英語專業(yè)論文答辯開場白
Good morning, all appraiser committee members.
I am a f.o.&boli-bennett, my tutor is Chen.
Her constant encouragement and guidance, I have finished my paper.
Now, it's show time.
You and I will work hard to welcome any correction.
The topic of my thesis is《 George Eliot “Middleton ma qi” of the female and female problems》.
Here's the paper selected topic background.
George Eliot (1819-~1880) was bom as Mary Anne Evans, an English novelist,journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorimi era who developed themethod of psychological analysis.
George Eliot is her pseudonym in the literary circle.
In January 1855 after eight-month-stay with George Henry Lewes from Germany back toEngland, her first article Evangelical Teaching in Westminster Review was well received, butconsidering the discriminative views on women critics in the mid-Victorian era,she used “theauthor of article No.
4as a code name to conceal her gender so that she could gaina fair treatment from critics.
With the encouragement of Lewes and her distinct views onwriting, she turned to fiction in 1856, among which Scenes of Clerical Life is her first novel.
As a leading woman novelist in the late Victorian era, Eliot is a prolific writer in noveland poetry.
Her works include seven novels including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on theFloss (1860),Silas Marner (1861),^omo/a(1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866),Middlemarch (1871-72),Daniel Deronda (1876),poetry with The Spanish Gypsy (1868) asthe representative, translation of David Strauss' The Life of Jesus (1846) and of LudwigFeuerbach's The Essence of Christianity (1854) and other articles like Silly Novels by LadyNovelists (1856),Scenes of Clerical Life(l857),etc.
when she worked as editor ofWestminster Review (1851-1854)。
As far as Eliot's writing style is concerned, she creates her fictional world out of herpersonal experience~a middle-and-lower-class rural England of the nineteenth-centuryMidlands.
All her rich experience gives rise to her distinct writing features, which is highlypraised by Leavis in The Great Tradition:
Of the earlier novelists it was George Eliot alone (if we except the minor relevance of JaneAusten) whose work had a direct and significant bearing on her own problem.
It had this bearingbecause she was a great novelist, and because in her mature work she handled withunprecedented subtlety and refinement the personal relations of sophisticated charactersexhibiting the 'civilization,of the 'best society,' and used, in so doing, an original psychologicalnotation corresponding to the fineness of her psychological and moral insight .
Leavis summarizes the writing features of George Eliot from two aspects.
Firstly, Eliot's lifeexperience and her research into the Victorian society are well reflected in her works,whichjustifies for our study on the inter-relationship among her life, her feminine outlook and herfeminine characters in her works.
Secondly, she specializes in ”sophisticated characters“ withthe touch upon the Victorian society and a daring trial on the psychological development ofcharacters.
Young called Eliot as ”moralist of the Victorian revolution .
Undoubtedly Eliot'sdeep insight into human psychological and moral aspects symbolizes her mature techniques inhandling with characters, which,to a great extent, also greatly influences her successorsincluding Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and D.
H.Lawrence,etc.
When it comes to her position in English literature,Leavis places Eliot “mnong threeother great novelists including Jane Austen, Henry James and Joseph Conrad.” He regardsEliot as “a great artist~a great novelist, with a great novelist's psychological insight andfineness of human valuation .” Lord David Cecil compares George Eliot with Jane Austenand says by way of explaining the phrase, it is this: that “George Eliot, being concerned, notto offer 'primarily an entertainment,' but to explore a significant theme-a theme significantin its bearing on the 'serious problems and preoccupations of mature life'-breaks with 'thoseftmdamental conventions both of form and matter within which the English novel up till thenhad been constructed?‘” In this way, Eliot's contribution to English literature and herphilosophy beyond the traditional realm for women cannot be neglected.
Middlemarch is a milestone of Eliot's mature works,which depicts a provincial life of avirtual town named Middlemarch in1830s with more than 70 characters in it Leavis callsMiddlemarch as “the only one book to represent her mature genius.” Virginia Woolfmakes- the following comments on Middlemarch:
It is not that her power diminishes, for, to our thinking, it is at its highest in the matureMiddlemarch, the magnificent book which,with all its imperfections, is one of the few Englishnovels written for grown-up people.
The political background of Middlemarch is concerned about the first Reform Bill in1832 of English history.
This novel has won critical triumph as well as commercial success,which embodies Eliot's philosophy on life, women, reform and morality,etc.
Besides,characters reflect the writer's thinking and passion.
