What is your greatest weakness/shortcoming?

　　你最大的缺点是什么?

　　what is your greatest strength?

　　Do you have any particular merits?

　　你的最大优点是什么?

　　考研复试面试问题常问的就那么几类

　　你最大的缺点/优点是什么是常问的问题

　　那么该怎么回答?

　　你最大的优点是什么怎么答

　　有的考生回答时，会说自己最大的优点就是善良，热爱小动物或是乐于助人。但是同学们一定要注意这些回答对于考研来说没有太大的帮助，所以在回答问题时，一定要以考研为出发点。我们可以从自己的专业或是自身特点来说。

　　比如考的是学硕，一般比较热爱研究，所以可以从这几个方面展开：careful, detail-oriented(仔细的),logical(有条理的),steady(踏实的),analytical(擅长分析的),innovative(创新的)。

　　如果考的是专硕，实践比较多，那么就可以说：responsible(负责任的), dependable(可靠的), efficient(有效率的), adaptable(适应性强的), cooperative(合作的), punctual(守时的)。

　　当向考官说明后，要做到有理有据，所以再举一个例子加以说明。说完之后，刚才提到，我们之所以说这些优点，是因为这些优点对于考研来说是有帮助的，所以，当举例之后，还要说说这样的优点对自己产生了什么样的积极影响，对于考研有什么帮助。最后再总结一下。所以整个的思路为：【第1句】：position(定位)【第2句】：examples(举例)【第3句】：positive influence on you(对你的积极影响)【第4句】：conclusion(总结)。

　　下面我们结合一篇范文，看看具体的语言表达。

　　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.(举例)

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

　　I think this is my greatest strength.(总结)

　　你最大的缺点是什么怎么答

　　在回答这类问题时，同学们不要太过紧张，重点是快速定位到底自己想要向考官表达自己什么缺点。

　　有的同学非常机智，会这样告诉考官：我有很多缺点，但是我最大的缺点就是太过追求完美。这样的回答看似在说自己的缺点，但是实则在夸自己。显得不太真实。

　　还有一类同学非常诚实，会告诉考官：我最大的缺点就是比较懒、抗压能力弱、性格内向等。但是同学们这类缺点考官听了之后，会觉得这位考生不太适合做自己的学生，因为研究生期间会有很多的科研项目，会写很多论文，如果抗压能力弱的话，就不太适合考研。

　　所以同学们在选择自己的缺点时，应该选择一些无关紧要的缺点，不会让考官觉得面前的这位同学无药可救，不适合做科研。

　　比如，我们可以说"不会拒绝别人"或是"当自己工作忙的时候，容易忘记一些事情"等诸如此类。定位好了之后，那应该如何回答考官的问题呢。

　　首先同学们开门见山，先告诉考官自己的最大缺点，即：position。

　　然后再举一个例子说明自己的这个缺点，即：example。之后同学们要注意，因为说的是缺点，所以同学们还应向考官说明自己已经在采取措施改正这类缺点了，这样考官也会觉得考生是一个有错能改的人，即要写：ways to correct。

　　最后总结上文的陈述就可以了，即最后是：conclusion。

　　刚才提到的是思路，到底应该如何用英文表达呢，这里结合一个范文来看一下具体的英文表达。

　　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. (举例)

　　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. (改正缺点)

　　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.(总结)

　　这就是同学们如何回答的小诀窍啦

　　各位小伙伴可以按照总结的思路

　　借鉴上面的一些语言

　　针对自己的情况提前准备
