英语论文答辩常见问题
在论文答辩时，不用太紧张，把老师问的问题认真回答就好，应该不会为难同学们的。
简单的问题：
What's the significance of your paper?
What's the originality of your paper?
这类问题很常见，你对自己的论文较熟悉就行。
难点的问题：
老师可能会挑出你写出来的某一点很细节的东西来问，比如说：别人认为这个人物是这样的，为什么你会认为是那样的，而这两种看法刚好相反?
我答辩的时候老师问我：我写的是C.S.Lewis的《纳尼亚传奇》。老师问：作者写的Narnia真的会实现吗?这就很难回答了，因为站在作者的观点是有可能的，从现实的角度看几乎不可能了。
答辩的时候，一般是不会翻论文的。因为你必须对自己的论文很熟悉，另一方面，老师问的问题，你读答案也不太好。除非老师说翻到某一页，你这一页有什么观点，解释一下为什么?这才会翻论文看。
老师有的.时候也不问什么难问题，只是指出你的论文那个地方修改，因为最后答辩后还要交终稿存档，所以会让你继续改改格式之类的。
建议：要对自己的Bibliography(参考文献)有一定的了解，有的老师会问某本文献里讲了什么观点，这类问题笼统回答一下就好，所以你得知道自己用了什么文献。
Good morning, professors and everyone. I come from JMU College. I am XXX and my supervisor is prof XXX. With her sincere and intellectual guidance, I have finished my paper.
The title of my paper is An Analysis of Ahab’s Personality Tragedy in Moby Dick. I choose this title as my topic due to the following reasons. Firstly, I am fond of literature works , especially gothic literature works. Secondly, I am quite familiar with this work as this is one of the texts in our American literature course . Last but not least , Moby-Dick is widely recognized as the summit not only of Melville’s art but of American nineteenth-centry fiction.
The purpose of this essay is to study Captain Ahab,the role in Moby-Dick, whose leg was bitten by the white whale in his process of the whaling. After losing his leg, he determined to revenge Moby Dick and tried to kill it. In order to revenge, Ahab ultimately dooms the crew of the Pequod (save for Ishmael) to death by his obsession with Moby Dick. By taking the comprehensive analysis perspective of Moby-Dick, this thesis will point out that the main characteristics of Ahab.
This paper consists of three parts. Part one presents an introduction to the Social Background and the life of the Author Herman Melvillehe ,Part two presents The Main Characteristics of Ahab. there are three aspects have been divided to analyze his characters: his monomania , his selfishness, and his individualism. Part three presents The Consequences of Ahab's Personality Tragedy.
OK, that's all. Thank you !

英语论文答辩的常见问题指导
在毕业论文答辩会上，主答辩老师的提问方式会影响到组织答辩会目的的实现以及学员答辩水平的发挥。主答辩老师有必要讲究自己的提问方式。一起看看英语论文答辩中有哪些常见问题吧?
首先，你应该把你论文中涉及到的概念都弄清楚，它们的定义是什么，应该能用英语做简单的讲解。比如，礼貌准则 ， 这就是一个概念，老师可能会问，“什么是礼貌准则?”“礼貌准则起什么作用?”等;在这个基础上，把这些概念相联系的方面也准备一下： 比如，礼貌准则与日常交流、礼貌准则与英语教学等。
老师问的问题也是基于你的论文中探讨的东西，你只要对所讨论的题目清楚明了，把这些变成自己的话用自然流畅的英语表达出来，应该是没有问题的。有时候，老师可能提一些这样的问题，比如，“Where do you find this quotation?”"Do you agree with it? and why?"
在回答这类问题的时候，不能只给出一个简单的信息，要展开一下。例如，
I cited this from Dr. Samovar and Porter, from their book "Communication between Cultures", in a chapter in which they discuss the possibilities that cause communication breakdown.I find it supportive to my arguments here.
开场白里面简单地介绍自己的研究和论文的主题，为什么选择这个项目。简单说几句研究过程和方法。这里一定要给出一个Roadmap, 也就是说明你的论文有几部分，每一部分里面都探讨的什么问题。这一点很重要。
对于自己不清楚的问题，可以看看老师的问题和你的研究是不是有focus 上的差异，这样你可以强调一下这种差异，因不是你的研究重点，你没有过多在意。不会就是不会，可以让老师来回答这个问题。
注意答辩过程中和老师的目光交流。回答问题时要看着他们的'眼睛，声音要洪亮，这样才能表达出你的自信。
拓展阅读：
一般来说，在个人陈述的时候介绍一下，why did you choose this topic?然后整个论文的结构，分为几个部分，每个部分的大致内容~~
个人陈述的模版网上有，不过还是自己写的好，因为怕其他人也是在网上下的那个模版
一般来说，上台介绍自己的姓名，然后指明自己的supervisor是谁，"with his/her constant encouragement,I finished my paper..."等等
关于会问到什么问题，就要看你的答辩老师咯~有的老师估计会针对你论文中的某个商标翻译而考你噢，所以要熟悉你论文中作为例子的翻译。

2.What's the meaning and purpose for you research/study?