As Longinus points out,“The genius ofgreat poets and prose writers, as their passion declines, finds its final expression in thedelineation of character !叫。” So it is with George Eliot in her Middlemarch, Therefore, thefeminine characters in Middlemarch have something to do with George Eliot's outlook onVictorian women.
What's more, her personal experience also contributes to the formation ofher distinct feminine views.
In this thesis, researches will concentrate on the feminine protagonists in Middlemarch tohave a relatively deep study of Victorian women and their women questions in the novel fromthe feminine perspective.
During the process, the text intends to find out the interrelationshipbetween Eliot's distinct feminine views and her feminine characters.
More importantly, thethesis will induce a relatively objective study on Middlemarch and its feminine characterswhen they tackle with their problems so as to find out both progressiveness and limitations ofGeorge Eliot's feminine views.
Next, it is an outline of my paper.
In the main part of this paper, I divide it into six parts.
In the first part, the authoress displays the introduction of the thesis including theresearch background, research perspective and aspects as well as the purpose and significanceof the current study.
In the second part, the thesis shall give the definition of women questions and related keyconcepts in Eliot's writings.
In the third and fourth part comes the textual analysis.
In the two parts, the text willfocus on Dorothea the protagonist to discuss the typical women questions in family andsociety and to look into how they deal with these questions from the gynocritic perspective.
The fifth part shall be a further exploration on George Eliot's views on women.
In the sixth part, the research shall come to the conclusion of the thesis as well as somesuggestions for further exploration.
OK! That is all.
Thank you! Please ask questions.

二、英語專業(yè)學(xué)生論文答辯答辯程序:
英語專業(yè)的論文答辯主要分為兩部分:自我陳述和回答答辯老師問題,下面對這兩部分進行詳細講解。
(一)、自述(用英語完成):
1、先問好,再開始自述,自述時間為5-8分鐘,要簡明扼要,必須時可將自述內(nèi)容提綱制作成Powerpoint文件。
2、主要陳述內(nèi)容():
(1)自己選擇這個題目的原因;
(2)設(shè)計和實施的簡單過程(如,商務(wù)方向:采用什么方法來搜集信息、資料等);
(3)自己論文的主要內(nèi)容(不要念論文,最好用4、5句話簡單介紹論文內(nèi)容,如,商務(wù)方向:做了哪些調(diào)查,得出什么結(jié)論,計劃如何實施項目);
(4)仍然存在的問題(如,商務(wù):在實施項目中可能會遇到的風(fēng)險以及如何解決);
3、最好準(zhǔn)備相關(guān)文字并熟記(答辯時要脫稿陳述,但是可以看PPT文件)。
4、語言最好簡單清楚,不要直接用論文中內(nèi)容,應(yīng)該用解釋性的句式,如:When I was designing the lessons, I found that….
(二)、回答老師問題(老師用英語提問,學(xué)生用英語回答):
1、大約有4-6個問題,時間將持續(xù)10-15分鐘。
2、首先要聽清楚問題,如果沒有聽清,可以要求老師重復(fù)問題(可以說pardon之類的話)。
3、回答時首先要態(tài)度好,要切題,而且不要保持沉默,不會時可以表示抱歉。
4、常見問題:
(1)Will you please give us a self-introduction? 有些學(xué)生可能由于緊張沒聽清問題便開始背誦論文的內(nèi)容,結(jié)果造成答非所問。
(2)Give us a presentation of your thesis.
有些學(xué)生一聽到thesis便詳細而又不理解地背誦其論文內(nèi)容, 在被打斷之后便不知該說什么。其實, 考官只是想知道你對論文的總體了解, 讓你簡單闡明自己論文的內(nèi)容與觀點。
(3)Why do you choose such a theme?/ What do you want the reader get from your thesis? 對于這個問題,你可以談?wù)勀愕南埠茫阆胍x者從中得到什么。
(4)What is the uniqueness of your point of view? 對于這個問題,你可以談?wù)勀愕挠^點與他人不同之處及原因。這就要求你有相關(guān)知識。
之后便是針對你的論文的問題了。

5、帶一份定稿(要與老師們持有的論文頁碼一致)。
6、最后要向老師們表示感謝。
總之,要通過論文答辯,應(yīng)注意:
1.
在平時的學(xué)習(xí)過程中必須注意提高自己的聽說能力。
2.
答辯前應(yīng)做好充分的準(zhǔn)備,最重要的是熟悉論文的內(nèi)容及自己的觀點。這一點十分重要,如果不熟悉論文的內(nèi)容及自己的觀點,答辯時很難自圓其說。
3.
要有自信心。當(dāng)然,自信心主要來自事先的充分準(zhǔn)備。
