雅思口語：答案擴展的五點重要法則
在雅思口語課上，最讓老師痛苦的一件事情是學生開不了口或開口只會說簡單的單詞。一些基礎不好的學生經(jīng)常不知道口語該從哪些方面去講。在考場上更是表現(xiàn)的一塌糊涂，答案十分簡短和簡單又支離破碎。例如：
EXAMINER: Do you like music?
CANDIDATE: Yes, I do, because music is very interesting.
6分的評分標準中有如下兩條：
“is willing to speak at length, has a wide enough vocabulary to discuss topics at length ”
這里對如何把答案說“長”有特別的規(guī)定和要求。本文就如何擴展答案（主要針對Part 1）進行一些討論。下面歸納了幾種簡單的方法。
一、I+F+F
I=myself, F=friends or family members, F=feelings when you are doing these things. 就是在回答問題的時候可以說說自己的情況，也可以說說家庭成員或者朋友的情況，然后再說一下在做這些事情時候的感受。
例如剛才的問題：
Do you like music?
Absolutely. I am really into it, and I have some friends who are also crazy about music. Every time I listen to nice pieces, I feel I am over the moon. I guess they feel the same way.
Do you like cooking?
Definitely not. Cooking is the last thing I would do. No one in my family troubles to cook but my mom. She cooks a lot, but she never stops complaining.
當然不是所有問題都可以這樣來擴展，但liking型的題目都可以通過這樣的思路來。
二、External Cause +Internal Cause
內(nèi)在原因+外在原因
內(nèi)在原因可以說說你你自身的原因，外在原因可以說說家人，社會外在原因?qū)@個事情造成的影響。例如：
Would you like to change your job?
I suppose not. I am used to everything in my company. I do not want to make things different. It takes time to know people around me. Besides, my colleagues are really nice , and the salary is good. So I guess I will not change my job for a while.
這個思路也可以用于對like型問題的回答，對與題目中隱藏Why的問題也適用
三、Past +Present + Future
對于有的問題可以談論下過去的情況，討論下現(xiàn)在的情況，必要的話還可以說說將來的情況，例如：
What do you do for a living?
Presently I work for a travel agency. To be more specific, I am a tour guide.
You know, two years ago, I was an assistant for a manager. I had to stay in the office all day. I was not born to be an indoor type. So I am doing what I want to do.
What types of music do you like best?
Well, in the past, when I was young and crazy, I really fancied Rock and Roll, Powerful and passionate stuff, but sometimes it can be too loud and noisy as well. Now I am extremely fond of rap. It’s kind of cool, I guess. Maybe one day, when I am tired of rap, I will listen to other music, say, classical, country music or whatever.
四、Statement + Supporting ideas+ Example
給出自己的觀點，再給出論據(jù)，然后再給出個例子。例如：
Would you say your hometown is a good place for people to live?
Undoubtedly. Life is really made easy here. Wherever you want to go, you can always find a kind of transport that suits you. The big thing is shopping is awfully convenient. There are countless shops; some of them are open 24 hours a day. What’s more, there are always things for you to do, say, many nice pubs.
五、記敘文“六要素”法擴展
Time+ place+ people+ cause+ process+ result
當然不是每一點都需要涉及到，也沒這個必要，只需要把值得提的地方說一說即可。
What do you do in your spare time?
When I have free time, I prefer to play basketball with my close friends at the playground. You know, we are under great pressure. It’s a nice way for us to let our hair down. Sometimes we play against some other schoolmates. However, we do not care much about winning or who losing the game. We just play it for fun. I also made some friends through doing it.
當然雅思口語回答不一定要遵照某種固定的模式，但要對問題給出回答，然后再給出些相關的細節(jié)才能夠顯示出“talk at length”的能力。建議對于基礎薄弱的同學和無話可說的同學上述思路都是可以在口語實戰(zhàn)中操作和運用的，只要反復練習加以熟練，考場上便可脫口而出。
