IV. Ways to extend your answer
1. Frequency
Các trạng từ chỉ tần suất như: often, sometimes, usually, never, rarely, always, seldom,… giúp câu được
nhấn mạnh hơn, rõ ý hơn.
“What do you do in your free time?”
Short answer: I watch TV and play computer games.

Longer answer: I usually watch TV and play computer games, but sometimes I go out for a drink with
my friends.
2. Give xample
Real life examples are always the easiest things to talk about because you can talk about them naturally
and in more detail.
“Do you get along with your brothers?”
Short answer: No, we’re not in to the same things.
Longer answer: No, we’re not in to the same things, like when we are both watching TV we always
fight about what show to watch.
3. Compare
You might be asked a question where you have to talk about your opinion or another person’s opinion.
Use ‘even so’ or ‘although’ to show that you have considered both sides.
Is your hometown a nice place for tourists to visit?
Short answer: Yes, it has a really nice beach.
Longer answer: Yes, it has a really nice beach, although it is getting really busy these days, so it’s not as
pristine as it used to be.
4. Feelings and Opinions
You can easily extend your answer by saying how you feel about the question you were just asked. It
will also make your answer more interesting.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Short answer: ‘I like shopping.’
Longer answer: ‘I like shopping because I love trying on new clothes and I always feel more confident
when I’m wearing a new outfit.
5. Using tenses
- Past Comparisons
You can talk about what you ‘used to’ do and how that has changed now in the present.
Do you play sport?
Short answer: I play football.
Longer answer: I used to love basketball, but now I play football more because that’s what my friends
are in to.
- Future
If something will change in the future, you can use one of the future structures, like ‘will’ or ‘be +
going to’.
Do you work or study?
Short answer: I’m at university at the moment.
Longer answer: I’m at university at the moment, but I’m graduating next year and I will hopefully get a
job in advertising.
6. Reasons
Reasons can strengthen your answers and help explain your logic. If you’ve got an opinion or an idea,
supporting it with a reason will make it much stronger, and make your answer longer, too. You can say
things like: because, as, due to, since
Who do you get on best within your family?
Short answer: My mother
Long answer: It’s hard to say, because we’re all so close. I guess I probably get on best with my
mother, as we are the most alike. We’re both very chatty and warm people.
7. Conjunctions
Conjunctions are useful and simple to use. Conjunctions hook up words functionally, and help to
combine ideas together with ease. There are tons of conjunctions: and, or, but, so, yet, (al)though,
(rather) than, as long as
Who do you live with?
Short answer: I live with my parents and my older brother right now.
Long answer: I live with my parents and my older brother right now. My brother is getting married next
month, so his new wife will soon be moving in with us as well.
