聯(lián)想法則一：朋友家人交際圈
    不論什么話題，當(dāng)我們被問(wèn)到自己所喜愛(ài)的東西或是對(duì)自己的影響時(shí)，我們都可以使用這一法則，把自己的家人、朋友、同事、老板、老師、鄰居等應(yīng)用起來(lái)，擴(kuò)大自己答題的內(nèi)容和涉及的范圍。例如，當(dāng)我們被問(wèn)到：What kind of books do you like? 很多考生覺(jué)得只要回答完書(shū)的種類(lèi)即可。其實(shí)，我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，只回答書(shū)的種類(lèi)也就只有一句話，沒(méi)有什么可以繼續(xù)的了。考官對(duì)于一句話答題的考生是不看好的，無(wú)法給出高分。那么，我們完全可以把自己周?chē)慕浑H圈全部列出來(lái)，這個(gè)題目可以這樣回答：
    Well, I like novels best. When I was in high school, my Chinese teacher told me novels were helpful to improve my reading skill and writing skill, and it’s a good way to enjoy the leisure time. Then I began to read novels. I found it really interesting and helpful. My best friend and I always discuss the books together to understand the novels and the author’s background.
    再來(lái)看下面的例子，
    What are the benefits of reading magazines?
    思路受限的答案：
    I think reading magazines can help me to know more knowledge. I like reading magazines.
    補(bǔ)充以上答案：
    Reading magazines is a good way to kill time. I can see the pictures of fashionable clothes and cosmetics, and I can know some information of sports, cars or some other things. My sister and I both like collecting magazines, so we always exchange them and read. It’s quite interesting.
    聯(lián)想法則二：回憶過(guò)去展望未來(lái)
    對(duì)于一些題目，我們可以用過(guò)去與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行對(duì)比，若只講現(xiàn)在，大家可能會(huì)覺(jué)得沒(méi)有話說(shuō)，但是一旦對(duì)比著講，我們就發(fā)現(xiàn)思路多了。此外，展望未來(lái)也可以解決話題內(nèi)容少的問(wèn)題?？聪旅娴睦樱?BR>    Describe an electric equipment.
    這個(gè)話題我們不妨講家用電器：空調(diào)。但是，很多同學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)空調(diào)沒(méi)有什么細(xì)節(jié)可說(shuō)，那么我們可以針對(duì)其使用電能、較環(huán)保這個(gè)點(diǎn)來(lái)描述，這個(gè)特點(diǎn)比起過(guò)去來(lái)說(shuō)，是一大進(jìn)步，所以我們可以在答案中增加這一部分：
    In the past, people used the coal for heating, which produced a great amount of air pollution. When we use air-conditioner, we do not have to worry that in winter, we create much greenhouse gas. We just use the electricity which is environmental-friendly.
    還有一個(gè)例子，是問(wèn)學(xué)生What do you think are the benefits brought by technology for us? 我們可以把將來(lái)的展望加入到答案中。
    思路受限的答案：
    We have a lot of benefits, for example, the technology has created the computer, so we can surf online for information and entertainment.
    補(bǔ)充以上答案：
    I strongly believe that technology will increasingly make our life more relaxed and easy. Now we are using robots as the new inventions to release labor. I think in the future, robots will be popularized to every family to wash dishes, do cleaning, remind our schedule and arrangements and be friends to us. It’s promising thought.
    聯(lián)想法則三：制造場(chǎng)景發(fā)揮想象
    在回答口語(yǔ)話題時(shí)，我們可以自己制造一個(gè)場(chǎng)景，充分發(fā)揮自己的想象力，為考官編織一個(gè)有趣的答案。即使這個(gè)答案是空想出來(lái)的，只要有趣、有畫(huà)面感，同樣可以打動(dòng)考官。比如說(shuō)，What would you buy when you have a lot of money?
    思路受限的答案：
    I want to buy an island. I think it’s interesting. I will build the house there and my family all live in it and enjoy our life.
    補(bǔ)充以上答案：
    When I was a child, I read a fairy tale that there was a castle on an island. The families enjoyed their life on it. There were trees and flowers all around the island, and human did not have to eat. They were just singing songs and dancing to the music. I would like to buy an island of this kind and all my family can live there.
    通過(guò)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)的場(chǎng)景，我們描繪出一幅生動(dòng)而美麗的畫(huà)面，這樣考官會(huì)很享受與我們交流，而不是在聽(tīng)千篇一律的枯燥答案。
    綜上所述，我們?cè)诨卮鹧潘伎谡Z(yǔ)話題時(shí)，把答案盡量延展出來(lái)，不要拘泥于回答問(wèn)題的框架，而是盡量延伸，把家人朋友等聯(lián)系起來(lái)、把現(xiàn)在的情況與過(guò)去和將來(lái)進(jìn)行對(duì)比并努力為自己的答案創(chuàng)造更豐富的場(chǎng)景，這樣我們就不用擔(dān)心回答的內(nèi)容單一和枯燥了。
