大部分雅思考生在面对雅思口语考试时，最怕的是无话可说。笔者在教学中经常碰到学生会抱怨自己看到口语考题，通常连中文都想不到怎么说，就算说了，也肯定逻辑混乱，更何况用英文来表达自己了。其实在这里考生的忧虑完全是可以通过训练克服的，下面笔者就介绍如何用举例法来拓展口语话题。

首先介绍下举例说明的常用表达：

For example,…

For instance,…

Just as…

Such as…

在part1考官问题时，考生在给出回答后，通常后面需要再给出原因进一步解释，但大部分考生在这一环节上会卡壳，不知道怎么继续下去。可以尝试举例法，该法很简单，如果是肯定的回答，后面可以加上自己好的经历体验；如果是否定的回答，此法一样可适用，只需要后面加上自己不好的经历体验即可。下面就以part1中的museum话题卡为例：

Q：Do you often visit museums?

A:  I’m afraid not(先正面回答）. I remember when I was a kid, my parents once took me to a local history museum. I felt quite boring and almost felt asleep. So since then, I never go there again(给出自己不好的经历体验加以解释）.

Or A: Definitely(正面回答）. I remember when I was at primary school, my head teacher took us to a technological museum. It was quite an eye-opening trip. Variety of technological devices of imagination and creativity. It was that trip that made me fall in love with museums (给出自己好的经历体验加以解释）.

Example 2: What do you think of early rising?

A: I suppose early rising helps us in our studies. Take me as an example, I find it is easier to remember English vocabulary in the morning than in the afternoon. 

Furthermore, early rising enables us to plan the work of the day. We cannot work well without a good plan. When I was a kid, my grandparent often told me that the plan of the whole year should be made in the spring, so the plan for the day should be made in the morning.
