考研复试应该什么时候开始准备？需要准备些什么？(6)

·英语面试/笔试
1）英语面试
大部分院校都会进行英语面试，一般会有这两种形式：抽题汉译英（或英译汉）和口语问答。前者一般是翻译专业相关的书籍或文献中的段落，一般不会太难，经历过考研英语的复习基本没什么大问题；后者问题千奇百怪比较灵活，有与专业相关的，有与专业无关的日常唠嗑，因人而异。所以大家需要尽可能早地去准备日常的口语练习，倒不是说需要发音多标准，而是可以做到能正常跟导师进行英文交流，不卡壳。我个人比较推荐的一个练习方法是：平时日常生活中，你正常自然说的每一句话，可以尝试默默用英文复述一遍。比如：
广州最近的天气怎么样啊？冷不冷？热不热？
妈！今天晚上我想吃牛肉，你能做一下吗？
妈，我出门一趟，散散步，大概半小时后回来！
这些很生活化的日常对白，都可以正常表述完后试着用英语说一遍，能锻炼你即时英文表达能力和临场应变能力。此外，听力也是需要重视的一环，听懂问题是正确回答的前提，英语面试中老师可是全程英语提问的哦，到时候如果听不懂问题，然后冷场了，那可会是非常尴尬和拉胯的哦。
同时以下几个问题一定要认真准备：
一是自我介绍，如自己的家乡，毕业学校，所学专业，业余爱好，家庭基本情况等信息，附上一个超级弗兰奇（有没有海贼迷）好用的自我介绍模板，可根据自身情况酌情修改：
