托福独立口语不仅考查考生的语言运用能力，还考查考生是否能够运用细节和实例来阐述自己的观点。那么该如何让托福独立口语的答案更充实?

　　一.添加细节和实例

　　托福独立口语第一题要求考生结合具体的例子描述某一熟悉的话题。举例西方人表达观点时常用的手段，那么我们该如何在托福独立口语第一题中有效地列举实例，让答案显得更充实呢?Talk about a sport that you like best. Explain your answer in examples and details.

　　A：I like playing basketball, because it relaxes me and soothes my mood. For example, I often play basketball after a hard day’s study. In that way, I feel much better.

　　B：You know, I like playing basketball, because it not only relaxes me when I jump up and shoot, but also cultivates our team spirit. For example, I often play basketball with my classmates. In that way our class has been strengthened and won a lot of competition together.

　　抛开词汇不谈，单从内容上来看我们会发现A的回答远不如B详细。托福口语的应试原则是越“细”越好，考生回答得越具体、越详细，就越容易得高分。A考生虽然举出篮球的例子，但是并未谈及篮球的明显特质，算不上是细节。B考生在回答时加入了具体的细节，让答案看起来更充实。

　　二.正反两方面论述

　　托福独立口语第二题是“双向选择题”，即要求考生在题目所给的A、B两种观点中选择一种进行辩论：或者让考生选择赞同或反对题目所给的观点，并对自己所选择的观点进行辩论。这道题除了要求考生描述细节外，还对考生的语言和思维能力提出了新的要求。因为该题考查的是考生的辩论能力，所以考生在回答问题时，要从正反两个方面去思考，尽量展示自己逻辑思维的缜密。具体来说，当考生选择支持观点A或者赞同题目所给出的观点时，不能仅仅就A论A或者就“赞同”论“赞同”，而应在论A或者论“赞同”的同时，反驳B观点或者谈论“反对”题目所给观点的后果。

　　Some people prefer to work alone, other prefer to work with others. Which do you prefer? Explain your answer in details.

　　I’m a student, so most work that I do is school related. And I prefer to study alone for the following reasons. First, individual study is much more effective than group study. For example, I can skip content that I’m already familiar with, or spend as much time as needed on things I don’t quite understand. On the other hand, I don't like doing group studies much, because we need time to gather up. It takes time for transportation too. There is a huge chance that the discussion will soon get off the track.

　　题目给出两个观点：一个是喜欢独自工作，一个是喜欢和他人一起工作。要求考生选择其中一种并结合具体的例子进行论述。上面的回答就从正反两方面分别进行了论述，首先从正面说了一下独自工作的好处，然后又从反面说了一下和他人一起工作的坏处，这样就在无形中拓展了思路。
