字號(hào):

通常我們?cè)趯懲旰?jiǎn)歷之后都會(huì)加注一些自己的性格和興趣愛(ài)好之類的內(nèi)容,而這些內(nèi)容也是進(jìn)行面試時(shí)經(jīng)常會(huì)提到的話題,尤其是在英語(yǔ)面試的時(shí)候,面試方通常會(huì)問(wèn):How do you spend your spare time?
     性格和興趣能在面試的時(shí)候給你的面試官留下好的印象,為什么不努力來(lái)說(shuō)好呢?今天我們就一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)面試英語(yǔ)的后一講:如何表達(dá)自己的性格和興趣愛(ài)好。下面先來(lái)看一段對(duì)話吧:
     A:Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they?
     B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.
     A:How do you spend your spare time?
     B:I usually read or so some sports.
     A:What kind of book are you interested in?
     B:My favorite books are those about detectives.
     A:Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted?
     B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.
     A:What kind of sports do you like?
     B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.
     A:What kind of personality do you think you have?
     B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished.

     Background:
     個(gè)人的興趣愛(ài)好其實(shí)主要體現(xiàn)在業(yè)余活動(dòng)上,對(duì)于剛?cè)肷鐣?huì)的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō),業(yè)余活動(dòng)主要就是課外活動(dòng)。
     課外活動(dòng)包括社會(huì)活動(dòng)和業(yè)余愛(ài)好。
     豐富多彩的課外活動(dòng)表示你希望豐富自己的社會(huì)經(jīng)驗(yàn),發(fā)揮多方面的才能。通過(guò)你所參加的課外活動(dòng),可以看出你的交際能力、價(jià)格修養(yǎng)、成熟程度和健康狀況。比如說(shuō)你當(dāng)學(xué)生會(huì)主席的經(jīng)歷能夠表明你人緣好、善處人際關(guān)系、有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能等。
     因此,如果你曾參加什么課外活動(dòng),就如實(shí)寫出來(lái)。這些活動(dòng)可以幫助雇主了解你,成為有利的條件。課外活動(dòng)對(duì)于剛剛走出校門的朋友來(lái)說(shuō),是找工作時(shí)的一個(gè)相當(dāng)重要的條件。
