当面试官要求您详细回答一些事情时，您应察觉第二部分已经开始了。通常题目会是关于您的兴趣，您的工作和您的学业。您也许会被问及一件事的过程，一件物件如何运作或一项游戏的规则等等。想在第二阶段有好的表现，您应该能做到以下几点：
1）不需面试官太多提示而流利地讲出个人见解；
2）能流利解释，描述或说明一件事情的发生；
3）表现出您愿意讨论这个题目，就算您对它不熟悉，您也可围绕着这个题目发挥。
应做和不应做的事
应做的事
1）开始回答时，先表示自己对题目的看法；
2）您起码要想到至少两个值得讨论的要点；
3）在正式开始讲解前，先说明您会提到的要点；
4）对不认识的题目，您可尝试猜测。用“maybe”,“perhaps”等字会比什么也不说好。
不应做的事
1）不要说您不懂这个题目或您从来未想过这些事情；
2）当您听不明白问题时，不用担心，您可要求面试官重覆一次；
3）不要离题。否则面试官会以为您听不明白题目；
4）不要等面试官问问题，要表现出您有能力讨论题目而不需任何提示帮助。
