有四种比较常见的展开方式能够帮助大家快速构思出足够的内容说满45秒种，具体如下：讲道理、举例子、作对比、给数据。
其中“讲道理”是同学们最常用的展开方式，就事论事就题论题，但是能说出来的内容量不可控，容易出现说到一半无法继续的情况。
“举例子”并不真正需要背很多实际的例子，比如Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs等等。一是范围庞大，浪费时间，二是容易因为内容解释不清或者有偏差而外增加被扣分的原因。只要找到一个常用的对象去履行“例子”的内容即可。
“作对比”是最推荐的展开方式，是最好用也学的最快的方式。学生可以养成习惯，在每道题中寻找对比点，如果“选这项”和“不选这项”对比、“同意”和“不同意”对比、“选前者”和“选后者”对比等等，一旦找到对比点，就不愁内容不够说满45秒了。
“给数据”是能够锦上添花的展开方式，在以上方式已运用的基础上，加数据以支持，论点更加强有力。
为了让大家更好的理解以上的方法论，特奉上以下例题：
Some people have one career throughout their lives. Other people do different kinds of work at different points in their lives. Which do you think is better? Explain why.
Sample Answer:
I think having one career throughout one’s life is way better than doing different jobs at different points in his life.(点题)
because he has a chance to be the expert in his field and be respected.(理由)
For example, my father changed his job every 2 to 3 years, but he only got to do all the entry-level tasks, and hardly mastered any key skills, so he kept getting replaced.(举例，对比正方+数据)
By contrast, my mother has been a dentist for 30 years and nobody can ever replace her. (举例，对比反方+数据)
熟练掌握这四个方法，不愁独立口语的45秒不知怎么说好。
另外有一则好消息，针对托福备考，
