1、交通大學(xué)MBA英語(yǔ)面試講義-Samuel&David1. 基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)與語(yǔ)感鍛煉當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)一段話的時(shí)候，我們對(duì)其中的一些詞匯的英文翻譯還是知道的，但是我們可能對(duì)于如何快速地把他們組合起來(lái)，并且流利的表達(dá)出來(lái)，可能有點(diǎn)遲疑，所以，我們首先做幾個(gè)小練習(xí)，拾起我們久違的語(yǔ)感吧。1) 過(guò)去的5年之內(nèi)，香奈兒在中國(guó)市場(chǎng)一直就在盈利。the past 5 yearsChanelChinas marketalwaysmake profit2) 管理者的主要任務(wù)就是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)既定的目標(biāo)。managermain tasklead a teamachieveset targets3) 目前，提高我們市場(chǎng)份額最

3、l2. 如何迅速的組織語(yǔ)言和表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)我建議前期可以使用速記的方法，把自己觀點(diǎn)和想法的關(guān)鍵詞記下來(lái)，然后再根據(jù)這幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行擴(kuò)展和延伸。我們?cè)谑褂弥形牧奶斓臅r(shí)候，也是如此的，我們表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)，都是首先朦朧有個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的核心詞，然后再滔滔不絕的表述出來(lái)。我們中文能夠這么做是因?yàn)檫@是我們嫻熟的母語(yǔ)，比如說(shuō)別人問(wèn)我：“你昨天去哪里了？”，我如果去了人民廣場(chǎng)，那么人民廣場(chǎng)就是我大腦中閃現(xiàn)出來(lái)的核心詞，然后我說(shuō)“我昨天人民廣場(chǎng)瞎逛了，啥也沒(méi)買(mǎi)，不過(guò)好多人啊，美女都雜堆了”。我們?cè)谟⒄Z(yǔ)方面可能還沒(méi)這么嫻熟，慢慢來(lái)，先把最核心的東西用最簡(jiǎn)單的方式表達(dá)出來(lái)。How to achieve more profits?關(guān)鍵

4、詞：交易額 成本 To achieve higher profits, we need to improve our sales revenue while reduce our cost. 如果是母語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人，可能延伸的更加豐富：How to achieve higher profits? I guess it depends, like, first we have to make sure our sales revenue is getting high, which means more customers are buying our products, and at the sa

10、agement knowledge b，change career3. 表達(dá)過(guò)程中的幾個(gè)原則1) 順譯的原則大腦中不管想到什么，不要太在意整個(gè)句子的順序安排，只要大體還遵循語(yǔ)法的規(guī)則，就按照我們的思路順著表達(dá)出來(lái)，既可以節(jié)約時(shí)間，也可以減少停頓?，F(xiàn)在上海的汽車(chē)越來(lái)越多，說(shuō)明人們的收入水平也越來(lái)越高。但是過(guò)多的車(chē)輛造成了嚴(yán)重的交通堵塞，我想政府應(yīng)該管管這個(gè)事情了。Now Shanghais cars are getting more and more, it means that peoples income is becoming higher and higher. But too many

11、 cars caused serious traffic jams. I think the government should do something about it. With peoples income continuously increasing, the number of cars in shanghai has witnessed rapid growth these years. Yet, the excessive growth of cars has led to serious traffic jams, and its time for the governme

12、nt 據(jù)我所知，寶潔有100多個(gè)市場(chǎng)研究人員，專門(mén)研究中國(guó)的消費(fèi)者購(gòu)物習(xí)慣。但是，你要是去51job等招聘網(wǎng)站，看一看國(guó)美的招聘信息，全部是招聘什么采購(gòu)經(jīng)理，市場(chǎng)部唯一招聘的可能就是促銷(xiāo)人員，幾乎沒(méi)有市場(chǎng)調(diào)研的崗位。2) 分拆的原則當(dāng)你大腦中的句子比較長(zhǎng)，很難短時(shí)間理順的話，不妨將他們分拆成幾個(gè)小的簡(jiǎn)單的句子表達(dá)出來(lái)，中間使用and，but，so等簡(jiǎn)單連詞串起來(lái)，而不需要去斟酌句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。我覺(jué)得這個(gè)案例中這家公司留不住人的主要原因是這家公司根本沒(méi)有把員工當(dāng)成是最重要的資產(chǎn)，同時(shí)也缺乏有效的激勵(lì)機(jī)制讓員工熱情地工作。I think, in this case, this company can

13、not retain the employees, because it doesnt treat employees as the most important asset, andalsoit doesnt have a good incentive system, andsopeople dont work hard. 3) 替換的原則價(jià)格戰(zhàn)只會(huì)造成兩敗俱傷。Price war will only make both parties lose.我覺(jué)得，案例中這個(gè)經(jīng)理不太信任自己的下屬，什么事情都親自上馬，不知道分權(quán)的技巧，結(jié)果自己筋疲力盡，員工卻很冷漠；另外呢，他也不太清楚如何合理的分配

14、工作，結(jié)果員工也很迷茫，不知道目標(biāo)是什么。I think, in this case, the manager doesnt trust his people，and do everything himself. He doesnt know how to give power to them, so.he is very tired, but his people dont care. Whats more, he also doesnt know how to divide jobs, sohis people dont know what to do, and dont know the

15、 target. 除了以上的3個(gè)原則之外，我們還要盡量使用簡(jiǎn)單的詞匯，使用簡(jiǎn)單的句型。我們的目標(biāo)是把想法表達(dá)出來(lái)，因此無(wú)須過(guò)度在意表達(dá)的優(yōu)美。二.面試問(wèn)答traditional topics :1. 自我介紹2. 教育背景3. 工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)4. 你的長(zhǎng)處和短處是什么？5. 在空余時(shí)間有什么愛(ài)好？6. 為什么以前曾經(jīng)辭職？7. 過(guò)去工作中最大的成就是什么？8. 你的上司和同事如何評(píng)價(jià)你？9. 結(jié)婚了嗎？有沒(méi)有孩子？簡(jiǎn)要介紹一下你的家庭？10. 如果面試失敗，你會(huì)如何？11. 為什么報(bào)考MBA？ 12. 為什么選擇交大？13. 你了解同濟(jì)嗎？14. 你認(rèn)為你做一個(gè)MBA學(xué)生合格嗎？15. 你對(duì)于MBA

42、 of all, the incentive system in Sony was not very good. I mean, personal benefits are not closely related to ones work performance, so people would lack motivation to work hard;Another reason is that there was limited room for my further career development. My goal was to become the CFO in a giant

43、company, but the opportunity was slim in Sony;The last reason was that the job was not exactly what I liked most. In fact, I prefer a bit more challenging job, but my work in Sony was a little routine, and my interests and abilities could not be fully put into play.Whatever the reason, Im still than

46、. The problem facing the company at that time is that it was troubled with high operating cost and low delivery efficiency. In order to make the situation better, I worked with my mates on the Information System for half a year, and also brought forward our plans of how to better our war

Second, I take MBA because I want to have a career change. I started working as an en
