英语口语考试话题常用展开方式

（一）

枚

举法

枚举 法也叫列举法，用这种方法扩展话题，首先提出论点，然后列举一系列

论据或原因对主题 进行论证或阐述。请看下面一段语段：

There are two reasons why

I have decided to attend our university. First of all,

there is the question of money, our university

’s tuition fee is reasonable, and I don’

t

even have to pay it all at once. This is very important, since my father is not a rich

man. With the deferred payment plan, my father will be able to pay my tuition without

too

much

difficulty.

The

second

reason

is

the

fine

education

I

will

receive

in

management, my chosen field. For some well-known experienced managers are hired

as visiting professors in our university. Moreover, our university requires all students

to gain practical experiences by working in a company.

说话人在论述选择上该大学的原 因时，首先提出论点：

“我选择上该大学出

自两个理由”

，接着列举了学费和教育两个方面，来对该论点进行论证。两个论

据通 过连接短语

first of all

和

the second reason

贯通在一起。

在论证第二方面的原

因时，

又从两方面进行阐述，

即：

该大学管理系聘请了最好 的有经验的管理专家

担任访问教授并为学生求学期间提供实习机会。

Moreover

是连接词，将这两层

意思连接起来。

表示枚举的常见过渡性连接词语有：

first, second, third; in the first place, in the

second place; first of all, first and foremost; to begin with, to start with; for one thing,

for another; also, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what is more; above all;

next; beyond that; initially; eventually, finally, last but not least

等。用枚举法来扩展

话题，可以帮助考生迅速理清思路，同时使 论述的内容层次分明，脉络清楚。

（二）

描

述法

描述 法是话题扩展的一种常用手段，语段描述一般都是描述人、地方或物品

的某个特点，

并且语段的主题句往往表达说话人的总体印象。

请看下面一段人物< /p>

描写：

The most fascinating person I know is Xiaoming, a friend of mine. Xiaoming has

many unusual characteristics you would not guess from his physical appearance. He is

probably the shortest and thinnest man that I know. Nevertheless, he is the best athlete

in our school. Moreover, he is also a wonderful storyteller. He often entertains us for

hours with stories about the interesting things he does and the people he knows. The

most important thing is that he is a person who will not hesitate to help you when you

are in trouble. You will feel how wonderful it is to be one of his friends. I am sure that

you would find him a fascinating person too.

该语段是典型的人物描述，所有的 句子紧紧围绕主题句
