點(diǎn)評1： 如果你對這間公司的了解僅僅限于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上所搜索到的信息， 請你像這位申請人一樣滔滔不絕地列舉該公司的亮點(diǎn)， 尤其是最新的亮點(diǎn)， 比如剛開發(fā)了什么新產(chǎn)品， 剛有什么令人驕傲的業(yè)績等。你說得的信息越多越新越流利， 你的印象分就更高一些。在這個(gè)問題上， 展示你的“忽悠”才能吧。

　　回答示范2： What I know about Kimberly(注釋： 金佰利) is partly from the Internet and newspaper, and partly from my own experience of using Kimberly products. I am a loyal customer of Kleenex, and I sometimes choose Kotex. Well, the new product, I don’t know the English name, the fragrant tissue, is really my favorite. It's a bit expensive, but I can't resist it!

　　點(diǎn)評2： 避開人人可談的來自網(wǎng)絡(luò)的信息， 轉(zhuǎn)而談?wù)撟约簩υ摴井a(chǎn)品的了解， 確實(shí)棋高一招。

　　五、 Self-evaluation 關(guān)于自我評價(jià)的問題

　　28. How does your mother describe you? 你的母親認(rèn)為你是個(gè)怎樣的人？

　　問題分析： 只有外國面試官會這樣提問， 因?yàn)樗涣私庵袊膰?。在中國?有兩類母親， 一類母親是傳統(tǒng)型的中國婦女， 從來不會夸獎(jiǎng)自己的孩子； 另一類母親是80后的現(xiàn)代母親， 因?yàn)橹挥幸粋€(gè)孩子而看不到孩子任何的缺點(diǎn)。在面試中， 你不妨把中國的這種“文化”傳遞給面試官， 以使面試氣氛更加輕松有趣。

　　回答示范1： Well, it’s an interesting question. It reminds me of a Chinese saying, the best child is your own child, and the best wife are others’ wives. It means a man or woman is always satisfied with his/her own child, but not with the spouse, hehe. My mother is just like this. She tells everybody that I am hard working, more hard working than I should be. She says I am trustworthy and independent, never giving her troubles. You know, she sent me to boarding school at 14.

　　點(diǎn)評1： 這個(gè)回答很好， 它有兩個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)： 第一， 比較有趣， 輕松地傳播了一點(diǎn)中國文化； 第二， 以事實(shí)說明了自己的刻苦與自立的特征。

　　回答示范2： Most Chinese parents are not quite as expressive as western parents. My mother has never told me what kind of person she thinks I am, but I feel if you ask her, she would say that I’m a good kid. I never give her trouble. You know, as a kid, I was healthy, seldom went to hospital. As a student, I never needed her to push me to study. As a son, I give her a call several times a week to ask how she is doing and to tell her about myself.

　　點(diǎn)評2： 很詼諧很感人的回答！

　　回答示范3： Well, I think my mother would describe me as hard working, independent, but too independent, “stubborn” is her very word, hehe. My mother says I’m hard working because it’s true, I am a bit of a workaholic. She says I am independent because she sent me to boarding school at 14 and I took very good care of myself. But maybe because she sent me away at a young age, I've learnt to make my own decisions instead of consulting her, so she feels I am stubborn, hehe.

　　點(diǎn)評3： 有優(yōu)點(diǎn)， 有缺點(diǎn)， 非常真實(shí)。

　　29. What do you consider your strengths as an employee? 作為一名公司職員， 你覺得自己有什么優(yōu)點(diǎn)？

　　問題分析： 請大家注意， 這個(gè)問題的前提是“作為一名員工的優(yōu)點(diǎn)”， 它和單純的“你有什么優(yōu)點(diǎn)”是有區(qū)別的。你必須列舉自己在工作場合的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
