一、考官问答

（三）考研规划

1. The Reason for Postgraduate（考研动机）

1.1 Why do you want to pursue postgraduate education instead of staying in the job? 

OK, after graduation, I worked as a doctor in a small hospital in Luoyang. I once believed that experience is more important than theoretical knowledge, at least for doctors. But it turned out that I was wrong. Now I see theories as the foundation, 

experience as walls and decorations. Both are essential if you want to be a qualified doctor. Besides, according to my working experience in that hospital, I think I need to broaden my eyes to learn from experienced predecessors so that I can deal with complex situations in the future. That’s why I decided to quit my job for further education.

为什么你不想留在工作岗位上，而想继续深造？

好吧，毕业后，我在洛阳一家小医院当医生。我曾经认为经验比理论知识更重要，至少对医生来说。但结果证明我错了。现在我认为理论好比是地基，经验是上面的墙和其它装饰内容。如果你想成为一名合格的医生，两者都是必不可少的。此外，根据我在那家医院的工作经验，我认为我需要开阔视野，向经验丰富的前辈学习，以便将来能够应付复杂的情况。这就是我决定辞职继续深造的原因。

1.2 Why do you want to study in postgraduate school instead of finding a job?

The reasons behind this are as listed below.

For one thing, I am really fond of my major, and I have gained a comprehensive knowledge on my field after four years’ study. Meanwhile, with the passage of time, the more I have learned, the clearer I become to realize that I still lack some certain knowledge concerning my major, so I decide to further my study during the postgraduate period in the coming three years in order to enhance my professional skills.

For another thing, now many companies and institutions improve the educational requirements. Furthering my study can also sharpen my skills and ability concerning my future work. And I will have more choices for my vocation.

So, I am looking forward to making a solid foundation for my future profession through two/three years’ postgraduate study.

你为什么要在研究生院学习而不是找工作？

这个问题的原因如下。

一方面，我很喜欢我的专业，经过四年的学习，我对自己的专业有了全面的了解。同时，随着时间的推移，学习的越多，我越能更清晰认识到，我仍然缺乏关于我的专业的一些知识，所以我决定进一步的学习，在未来三年的研究生时期加强我的专业技能。

另一方面，现在许多公司和机构提高了教育要求。进一步学习也可以提高我今后工作的技能和能力。未来我将有更多的就业选择。

因此，我期待着通过两年/三年的研究生学习为我未来的职业打下坚实的基础。
