans:
What do you expect to achieve during your study if you are enrolled into this institute?
There must be many things to learn if I were enrolled into my ideal research field. I hope I can build up a systematic view of XX, especially in the fields of XX. Sincerely, my wish is to get a complete comprehension of XX. On the other hand, I am dreaming of the participation of some relevant projects of my major, for this reason, I will get more experience in practice. And what‘s more, I expect to continue my study for doctorate degree, if it is possible. In a word, I am looking forward to making up a solid foundation for future profession which is based on three years of study here. Do you have any hobbies?
In my spare time, I like reading books, collecting cards and coins, playing volleyball, communicating with friends, and so on. I also like English very much, I am fond of watching English films and listening to English songs, I passed College English Test Band six in September, 2003, I do believe there is still a long way for me to learn English well enough, however I will not shrink back, Because I realize that English is a bridge connected our country with the outside world. Learning English is the most direct and available method for intercourse among countries and also useful for us to get advanced knowledge and technology from other nations.
专业课:
专业课的复试方式也早就知道了,考一门本专业的基础课,XX导论,由于我是跨系考,所以对这个领域的研究对象,研究方法等一些基本问题都不太了解,或者说理解的层次、深度都远远不够,针对这种情况,我除了一本XX导论的书之外,又买了一本相关的书,以达到优势互补的目的,在这个寒假里,我看了XX导论的三分之一,回到学校之后,看书的效率明显提高了,没到一个礼拜就把XX导论的一本书看完了,可是看过一遍之后,并没有达到预期的效果,可以说只是在读的过程中浅浅地理解了,但没有记住重要的概念和知识点,我承认第一次通读有点急功近利,囫囵吞枣的味道,所以只好再来一次,在这次阅读的过程中,一旦遇到主要的概念、知识点,我就一一记录下来,毕竟手写的过程也是记忆的过程,事实也是如此,通过这次阅读我记住了不少知识点,在有了一定的基础知识之后,我开始阅读导师的部分论文,注意这一点非常重要,设想一下,如果你是导师,你也希望你的作品受别人重视吧,一个道理,如果你在面试的时候说不出来,就在笔试的试卷中写出来,把导师的观点写在答案里面,相信导师在评卷的时候会眼前一亮的。
在准备复试的过程中,3月底,国家线姗姗走来,教育类315分,英语、政治51分这个时候我又在想另外一个问题,我打了355分,别人也不一定比我少啊,如果别人都比我多,那岂不是在复试的时候还要激烈地竞争一下?在这个问题的引导下,我提高了准备复试的学习强度,如果在复试中被刷,那岂不是更不值了?
就这样时间一天天地过去了,复试名单,复试通知先后地在网上出现了,复试的时间也快到了。
复试全过程:
还记得复试的那天早上没有阳光,天气有点冷,本来通知8:00的考试也推迟到了8:30,而我在7:40就已经到了考试地点,在外面等待的过程中,我遇到了三四个考我这个方向的考生,在和他们的交谈中我发现这几个哥们儿的分数是一个比一个高,只有一个在我之下,其余的都比我多,说真的,此时此刻真的有点紧张,心想只有在复试的时候好好发挥才能弥补了,不一会儿就进了考场,而一进考场的那种气氛是我没有想到的,因为那实在是太正式了,完全没有走过场的意思,笔试由原来通知的两小时变成了一个半小时,乍一看到题目时,真是心慌了,有一个是这门学科的最最基本的定义,我竟然没有什么印象了,专业课只有五道题,前两道比较基础,后面的就需要自己发挥了,而英语笔试是一篇论文的翻译,足有两篇之多,我刚翻译了1/3左右考试时间就到了,然后是一个接一个地面试,我的面试序号排在中间,等待面试的时候,大家说起了刚刚进行过的笔试,感觉都差不多,答得都不好,能答完卷的就更不用说了,几乎是没有。
不一会儿,前几个面试的勇士一个接一个地回来了,用面无血色来形容一点也不夸张,看到这种情景,真是既高兴又难过,高兴的是如果每个人都是这样的情况,那就不用担心了,难过的是如果面试拉不开档,那么我的笔试实在是…哎,不能想那么多了,死活也要拼一下了,由于我的面试序号是排在中间,所以就有请教过来人的机会了,前几个进去的考生都说回答得很不顺畅,而且还考专业英语,我当时头脑就发蒙了,自我介绍我还是有准备的,可是专业英语我可是一点准备都没有啊,过一会儿,就轮到我了,先是抽了英语口试的题目,然后给十分钟准备时间,我前面的人不一会儿就出来了,也就五分钟吧,我走进了一个小屋,只见里面六七个老师,坐在一排,我坐在他们对面,老师开始发球了,可以不像我预想中的那样,老师的发球我能接住的寥寥无几,大部分都接得勉勉强强,还有上面的英语口试也没有用上,老师把自我介绍跳过去了,直接问的专业英语,好在我心理素质好一点,脸上没有太紧张的表情,这一关还不能说完全失败,就是这样,总体感觉并不是很好,接着是新一轮的等待,在这次等待中还不是太沉闷,因为要修改毕业论文,测试毕业设计,在前几个星期出来的拟录取名单里面有我一个,但是毕竟还是拟录取,总是有些不放心,如今调档函来了,这颗心应该说落下一半了,下一半何时落,估计得等通知书下来了。
根据我自己的切身经历,对复试又有了新的理解:
首先,不要听信谁说复试不用看,只是走个过场,复试同样需要付出努力!当然了,各学校各系也不一样,但是一定要认真准备,也就是说我们宁可把困难程度估计的大一点,以免当困难来的时候会惊慌失措。
其次,这个时候最好不要和导师联系,因为这个时候老师都是避闲的(个别学校、个别老师除外),如果你这个时候去联系导师,搞不好会弄巧成拙,这样岂不是搬起石头砸自己的脚吗?
再次,复试需要准备,但是大家要把握准备的方向,因为复试的时候不会像初试那样考的那么全面,只是考察学生的基本素质,判断学生是否具有培养价值,如果你还像准备初试那样去死啃书本是绝对行不通的,这点大家一定要注意。
最后,准备复试的时候,千万不要有浮躁心理,因为我们总是希望在一周甚至更短的时间内改变自我,或者改变周围的世界,也许这正是为什么那些有关如何减肥、如何提高创造力等自助类图书能够始终畅销的原因,也告诉了我们诸如如何快速提高听力水平,怎样在15天内通过四、六级等短期培训班一直受到学生的青睐的原因。然而,生活中没有奇迹。一个人如果真正渴求根本性的变化,就听一听丘吉乐在战争期间对他的人民所说的忠告也许会更好:惟有鲜血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水,才能胜利!
写这篇文章是对我这一段时间内的总结,它使我去反思我曾经做过的,想过的,以及我应该换种方式做得更好的事。我以前当然也有反思的过程,但不像本文这样细致。读自己写的东西,我为曾经付出的努力而自豪,同时也为犯过的错误而感到羞愧,希望通过阅读我的经历能够帮助你反思目前和将来的学习过程,找到可以帮助你更好的准备复试的方法,如果能够给你启发,则是我莫大的荣幸,最后祝大家考研以及今后的人生中一路走好!
