由本地小學轉去本地國際學校,學生需要提前做準備,包括對學校進行整體全面的綜合了解。另外,國際學校尤其看重學生的成績和綜合表現能力,家長首先需要對於孩子目前階段的學業水平有個綜合的評估和判斷,才能在備戰考試期間對所需的知識查缺補漏,尤其是在英文創意寫作上要加強訓練,及有專業的面試備考老師針對性指導。
一旦學生通過國際學校筆試,就會被邀請面試。面試的目的有三個;第一,給學校認識學生的性格及興趣;其二,了解學生的基本英文理解及說話溝通能力;最後,面試是互動的,學校也藉此給學生發問機會,以了解學校的情況。
若是一對一的面試,以下是一些國際學校的熱門面試問題:
1.Why are you interested in our school?
2.Tell me a bit about your family.
3.What’s your favourite subject?Least favourite?
4.What do you read outside of school?
5.What has happened recently in current events that interests you?
6.What’s your greatest strength as a student?What do you need to improve?
7.Tell us more about what you do outside of school. What sports do you play?
8.Tell me about your friends. How would they describe you?
9.What do you want to be when you grow up?
10.What questions do you have for me?
