　　(一) 问答实例

　　◆ 问：How is this past year been for you?Ex1. It''s gone fairly well academically. I like the courses a lot. I''m doing well, and I''ve had a good time with them.Ex2. Well, I''d have to say this has been my most successful year this far. I am especially looking forward to my senior year because I was selected editor-in-chi of our school newspaper, and my writing this year has got me a column in our school newspaper, so I guess this year has been successful.

　　◆ 问：Tell me a little about yourself?I am interested in this university because of your sports program and because of the English opportunities.

　　◆ 问：I take it that you participate in sports at school?Yes.

　　◆ 问：Which one?Track.

　　◆ 问：At what level do you participate?At the Varsity level.

　　◆ 问：And you say you''re interested in the English program - can you tell me about your interest in English?Ex1. Well, I''ve always enjoyed reading and writing, and I''ve heard that this school has a good writing program.Yes, it''s known for its writing program. Are you interested in creative writing or expository writing?No, I haven''t.Have you brought any samples of your work with you?No, I haven''t.Ex 2. I''m especially interested in your English Department. I''ve always enjoyed reading and writing, and I''ve heard that you have a good writing program. I''ve brought a few samples of my writing in case you''d like to see them.

　　◆ 问：Give me three adjectives to describe yourself?I feel that I''m a dynamic person and a very enthusiastic person. I also tend to be more introverted that extroverted.

　　◆ 问：Sounds like a bit of a contradiction. Can you explain this?Well, I''ll try. I tend to keep my feelings inside of me and I don''t like telling other people what I''m thinking and feeling. On the other hand, if someone confronts me, then I will dinitely tell them.

　　◆ 问：Can you tell me about a book you''ve read?Yes, a book called The Matarese, a book about espionage by Robert Ludlum. It gave me an idea of the underlife of our government. I don''t know how much was true or how was fiction, but it had an impact on me.

　　◆ 问：Regardless, it made you think about some of the issues of government, right? Can you tell me about some of those issues?The secrecy behind a government that seems to be open. And things you couldn''t think about, like in the news, small items, such as wars, that just sort of fade out of the way, because of the government doesn''t want you to know about them.

　　◆问：Has this book made you more sensitive to the news?I find I take a greater interest in the daily lives of other people and other nations.

　　◆问：Is there anything that''s happened recently that you''ve picked up and has caught your interest, wondered about that you might not have otherwise?Yes, the war in the Falkland Island, and uprisings in South America.

　　◆问：Any particular aspect of it - a new story you caught, a detail or a fact that may have passed unnoticed - that you caught this time?Yes, the use of propaganda by the two governments, Argentina and Great Britain. Each has a different story for the same event, such as the sinking of a British ship. The Argentines said they had sunk it, and the British wouldn''t admit it until a couple of days later.

　　◆问：Tell me, in your opinion what is the most serious problem facing the world today?I''d probably say the most serious problem facing the world today has got to be the nuclear arms race.

　　◆问：What would you do about it to lessen the threat?It''s obvious that we can''t go on like this. The money could be used in much better ways, and the only thing we could probably do is to get know, another SALT III or something to that fect, to try to contain the building of new nuclear arms.

　　◆问：I see by your transcript that you''ve done very well in most of your courses. Science seems to be an area in which you don''t do as well. Can you tell me why?I''m really into science. I like the subject and I like the idea of messing around in the labs, seeing what blows up, what isn''t - I just don''t seems to be able to grasp the material as quickly as some others in the honors class. I''ve put in a lot of work and I''m not getting the results I''d like to although I really like the subject. If I were in an average level course, I''d probably do a lot better.

　　◆问：How did you a C student in science, get placed in an honors level course?Well, last year I had a B in biology, and they automatically moved everybody with B or better into honors chemistry. I though I could do equally well, but biology and chemistry are different.

　　◆问：But you haven''t dropped your chemistry, even though you''re not doing well in it?No, I like the course, and even though my test scores say otherwise, I know I''m getting a lot out of it.
