首先，思路部分。我注意到很多同学在说雅思口语第三部分的话题的时候，会用到比较多的发散性思维。这其实并不是一件坏事，因为在我们准备口语的过程中，发散性思维可以让我们想到更多的可能性以及更多富有创造力的答案。

但是在考试的情况下，太多的发散性思维，反而会使我们的答案处于一个非常流水账的感觉。意思就是虽然同学们说了非常多的观点，但是并没有就其中任何一个观点进行深入讨论。这样一来，考官就会觉得我们的思路没有深度，我们的答案缺少信度。

我给大家举个例子：比如考官问道：科技给人们的生活带来了怎样的改变How has technology changed our life? 那么很多同学会说：科技改变了我们交流的方式，提高了我们工作的效率，给我们提供了更多娱乐项目等等。虽然看起来思路非常的多，但是同学们并没有深度挖掘，所有答案都只是流于表面，这第一不利于考官去理解你的答案，第二也不利于让我们把答案讲长讲透。

那么我们可以怎么去挖一挖这个话题呢？我们可以选择其中的一个点来进行解释和举例。

比如说我可能会说：I think technology has changed the way of people getting information. In the past, if we want to get updated, we had to set up a time and a place for people to sit down and talk to each other face-to-face to change information. But now with technology we can do it wherever we want and whenever we want. Even during the COVID-19, people can still work remotely or have online classes. 

大家可以看到, 如果我们对其中一个观点进行深入的解释和举例，它的说服力就一下子上去了，这样会显得我们的思路很全面，很具体，考官也更好理解。所以大家在准备口语第三部分的话题的时候，不妨去试一试这样子的垂直思路。

词汇部分

很多同学在雅思口语第三部分会遇到需要表达自己观点，感受和想法的情况。这个时候大家就不免会用到“我认为”来作为开头，但很多同学只能想到 I think ，如果使用的次数过多的话就不免显得重复且单调。那么接下来，我就会给大家带来十五个能够替换 I think 的表达方式，大家可以根据场合或者内容的不同来选择合适的表达方式。
