Every year, some lucky students will receive offers from their dream universities. But before they are admitted, they might have to go through an interview. This might make them think: “How do I prepare for the interview?”
It’s impossible to decide which applicant to admit from the application materials alone. The interview is an opportunity for the school to learn more about the applicant—to put a face to a name. Besides, the interview can be used to examine the applicant’s professional knowledge.
Different kinds of interviews
There are three main kinds of interviews. The first is an online interview.
Preparation for an interview
Importance of self-introduction
Self-introduction is the first part of all interviews. Everyone needs to introduce themselves. This part tests your summarizing and narrative skills, and you must highlight the key points. Don’t just talk big about how outstanding and skilled you are.
| A．Value of an interview |
| B．Opportunities of an interview |
| C．Obtain as much relevant information as you can in advance. |
| D．You should explain how your skills match the school’s specialty. |
| E．Also the school can learn whether the applicant is likely to accept the school’s offer. |
| F．This type of interview is generally conducted by someone working in a similar position. |
| G．This could be in the form of a recorded interview, a video essay or a live, face-to-face interview. |
Can You Spot Fake News?
Fake news is everywhere — you see it on your social media, and even on forwarded messages in your phone’s group chats.
Moreover, remember to ask yourself, “Is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth?” Sometimes a fake news story can have some truth to it, but most of the facts and figures are made up. For example, the event and the people mentioned are real, but the quotes attributed to them and other facts are simply made up.
There are other steps you can take to check the information you receive. You can do a reverse (反向的) image search. Upload a photo to some image search engines to see where else it has been used and for what purpose.
| A．Check the website and quality of the articles. |
| B．Is it from what is described as reliable sources? |
| C．Being able to spot fake news is a crucial part of modern education. |
| D．It can be difficult to distinguish between the fake news and the truth. |
| E．That will help you find out if a photograph is being falsely presented. |
| F．Some fake sites use addresses similar to those of real news organizations. |
| G．Search for the same story on other credible websites to avoid being misled. |
Sometimes it can be difficult to relate to the generations that have come before us.
But older people have plenty of wisdom and knowledge to share with younger generations, and treating them with respect should be second nature for all of us.
Call people sir or ma’am. Even if you have grown up in a more casual environment where you usually call your friends’ parents by their first names, you shouldn’t assume that all older people are comfortable with that kind of informal life.
Show interest in their lives. It’s easy to think that older people don’t have much going on because they don’t do many of the things that they used to when they are younger.
| A．Do offer them necessary help. |
| B．Don’t assume they have disabilities. |
| C．However, many elderly people are still active. |
| D．Some elderly people may be more traditional. |
| E．We ourselves will be old some day in the future. |
| F．It’s better to be straightforward than to risk annoying someone. |
| G．Growing up differently makes us feel we have nothing in common with them. |
