Prepare 10 FAQ
The following are 10 common interview questions:
1. Can you introduce yourself in one minute?
Why did you choose our school (to study arts/science)?
3. What are your expectations for the preparatory life? Are you ready?
4. What is your goal for further study or employment?
Please tell me about the extracurricular activities you have participated in. What have you learned from these extracurricular activities?
6. Please tell me about your reading habits or unforgettable learning experiences?
7. What contribution will you make to our school? What qualifications do you think you have to get this sixth form degree?
8. Can you talk about the current sixth-grade students? What kind of sixth-grade students do you think are suitable?
9. What are your strengths?
10. What are your shortcomings?
No matter what your answer is, be sure to make the interview teacher feel that your advantages meet the requirements of the school. In order to convince the interviewer that you are the right person, your answer must be insightful and supported by real evidence. Now, the sample answer to the question 10 about students' shortcomings is as follows:
"My weakness is my poor English conversation. I have noticed this learning problem since the third grade. At the suggestion of my English teacher, I adopted various improvement methods, such as reading aloud in front of the mirror and my family to overcome my shyness; Listen to the tape and learn the correct pronunciation; Watch English TV news, learn authentic accent, listen carefully to your own recording and correct your English conversation. Although the progress is slow and laborious, it is very effective. Now, my English conversation is above average, and I feel very proud. I got a grade C in the oral English test of Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination, and I am really happy. I understand that I still have a lot to improve in this respect, and I will continue to work hard. I firmly believe that as long as I persist, I will further improve my English conversation, and maybe in the near future, I can speak almost perfect English. 」
Like the above answer, the candidate left a good impression on the interview teacher, because he can find his own shortcomings (not an easy thing) and then try to improve them (actually quite difficult). He cited examples (various ways to improve his English) and concrete facts (his level in the oral English test in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination and his English performance in the interview were really good) to illustrate his advantage-perseverance (most interview teachers will think this is a great advantage, and schools must also meet this important condition for admitted students). In short, candidates can successfully turn their shortcomings (poor English conversation) into many advantages (self-awareness, self-improvement, perseverance, diligence and so on). ) in the eyes of the interview teacher. So, hey! He finally succeeded in the interview and easily got his degree!
