学生在雅思口语考试中不必要使用自己无法驾驭的复杂句和从句。事实上，欧美人士在平时交流中也不经常使用复杂的句子结构，因此考生们只需要表达清楚自己的意思即可，而不要因为害怕自己的表达能力不够完美而不敢开口说话。对于part 1而言，一般来说每个问题说个3、4句话即可，并不要求学生一下子展示出很强的扩展能力，这部分主要留到第3部分再表现和出彩。 我们举一个近期经常考到的话题来做part 3的扩展：A book you read when you were a child。与这个话题相关的part 3扩展问题可以有很多，比如What are the ways should parents use to make them like reading- What books do Chinese kid read- What are the differences between traditional reading and online reading- What are the advantages and disadvantages of reading and watching TV- 等等。事实上，这些问题也许看起来有些无从下手，但考官对考生的考察并不是针对考生所表达的内容，而是他们应用英语来表达自己意思的能力与方式。
举例而言，关于“What are the ways should parents use to make them like reading-”这个问题：当考官向学生提出这个问题之后，可能一下子想不起来很多想说的东西，例如只想起来一点，“①The parents could use interesting materials, such as fairy tales or short stories with beautiful illustration pictures, to inspire their children to start reading.”在构思和表达这个句子的期间，考生可以尽量快速地在脑子内构思其他的几点，比如说“②Parents could read interesting stories to their children, which could gradually encourage the kids to adopt the habits of reading .”一旦想到第二点之后，不要着急开始阐述，这时候最好先尽量充实第一点的内容，打造出整体叙述内容和表达既准确又充实的印象，同时又为自己营造出宝贵的时间，从而进一步构思下一步的表达。在阐述第1点的时候，可以讲一些“看似”无关，但实际上又可以充实语言内容并进行详细解释的话语。例如在第①点中，可以解释采用带插图的书籍的益处：“Considering the focus periods for little kids are usually quite short, beautiful pictures could be a good way to attractive their attention and help them to understand the storyline. This kind of books could effectively inspire them to cultivate their own interest in reading. Actually, I myself started reading through this kind of method, which I'd like to say, worked out pretty well.”通过这样的论述，既可以通过展开和解释来扩展一个思路点，又可以为论述的下一点赢得时间。至于第②点的内容，同学们可以自己进行练习，自己主动地训练扩展表达能力。
