思路,就是“从哪几个方面展开”,一般我们建议以三点展开为宜。以“Describe a person who has helped you to make an important decision”这个题目为例,展开话题的思路可以是:1. 他所给予的帮助是什么;2. 我最后是如何决定的;3. 我的这个决定带来了什么样的结果。
语言,就是能够精准体现思路和逻辑的表达方式。上例可以用到的表达方式有:a dilemma that I was facing; a tough choice between... ; in the end, I decided to do... ; and in hindsight, it was definitely the right thing to do.
当然,不同话题的思路、逻辑、例证自然不同,考生需从“Describe a time when you were stuck in a traffic jam" 至“Describe a newspaper or a magazine that you recently bought”一个一个去准备。
