在雅思口语考试中， 但凡你陈述的观点都需要进一说明，这个说明可以是：原因，解决方案或者是推断过程等等。举个例子：
I don’t think people should automatically be entitled to three holidays a year. [END]
如果这样草草收尾可不行。你需要进一步例证你的观点：
I don’t think people should automatically be entitled to three holidays a year, because companies may need their labour. As I see it, two holidays a year is acceptable, with any additional days off acting as an incentive for overtime.
下面是陈述观点和例证观点的技巧总结：
Expressing Opinions
Justifying Opinions
我们用下面的例子来进一步巩固：
原句：
Personally, I agree with something my friend told me years ago – only boring people get bored. After all, there’s no point in travelling abroad if everything is the same as in your home country.
扩展：
Personally, I agree with something my friend told me years ago – only boring people get bored. After all, there’s no point in travelling abroad if everything is the same as in your home country. The whole point of an international education is to learn something about the world, to see how about people live.
原句：
It can be quite exciting to discover some of the cultural differences between nations anyway.

It can be quite exciting to discover some of the cultural differences between nations anyway. For example, I’ve never heard of people cooking food under the earth before like they do with a hangi.

扩展：
I don’t really think much of the food though – it’s a little too greasy for me.
原句：
I much prefer food from my own country.
扩展：
I much prefer food from my own country, but I guess that’s mostly because it’s what I’ve grown up with, what I’ve become accustomed to.
原句：
Overall, though, I’ve really enjoyed the experience here.
扩展：
Overall, though, I’ve really enjoyed the experience here. Of course, I’ve learned better English from being here, but I also feel I’ve become more mature and have a more open-minded view of the world.
趁热打铁，我们做个小练习——进一步陈述下列观点。
1 New Zealand is a great place to study.
2 There is so much to do.
3 There are a lot of international students, especially in the major cities like Auckland and Christchurch, which can sometimes make it difficult to practise your English.
4 My advice would be to live in a homestay – that’s the best way to improve.
5 Some international students think that New Zealand is boring.
1 New Zealand is a great place to study. As an English-speaking country with some well-known universities, you can get a good education here.
2 There is so much to do – it’s the home of so many extreme sports, such as bungy jumping and skydiving
3 There are a lot of international students, especially in the major cities like Auckland and Christchurch, which can sometimes make it difficult to practise your English. I often find myself spending the evenings talking to friends in my language!
4 My advice would be to live in a homestay – that’s the best way to improve. That way everything has to be in English, and you find yourself learning so much more because it’s almost 24 hours a day.
5 Some international students think that New Zealand is boring. I think that’s probably because they are so used to cities where entertainment is laid on every night, they don’t really need to think about entertaining themselves.
