剑桥大学之路-采访Kings应届A-level毕业生Zixuan Xiong
1What college will you study at, and what degree course have you been accepted to do? 你将就读哪个学院,什么专业?
Gonville and Caius college, Economics tripos 剑桥大学冈维尔凯斯学院,经济学专业
2Did you always know you wanted to go to Oxbridge, and what were your main reasons for applying? 是不是一直就目标牛津剑桥这样的名校?
Cambridge is my dream university and it is why I choose to study in the UK. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious institutes of higher learning, and also has a traditionally strong reputation in Economics.
剑桥大学是我的梦想大学,也是为什么我选择来英国学习。剑桥大学是最有名望的高等学府之一,而且在经济学方面极具盛名。
3Why did you decide to apply for Cambridge, rather than Oxford? 为什么选择申请剑桥,而不是牛津?
I found the topic of The Great Depression quite interesting, and only Cambridge provides lectures in this topic in the third year.我对"30年代世界经济大危机The Great Depression”非常感兴趣,也只有剑桥大学有在大三开这门课。
4How did the team at Kings help with your interview/application for Cambridge University? 国王精英中学的老师是如何帮助你准备剑桥大学的申请与面试的?
My economics teacher Sush answered my queries in different topics beyond the curriculum range. The school also provided me a mock interview which I found really helpful especially when you have never attended an interview. 我的经济学老师Sush帮助我解答课本以外的不同问题。学校的模拟面试也非常有用,特别是我以前从来没有参加过面试。
5What did you find most helpful? 哪一方面是最有用的?
I really appreciate the mock interview as it helped me gain insight into what is going to happen in an academic interview and made me less nervous. 我非常感谢模拟面试环节,让我可以有机会预演学术面试,也让我没那么紧张
6How would you describe the interview process at Cambridge? 如何形容一下你在剑桥大学的面试?
In generally, it was a quite relax process as the interviewers were trying to help you answering those questions rather than deter you from applying the university. 总体来说,其实面试过程是很放松的,面试的老师是在不断的引导你回答问题,而不是试图阻止你的申请。
7What are you most looking forward to about starting at university? 开始大学学习,你最期待的是什么?
I am looking forward to meeting the new classmates and the lectures in my interested topics really attract me. 我很期待见到新同学,以及那些我感兴趣的,可以吸引我的讲座课。
8Do you have any idea what you’d like to do after you finish your degree? 有想过大学毕业后的打算吗?
In my plan, I would like to go on studying, but it may be changed during the next three years. 按照我的机会,我希望继续学习,但是可能也会在未来三年改变,计划不如变化嘛。
9Do you have any advice for other students who would like to apply to Oxford or Cambridge? 对其他想申请牛津或者剑桥的同学,你有什么建议吗?
I would say that reading is really important, especially for courses like economics, law, etc. It would never be a bad idea to have a wide range of knowledge of your choosing course as interviewers would not ask questions that can be easily answered only using the information in your textbooks. 阅读是非常重要的,特别是经济,法律这样的课程。广泛积累和你专业相关的知识永远都是有益的,仅局限于课本,是永远不够的。在面试中,也不会只问到课本知识。
10How would you describe your experience at Kings? 如何形容你在国王精英中学的体验?
Kings is a place in which I had a memorable life and met my close friends. I really appreciate the teachers there. 在这里,我的生活充满了回忆,还遇到了许多亲密的朋友。我真的非常感谢这里的老师。
该学院在剑桥经常被称作凯斯学院。斯学院是剑桥大学历史上的第四所学院,也是目前第三富有的学院。学院的很多学生取得了重要的成就,这其中包括12位诺贝尔奖获得者,人数列牛剑学院第二位(剑桥大学三一学院居第一位)。凯斯学院拥有历史悠久的医学教学传统,这来源于两位医生校友约翰·凯斯和威廉·哈维,凯斯还为学院设计了带有使者之杖的院徽。学院著名的校友包括发现DNA结构的弗朗西斯·克里克、发现中子的詹姆斯·查德威克爵士和研究盘尼西林的霍华德·弗洛里爵士。剑桥大学卢卡斯数学教授史蒂芬·霍金是现在该学院院士。学院在经济学、英语文学和工程学也都有很高的学术成就。
