公派留學面試經驗
今天下午去參加了國家公派留學聯合培養英語面試。三天前我得到的通知，然後狂練英語聽力，聽完後再自己敘述一遍。這三天每天都是聽英語，很多時候都快聽吐了。可今天去了後才發現是小組討論。說實話，我最怕的就是這種形式。因為跟老師聊，老師可以引導我們說。跟學生聊，就怕自己說自己的，而且還不一定能聽懂。面試體會如下：
(1)各種各樣的主題，實在是難以準備，只能自己平時提高水平。特別是英語口語。
(2)平時想辦法克服自己的緊張情緒。今天我在那兒比較緊張，腦子一篇空白，再者討論的主題“western food
and chinese food”。這個題目我本來就不熟悉，平時也不怎么關注。
從此我發誓：一定練習英語，注重聽力與口語。但願這次不會因為口語問題影響到我是否可以成行。
