考研复试中导师常问为什么要考研？用英语怎么回答，为什么考研这样的问题，看似简单，实则不同的回答会给导师传递不同的信息，因为面试的时间比较有限，所以一定不能浪费任何一次导师提问的机会，一定要结合自身的实际情况，来有效回答这个问题。简单的说，就是呈现自己的各种读研优势，并且坚定地告诉导师，自己已经准备好了。

Example 1

During the past four years, I have learned a lot of professional knowledge and practical skills, but gradually, I realize it is not enough. In my opinion, further study is actually urgent for me to realize and finally achieve self-value. Life is precious, it is necessary to catch any opportunity for self-development, especially in the competitive modern society. Therefore, I prefer to go on for further education.

Example 2

There are several reasons.

I have been deeply impressed by the academic atmosphere when I came here last summer. In my opinion, as one of the most famous in our country, it provide people with enough room to get further enrichment. This is the first reason.

The second one is I am long for doing research in throughout my life. Its a pleasure to be with my favorite for lifetime. I suppose this is the most important factor in my decision. Thirdly, I learnt a lot from my job during the past two years. However, I think further study is still urgent for me to realize self-value. Life is precious. It is necessary to seize any chance for self-development, especially in this competitive modern world.

In a word, I am looking forward to making a solid foundation for future profession after two years study here.

Example 3

Good morning. My name is ××, you can also call me Eason, I has such an English name just because the pronunciation of it is like my Chinese name. I graduated from this university last year, and major in computer science, I like computer very much, especially in multimedia technology, and wanted to make some achievement in this field, but when I finished my school, I realized that what I had learned was not enough for this target, I thought it would be great if I can continue my interest in that, so that was why I choose to further my study with a master degree.

Example 4-和出国深造的对比(为什么在国内读研)

I believe studying home is preferable though many students are enthusiastic about studying abroad to pursue their higher education. On the one hand, you don’t have to take foreign language tests such as TOEFL or GRE. This can save you a tremendous amount of time, money and effort, allowing you to put much energy into to your academic field. In addition, if you study at home, you can stay with your family and old friends. Meanwhile, while studying at home, you can enjoy the intimate friendship and comfortable family atmosphere which you can only dream of in a foreign university, where you will be accompanied by your own shadow most of the time. For these reasons, it is more realistic and sensible to pursue one’s higher education at home than studying abroad.

In a word, compared with studying abroad, I prefer to study at home. For one thing, it saves money for my family, and relieves the pressure of my parents. For another, studying at home may make me better than studying abroad, if I go to a terrible school abroad.

其实即便导师没有要求，大家也可以在自我介绍部分简单地加一些自我规划和考研原因方面的内容，当然一定不能喧宾夺主，自我介绍还是应该以介绍自身的实际情况为主，适当的加一些”题外话”会为你的英语口语部分增色不少。
