What is your greatest weakness/shortcoming?

　　你最大的缺點是什么?

　　what is your greatest strength?

　　Do you have any particular merits?

　　你的最大優點是什么?

　　考研復試面試問題常問的就那么幾類

　　你最大的缺點/優點是什么是常問的問題

　　那么該怎么回答?

　　你最大的優點是什么怎么答

　　有的考生回答時，會說自己最大的優點就是善良，熱愛小動物或是樂于助人。但是同學們一定要注意這些回答對于考研來說沒有太大的幫助，所以在回答問題時，一定要以考研為出發點。我們可以從自己的專業或是自身特點來說。

　　比如考的是學碩，一般比較熱愛研究，所以可以從這幾個方面展開：careful, detail-oriented(仔細的),logical(有條理的),steady(踏實的),analytical(擅長分析的),innovative(創新的)。

　　如果考的是專碩，實踐比較多，那么就可以說：responsible(負責任的), dependable(可靠的), efficient(有效率的), adaptable(適應性強的), cooperative(合作的), punctual(守時的)。

　　當向考官說明后，要做到有理有據，所以再舉一個例子加以說明。說完之后，剛才提到，我們之所以說這些優點，是因為這些優點對于考研來說是有幫助的，所以，當舉例之后，還要說說這樣的優點對自己產生了什么樣的積極影響，對于考研有什么幫助。最后再總結一下。所以整個的思路為：【第1句】：position(定位)【第2句】：examples(舉例)【第3句】：positive influence on you(對你的積極影響)【第4句】：conclusion(總結)。

　　下面我們結合一篇范文，看看具體的語言表達。

　　As for my strongest strength, I think it is my carefulness and responsibility in work and study, which promote me unceasingly devote myself to my work.(定位)

　　A case in point is that during a bid for a road project, we spent 10 days preparing for the job and everyone was very tired. It was already four oclock AM. And they all planned to have a rest, but I insisted on a final confirmation of the tender.

　　When doing that, suddenly I found that they had written the numbers oppositely. But when I told them about the mistake, they thought that I was young without any experience，and they could not have made mistakes. To persuade them，I had to take out the original documents. By comparing the two documents, finally they believed that it was a mistake. And we corrected it together. At last, we succeeded.(舉例)

　　Through this matter, I find that carefulness and responsibility are very important. And I also stick to them in the following work.(積極影響)

　　I think this is my greatest strength.(總結)

　　你最大的缺點是什么怎么答

　　在回答這類問題時，同學們不要太過緊張，重點是快速定位到底自己想要向考官表達自己什么缺點。

　　有的同學非常機智，會這樣告訴考官：我有很多缺點，但是我最大的缺點就是太過追求完美。這樣的回答看似在說自己的缺點，但是實則在夸自己。顯得不太真實。

　　還有一類同學非常誠實，會告訴考官：我最大的缺點就是比較懶、抗壓能力弱、性格內向等。但是同學們這類缺點考官聽了之后，會覺得這位考生不太適合做自己的學生，因為研究生期間會有很多的科研項目，會寫很多論文，如果抗壓能力弱的話，就不太適合考研。

　　所以同學們在選擇自己的缺點時，應該選擇一些無關緊要的缺點，不會讓考官覺得面前的這位同學無藥可救，不適合做科研。

　　比如，我們可以說"不會拒絕別人"或是"當自己工作忙的時候，容易忘記一些事情"等諸如此類。定位好了之后，那應該如何回答考官的問題呢。

　　首先同學們開門見山，先告訴考官自己的最大缺點，即：position。

　　然后再舉一個例子說明自己的這個缺點，即：example。之后同學們要注意，因為說的是缺點，所以同學們還應向考官說明自己已經在采取措施改正這類缺點了，這樣考官也會覺得考生是一個有錯能改的人，即要寫：ways to correct。

　　最后總結上文的陳述就可以了，即最后是：conclusion。

　　剛才提到的是思路，到底應該如何用英文表達呢，這里結合一個范文來看一下具體的英文表達。

　　As a matter of fact, everyone possesses some weaknesses. Well, I think my weakness is that I am easy to forget things, especially when I am busy with study or job.(定位)

　　A case in point is my friends and I usually make appointments to get together on a certain day. But when it comes, I often forget it completely and am concentrating on other things. Then they will call me and say: "hey, where are you? Are you coming soon?" Every time it is always a big surprise to me and I will be punished through a variety of ways by them. (舉例)

　　To get out of this habit, I have attempted to write down a reminder on my notebook whenever I have arrangements, and take the notebook all the time and check it often. (改正缺點)

　　So as a result, gradually I begin to kick this habit and now it is getting better. But I am still working on this way since it is a good method, I think.(總結)

　　這就是同學們如何回答的小訣竅啦

　　各位小伙伴可以按照總結的思路

　　借鑒上面的一些語言

　　針對自己的情況提前準備
