小編：環球教育整理 649雖然很多考生在日常生活中可以侃侃而談，但是面臨托福獨立口語考試，常常會陷入無話可說的境地。環球教育小編總結其原因有二：1.因為英語不是我們的母語，說出來的話需要點時間轉化;2.在考試的時候會因為緊張而忘了之前準備的種種話題和素材，大腦陷入一片空白的狀態。那么，我們該如何脫離無話可說的境地呢?抓住細節，捋清思路，你會成功逆襲!一起來看解析。
托福口語獨立題考兩道：
第一個題我們叫做描述題，要求考生描述其熟悉的一個人，一個地方，一個物體或者一件事情;
第二個題叫二選一題，要求考生從所給的兩個選項里面選一個并給出支撐自己選擇的理由。
兩個獨立題都明確表示要學生在段落里面給出足夠的細節和例子來充實段子。但大多數中國考生在回答這兩個題的時候都會陷入一個問題，段落過于空泛，段子明顯不充實，很多時候都是在重復一個觀點一個解釋，而沒有讓這個段落往前發展下去，導致得分偏低。
今天就跟大家說說如何用細節拓展獨立口語內容。
比如我們來看一個例題：
Task 1
Talk about a popular gathering place in your town where people like to go. Describe theplace and explain why people enjoy going there. Include specific examples anddetails in your response. 要求描述一個人們愛聚集的一個地方并解釋原因。
考生拿到這個題大多會選擇一個shopping center，leisure center或者park這種比較適合各個年齡階層的人去的地方作為topic,下面是某位考生的作答：
In my opinion, people in my town like to go to the central park for two reasons:
To begin with, they can do some exercise there. A lot of people will go to the park todo some sports to keep healthy. Sometimes the whole family will get together inthe park to do exercise.
In addition,people could enjoy the beautiful views in the park and they feel relaxed. Theycan get close to nature and release pressure from work or study.
So that’swhy people in my town will go to the park.
我們來分析這個段子，開門見山給出topic—park, 用兩個理由支撐—do exercise and enjoy views，但整個答案欠缺的就是細節充實的問題。比如do exercise后面，考生可以直接列出具體細節：
People like to play Tai Chi or go jogging in the morning,and the whole family may get together to go for a walk after dinner or playbadminton in the park.
直接給出這種細節描述exercise讓段子更生動，而不是一直重復people do exercise or do sports.
同樣的，第二層關于enjoy beautiful views后面也可以增加一些具體的景物描寫，trees, flowers, lake, bridge, fountain等。
下面給出一個對比的范例：
Well, agathering place in my town is the central park.
One reasonis that the park provides people a place to do some exercise. For example, oldpeople would play Tai Chi in the early morning, students may go jogging aroundthe park, and the whole family could go for a stroll after dinner. By doingsome sports, they can keep healthy and energetic.
Plus, peoplehave the chance to get close to nature and escape from the rest of the citylike the concrete buildings, loads of schoolwork and huge pressure from work. Imean, they could feel the fresh air blowing their face, the smell of theflowers in the park.
So that’swhy citizens like to go to the park.
這樣整個口語回答會顯得更充實，更容易拿到高分。既然充實段落很重要，下面我們來介紹幾種常用方法補充細節。
拿自己，身邊的人直接舉例子
例題：Task 2
Do you agree or disagreewith the following statement?
Students benefit more from classes with a largenumber of students than they do from smaller classes. Use specific examples anddetails to support your opinion.
這個題，其實就是小班好還是大班好的問題。選擇沒有對錯，只要能充分證明自己的選擇即可。
學生的回答提綱是： smaller class is better
1)Get more personal attention from professor
2)Concentrate better
對于第一個reason，我們可以直接舉一個身邊的例子加以說明。
比如：takingmyself as an example, last summer, I took park in a painting training class andthere were only five students in the class, so I got more time to interact withthe teacher about my weakness in painting.
很多學生質疑說這樣的例子有說服力嗎。但事實上獨立題本來就是側重考生的familiar things，所以推薦用身邊的小例子作為支撐。
舉反例，正的不行就說反的
同樣上面這個例題的第二個理由，是學生常常會用到的一個萬能理由，但很多學生都不知道怎么把它加以擴展。
說：Students can concentrate better in smaller class becauseit’s more quiet.
后面的思路就枯竭了，這個時候就可以用舉反例的細節擴展方法：however, inbigger classes, there are so many people that they may easily talk, laugh, jokearound or gossip, which makes noise in the class to distract others.
給出具體的數據
這一個方面一般在我們用到時間和錢這兩個萬能理由的時候會用到。
例：Describe the most efficient type of transportation in your country. Usedetails and examples to explain your response.
Topic: airplane
Reason 1: fast，save time
Reason 2: no traffic congestion
對于第一個reason, 我們可以直接給出數據和對比：
For example,it only takes me 2 hours to fly from one city to another, however, when Ichoose to take train, it may cost me more than 20 hours.充分說明taking airplane is more efficient.
例2：You prefer to watchmovie in the movie theater or at home.
Topic: at home
Reason 1: save money
Reason 2: have more options when choosing movies
對于第一個理由，我們可以用倍數形式來顯示在家看電影多省錢：watching movies in the movie theater costs 2 timesmore than watching same movies at home.
例3：這座建筑很高。
The building is verytall.
擴展細節：
The building is as tallas 468 meters, ranking first in Asia and third in the world. There are 68spheres in the building and the three biggest ones are observatories, wheretourists can have a birds-eye view of the whole city. It has been the landmarkof the city since it was completed.
