很多烤鸭们在备考口语时已经了解到拿到高分的一个关键，那就是努力做好评分标准中所说的fluency，vocabulary，grammar和pronunciation。但在实际练习的时候却都会时不时遇到这样一个瓶颈——无话可讲。这对口语来说是很致命的一个问题，没有内容作依托，所有评分标准中的口语能力都无法展示，所以了解丰富答案内容的方法是备考口语的当务之急。本文结合真题，讲解如何在雅思口语考试中拓展答题思路，让你的回答滔滔不绝，层出不穷！
一．拓展思路方法之：多重细节
造成答案过短的主要原因之一就是“只回答”考官所提的问题。而是事实上，考官提问的目的并不“只想听”问题的答案。在基本答案的基础上，考生们需要主动给出更多额外信息，因为考官想听到更多“语言能力”的展示。
所以大部分的题目的核心拓展思路为：Direct answer + X
1. X= 5WH+ How Often
这个方法基本就是“自问自答”，把与核心内容相关的各方面信息主动提供给考官，然后连缀成完整的答案。下面我们来看一下part1和part2的一些真题演示。
Part 1真题：Have you travelled recently？
思路演示1 ：
Yes, I have. （Direct answer）Last month（when） I went to Hong Kong（where） with my parents（who）. We had a great time at the Disney Land and went shopping，too.（what）
思路演示2：
No，I haven’t（Direct answer）. I’m been busy with my studies(why).But after the exam（when）, my parents and I（who）are going to Hong Kong and we would like to go to Disney Land and go shopping, too. （what）
Part 2真题：
思路演示：“where it was”: on campus（Direct answer）
(Where)：It was next to our teaching building of English Department
(When) : It was built 50 years ago when our school was established.
(Who) : Most of the students liked to go there as well as the teachers
(How often): I almost went there everyday especially around exam time.
我们可以看到，这个方法简单易行，是拓展思路最基本的方法，只要具备基本的语法功底就可以轻松做到。 但在part2中笔者建议考生们不要使用“过量”，因为part2有严格的时间限制，如果每一条point都补充很详细的信息很有可能会遗漏卡片上的重要信息，甚至会让考官觉得你“跑题”，所以适可而止就可以了。
2. X= examples
在基本答案之后，考生可主动引入例子。我们先来看一下常见真题的演示：
Part 1 真题：What's your favourite type of music?
思路演示：Well，I’m a big fan of Modern Popular Music（Direct answer）, you know, like Hip-Pop, Rap, Rhythm and Blues , Rock ‘n roll, things like that…
Part 3 真题：What kinds of films do people in China like to watch?
思路演示：Well, they watch a broad range of movies, in fact（Direct answer）. For instance, men prefer Action & Adventure , Martial Arts and Romantic Comedy. But women are more into Romance and Romantic Comedy. And children are quite interested in Science Fiction and Animated Cartoons…
你会发现，如果你对所涉及话题比较熟悉，就应该主动找机会采取举例子的方法，把之前积累的词汇作为“examples”展示出来，这是展示“vocabulary”的能力，化被动为主动向考官拿分的好方法。
3. X= feelings and opinions
我们都知道在口语part1和part2中问题都是围绕考生的personal details来设置的，所以可随时加入自己的感受与观点，我们先来看一下常见的真题的演示：
Part 2真题：
思路演示：“what subject they taught”
He taught us maths in the second year of middle school. Well, I have to say that, before I had Mr. Chen as my teacher, maths had always been so boring and difficult to me that I always slept during class, it was my nightmare, you know. And I guess that is why I didn’t like him at the beginning…
通过以上的例子我们可以看到，在表达中随时加入感受与观点，不仅可以轻松充实卡片的内容，而且可以使内容更加生动和个性化，避免给考官留下呆板无趣的印象，对最终的分数有很积极的影响。
二．拓展思路方法之：多重角度
在口语考试中，有时考生常常因为思考角度比较单一，所以答案内容也会有些单薄，这时我们不妨多一个角度思考问题。下面我们来看一下真题演示：
1. “WH问题”
Part1 真题：Do you prefer to buy things in small shops or in big supermarkets and department stores?
思路演示：Well，I’m more into small shops if I would like to buy things that are special, you know, something like shoes，or accessories. But if I need to buy foods or electrical equipment, then it’s more likely that I would go to a department store, which is more reliable …
2. “Yes/No问题”
Part 3真题：Do you think healthy eating is important？
思路演示：Yes，eating healthy foods is necessary in many ways，especially that it can prevent some diseases like diabetes. But I think that it is fine to eat a little unhealthy foods in moderation，in fact，we have to say that most of the fast foods are tastier than healthy foods…
从以上的例子我们可以看到，从多一个角度考虑问题，答案往往就会丰富许多，并且听起来更加合理全面。但是笔者还是要提醒广大考生，参考这种回答方式时，一定要注意先给出明确直接的答案，否则会让考官感觉你并未给出正面观点，有跑题的嫌疑。
综上所述，其实在备考口语的过程中，考生们大多说情况下并不是不知道“如何说”，而是苦于没有思路，“无话可说”，笔者希望通过本文雅思考生们可以尝试拓展不同的思路，丰富答案内容，充分展示语言水平。希望烤鸭们能学有所用，滔滔不绝~
