前两课我们讲了面试英语中首先要进行的开场白，和如何进行自我介绍。通常自我介绍都要介绍自己的个人情况，家庭情况，工作经验，个人能力等等，今天我们就来讲讲如何介绍自己的个人和家庭情况。先来看一些简单的对话：

C: My nation is the Han.



I: How large is your family?



C: There are four of us including my parents, a younger sister and me.



I: Do you spend much time talking with your family?



C: Yes. It's said there's a generation gap in the world today, but I don't think this is the case at our house. We all work at taking time to talk with each other. Especially at mealtime, we all eat and talk together. Meals are very lively at our house.

I: Your application form said that you have a younger sister. How do you get along with each other?



C: We get along well with each other. She is 6 years younger than me, and she is right now studying for college entrance exams. She asks me a lot for advice on how to study and things like that. Besides, we do many things together, such as going swimming, mountain climbing and soon.

Background:

　　当你参加面试时，由于条件所限，主考管们不可能详细地把你介绍给与会者，其他人未必都听清主考管的介绍。这时，求职者为了展示自我，当主考管们介绍你的语音刚落，你可立即接过话头，进行干脆而风趣的补充。如果有人想进一步了解你，要抓住时机，做进一步的介绍。
