试想一下这样的场景，老外问你“Do you like animal?”(你喜欢动物吗？），你除了回答“Yes,I do.”（是的，我喜欢啊。）之后就无话可说了？
这样的情景有可能是聊天也有可能是口语考试，好了，每一次的话题的聊天都可以充分锻炼并展示你的发音、语法水平以及词汇的丰富性，不要放过这样的机会，比如动物这个话题，不要简单的说是或否，试试下面我跟你说的切题拓展法则。
你可以这样有效拓展：哪种动物你觉得最有趣？你在哪里看见它的？为什么你觉得这种动物有趣？
看，是不是有很多可说的。
You can say:
what animal it was
where you saw it
what happened when you saw it
and explain why you thought it was interesting
好的，组织一下语言，说吧.
举个例子：
Right, I"m going to talk about an interesting bird, which is called penguin.
这里的 I"m going to talk about。。。就是我们中文里经常讲的“我来讲一讲。。。”，不过，要注意地道英语要使用一般将来时，语法虽然简单，用的对才叫地道。
As a matter of fact, I went to the zoo a while ago and saw real-life penguins.
real-life penguins“活的企鹅”，你在其他场合都可以使用这个，比如看见了某个明星大腕。
The zoo was located in downtown Beijing. Penguins are naturally wild animals so it was a real treat to see one.
注意：a real treat 真正特别快乐的事情
Also,penguins don"t seem to mind people staring at them.
One fact that particularly amazes me is that penguins prefer cooler temperatures.
注意：One fact that particularly amazes me is。。。这个句式要表达的就是
“让我特别惊奇的一件事是。。。”
This is why the zoo keeps penguins in an air-conditioned environment.
Speaking of the reasons I"ve chosen to talk about penguins instead of some of the other animals,the most obvious one is I am a real big penguin fan.
注意：Speaking of the reasons 。。。这个句式要表达的就是“谈到。。。的原因”的意思
So it was no surprise that when I first spotted the cute animals I screamed and ran up to the glass window.
注意：it was no surprise that。。。 。。。这个句式是说“。。。没什么好奇怪的”
The penguins looked at me and I thought they smiled and then ran off to catch up with their friends.
Though they are birds, penguins have flippers instead of wings.
They can"t fly on land. Instead, they waddle while walking upright, which is real cute.
Anyway, the whole experience was interesting because I saw with my own eyes how penguins live and interact with others.
怎么样？通过上述例子，加以练习，一旦你掌握了是适当拓展法则，你会发现开口说英语其实没有你想像的那么难，对了，要记住使用正确的时态哦。
