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 dont ’ 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 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
