EXP---采用慢速，两个较为深入的观点即可满足要求.宁愿有条理（well organized）的提前结束观点（此时可以加入一些总结性的话，well ,that `s all about it），也不极为吃紧的结束/甚至未能完成回答.万一提前几秒钟回答完毕，可以做一总结性的陈述。

不要慌乱而引入了新的观点，比如waht`s more,而要告诉他们我已经从容的答好了。

根据经验，总结性的陈述一定放在最后，这样在充分背完出彩的小点后，还能博得加分，至少不至于因为乱了分寸丢分。

To sum up 要充分信任自己准备已久的小点并坚决使用，而不是自己临场发挥的实力首先构思结构，或递进式，或正反式。

其次列出提纲，找到两点突破口。
