研究生面试英语自我介绍【通用三篇】 作文(合集20篇)

我，卢XX，女，今年24岁，系嘉应学院中文系汉语言文学（师范）专业的应届毕业生，为人诚实守信、安静祥和，平时最爱看看书上上网听听音乐，我的同学都说我是最适合读中文的人。上大学时偏爱现当代文学，最爱看潘军的作品，特别是他的《手势与独白》三部曲；而张爱玲、张小娴、安妮宝贝等也是我偏爱的一些作家，她们的文集前前后后我倒也看得差不多了。因为专业关系与个性的偏好，另外一些现当代的名家我也是很关注的，像贾平凹、林语堂、格非、阿来、马原、王蒙、张洁等，具有良好的文学素养。

自小学六年级以来，一直有坚持写日记的习惯，偶尔有情致时，我也会写写小文章练练笔，师范专业的我在学校通过专业学习与教师技能的培训、测试，实习时也真枪实弹地给学生们上过十来堂的语文课，自我感觉口头表达能力还是不错的。但是，我自认为，我的书面表达能力较口头表达能力更强。

我也是爱读诗的，我的毕业论文设计的题目是《论“第三代”诗的创作追求》，通过近一年的阅读、收集资料与具体的写作，这让我在大学最后的时间里对现代先锋诗歌的认识更为全面了。另外，席慕容的诗我也看了不少，曾经就很为她的一首《一棵开花的树》着迷，甚至写下了读后感类的文章，惹得一男人感动了，不住地游说我，傻傻地说：你去当作家，好么？并坚信如果我能一直坚持写下去，终有一天能成为作家的。

总的来说，我自认为我是完全符合贵公司招聘网络文员的要求——“有良好的书写、表达，以及文章的鉴赏能力”。可能，目前我没有多少的工作经验，但是我年轻，学习能力强，也愿意刻苦学习，我完全相信自己能胜任这一份工作！

所以，在此，我希望贵公司能给我提供一个展现自己才华的平台，我将不胜感激，并为贵公司的发展添砖加瓦！

静候您的佳音！

在金融学院这4年的学习生活让我满载而归，4年里我系统的学习了有关金融方面的专业知识，例如金融学，商业银行，中央银行理论与实务等。我认为随着国民经济的增长，银行已经不仅仅在承办存储款等业务，更多的是承担一种信用中介，银行已逐渐发展为老百姓生活中必不可取的金融机构。

能够到银行就业更是我们金融专业毕业生的首选。而我们学校在毕业生就业这方面也为我们量身打造了一个系统的就业体系，如对点钞、票币百张、五笔打字等专业技能进行了一定的培训与考核。另外学校也安排我们参加各种社会实践，尤其是在工行的实习，让我熟悉了银行的工作环境，了解了银行大堂的基本工作流程和业务操作，大堂是银行不可或缺的岗位，它是银行的门面，是银行业务的讲解员，也是银行与老百姓沟通的桥梁。在这个岗位上不仅仅是体现我对专业知识的掌握程度，更重要的是它能培养我的耐心，意识，应变能力，端正我的工作态度，所以我很看重这次贵行招聘的机会。如果我能成功，我一定会努力成为企业认可，客户满意的优秀员工。

[小升初面试自我介绍参考范例

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.

您好。我是来自北京交通大学市场营销专业的XXX.我喜欢读书看报，因为它能丰富我的知识;我还喜欢跑步，那是因为它可以磨砺我的意志，我究竟是个什么样的人呢?我是一个活泼开朗、热情、执着、有坚强意志的人。

我今天竞聘的将是营销经理一职，在这里我想谈谈自己对营销的理解。在我看来营销不等同于推销，但推销是营销的重要组成部分。要想做好营销工作，首先就要做好自我推销。让一个陌生人信任自己是有一定难度的，但只有客户相信可以，才会相信自己的产品，才能更好的将产品推入市场。

在学校期间，我始终以提高自身的综合素质为目标，以自我的全面发展为努力方向，树立正确的人生观、价值观和世界观。通过四年的学习和生活，并参加多次社会实践，我有健全的人生观，正确的政治方向，有一定的分析问题、解决问题的能力，有较强的动手能力。脚踏实地是一个立足社会的根本，也是我时刻铭记的一句话。拥有良好的职业素质和职业操守，能够忠于自己的企业，将个人的职业生涯规划与企业的发展紧密的结合。勇于创新，善于开创，能承受较高的工作压力;吃苦耐劳，注重合作，具有年轻人火一样的工作热情和活力。

身为班长的我，在三年的时间里，组织班级各种各样的活动。通过组织这些活动，提高自己的组织协调能力，加强团队合作意识。同时也让我充分认识到，个人的能力毕竟很有限，只有通过团队合作，集思广益，取长补短，才能更好的完成工作。营销也是一种服务。既然是一种服务，就应该做到让大家满意，用热情和真心去做。激情，工作中不可或缺的要素，是推动我们在工作中不断创新，全身心投入工作的动力。激情加上挑战自我的意识，我相信我能胜任这份工作。

希望各位考官对我已经有一个清晰的解，谢谢考官给我的面试机会，我能够胜任这份工作的!

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in china, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the gregorian calendar.

Xian was called Changan in Han Dynasty. The connotation of "Changan" is "a place of permanent peace". It was not until the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Changan became famous both at home and abroad as the largest and busiest international metropolis of that age in the world. Xian obtained its present name in 1369. It stands first on the six largest ancient capitals. From the 11 century B.C. onwards, Xian or its vicinity was established as the capital city by 11 dynasties successively, including the Western Zhou, the Qin, the Han, the Sui and the Tang, and it also served as the capital of two peasant regimes respectively under the rule of Huang Chao and Li Zicheng. The citys capital status lasted for 1,608 years. As regards the number of dynasties and span of time, Xian served as an ancient capital beyond compare.

During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Xian was the largest city in the world. Changan, was linked to many central Asian regions and Europe via the Silk Road, with thousands of foreign traders living the city.

Xian is the capital of Shaanxi Province and also the political, economic and cultural center of the Northwest China. With the development of travel industry and the implementation of the open policy, it has become one of the nations key tourist cities and tourism has become the mainstay in Shaanxis economy.

Xian lies at longitude 103? east by latitude 34?north, and 412 meters above sea level. It has an average annual temperature of 13癈, and an average annual precipitation of 604 mm. The rainy season comes in July, August and September. The city now has under its jurisdiction eight districts -- Xincheng, Beilin, Lianhu, Yanta, Weiyang, Baqiao, Lintong and Yangling, and five counties -- Changan, Lantian, Huxian, Zhouzhi and Gaoling. As a whole, Xian covers an area of 9,983 square kilometers and has population of 5,860,000. The city proper occupies an area 861 square kilometers, and reaches a population of 2,650,000.

With an elevation of 500 metres, the Weihe Plain extends between Baoji in the west and Tongguan in the east and borders the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Huangtu Plateau in the north. Lying in the warm zone, the plain has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Chequered with the Weihe, Jinghe, Luohe, and Bahe rivers as well as the Jinghui, Weihui and Luohui canals, the fertile land on the plain has easy access to irrigation facilities and an abundant yield of farm produce. Xian lies in the centre to the south of this plain, a favourable geographical location surrounded by water and hills.
