首先是“直接回答”，是指針對考官的提問直接正面回答，切忌兜圈子和回避考官問題。接下來，我們要針對回答進行解釋，給出原因。很多同學面對熟悉的話題很容易想到原因，但是如果是日常生活中很少接觸的事物，則會沒有頭緒。出現這種狀況的原因是大家往往傾向于從事物本身的特點出發(fā)想原因，參見以下例子：（請注意黑體字因果邏輯連接詞的替換）：

　　I’m quite into music for the reason that it never fails to cheer me up。

　　I love my name coz it makes people easily remember me。

　　I enjoy playing computer games as it’s really fun and it’s a great way to loosen up。

　　從這個角度出發(fā)想原因并沒錯，但是當這條路走不通的時候，可以從其他角度發(fā)散思維。例如回想一下自己以往好的或者糟糕的經歷，參考以下例子：

　　I can’t stand public transportation coz every time I take a bus or subway， especially during rush hours， it’s packed like sardines and I feel like I’m going to die。

　　Swimming would be the last thing （that） I want to do。 And as I see it， it’s mainly because once I almost drowned in a river when I was little。 It was so horrible。

　　其次可以想想身邊人對你的影響，參考以下例子：

　　I’m a big fan of classical music thanks to my mom， who used to put on some music by Beethoven or Schubert at home when I was a kid。

　　I find it great to ride bicycles thanks to my bestie， Lily， who is a super fan of cycling。 Actually， she always invites me to some local cycling events and gradually it’s become a necessary part of my life as well。

　　總結一下，當剛剛聽到問題沒有思路時，可以從以下幾個方面來找靈感：事物本身特點、自己過去經歷（開心的/不開心的）、其他人的影響。這樣可以幫助我們大大提高流利度。

　　最后，補充一些細節(jié)來支撐剛剛給出的原因。不知道如何給具體例子的烤鴨們，李雙老師建議參考“個人習慣句型”I mean/Actually/In fact/For example， what， who， when， where， why。

　　下面我們通過Part 1和Part 3兩道例題，再來完整回顧一下“直接回答-給原因-給細節(jié)”這個法則。

　　Part 1例題：What’s your favorite part of your country？

　　I definitely think the food culture is the best part of my country。 （直接作答）I mean， China never fails to satisfy all peoples’ needs for tasty food。 （給原因）Although sometimes the way we make food is not that healthy， I still think it’s an ideal place for foodies for the reason that it has a lot to offer， from spicy food to light-cooked food to various kinds of dessert。（給細節(jié)）

　　有時“給原因”和“給細節(jié)”的順序可以靈活調整，參考下面Part 3部分的一道例題：Are science museums popular in China？

　　Definitely！ Science museums are popular among not only science buff but also people who are not that crazy about science （直接作答）。 Actually， no matter it’s during the weekdays or on the weekends， science museums are always busy and full of visitors （給細節(jié)）。 As I see it， it’s mainly because the exhibitions/displays in those science museums enable people to enhance their knowledge about S&T in an interactive and vivid way （給原因）。
