Example sentence(s):
  • 第二步，进行Brain Storming （头脑风暴）的工作，思考日常生活中经常讨论到的癖好有哪些，各有什么特点，他们代表了什么生活方式，为什么会形成这样的癖好等问题。而这样的思考必须在5分钟内完成，并且在白纸上写下思考的要点。这样做有助于帮助考生打开思路，学会思辨性考虑问题。中国考生在新托福口语和写作考试中遇到的最大问题就是面对提问，自己用中文都不知道怎么表达，其关键原因就在于平时缺乏这样的Brain Storming的训练 - 新东方网站  
  • 现行的许多新教材的主要特点就在于其实用性，注重学生的思维训练和知识的灵活运用，体现了英语学科的工具性。 “头脑风暴”在英语教学中的应用突破了定势思维的限制，它虽然不是发散性思维训练的唯一途径,但它在英语教学中的运用的确起到了拓展学生思维的新奇思路的作用。 - 中国英语教师网  

Explanation:
“集思广益法”是对brainstorming的另外一种诠释，但笔者认为“头脑风暴”这个翻译形象生动，已被广泛接受。
