通常我們?cè)趯懲旰啔v之后都會(huì)加注一些自己的性格和興趣愛好之類的內(nèi)容，而這些內(nèi)容也是進(jìn)行面試時(shí)經(jīng)常會(huì)提到的話題，尤其是在英語面試的時(shí)候，面試方通常會(huì)問：How do you spend your spare time?
　　性格和興趣能在面試的時(shí)候給你的面試官留下好的印象，為什么不努力來說好呢？今天我們就一起來學(xué)習(xí)面試英語的最后一講：如何表達(dá)自己的性格和興趣愛好。下面先來看一段對(duì)話吧：

A：Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they?

B：I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.

A：How do you spend your spare time?

B：I usually read or so some sports.

A：What kind of book are you interested in?

B：My favorite books are those about detectives.

A：Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted?

B：In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.

A：What kind of sports do you like?

B：I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.

A：What kind of personality do you think you have?

B：Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished.

　　還有很多詞就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接著我們來說明一下在簡歷中或者面試時(shí)介紹自己的性格和興趣愛好的好處：

Background:

　　個(gè)人的興趣愛好其實(shí)主要體現(xiàn)在業(yè)余活動(dòng)上，對(duì)于剛?cè)肷鐣?huì)的學(xué)生來說，業(yè)余活動(dòng)主要就是課外活動(dòng)。

　　課外活動(dòng)包括社會(huì)活動(dòng)和業(yè)余愛好。

　　豐富多彩的課外活動(dòng)表示你希望豐富自己的社會(huì)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，發(fā)揮多方面的才能。通過你所參加的課外活動(dòng)，可以看出你的交際能力、價(jià)格修養(yǎng)、成熟程度和健康狀況。比如說你當(dāng)學(xué)生會(huì)主席的經(jīng)歷能夠表明你人緣好、善處人際關(guān)系、有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能等。

　　因此，如果你曾參加什么課外活動(dòng)，就如實(shí)寫出來。這些活動(dòng)可以幫助雇主了解你，成為有利的條件。課外活動(dòng)對(duì)于剛走出校門的朋友來說，是找工作時(shí)的一個(gè)相當(dāng)重要的條件。
