Content Development:

What are question forms

Questions are thus the mediator's primary set of tools for assisting participants
to identify and develop what they view to be their best agreement. All
questions are not, however, created equal. Different question forms may be
utilized to accomplish different purposes in mediation. What follows is a
summary, with samples, of many of the most common mediation questioning
forms.

Example:

The life Changes:

If there's one thing that's inevitable in life, it's change. Sometimes

those changes are small, but every once in awhile they're major — think
marriage, divorce, loss of a loved one, a new job, having children, going back
to school, or buying a house.

Vocabulary:

What is Telling a personal Story

Conversation builder

-Starting the Story:

Something similar happened to me, that reminds me of…, Let me tell you
about..

-Involving the listeners:

You´ll never guess.. (who it was/what happened next/ what she said), Can you
imagine?, But that´s not all.

Saying how you felt:

-It was so…, I fell really…., At first, I felt….

Skill, Showing interest

It is very important to show that you are interested in what your partner is
saying. Use these expressions to show you are interested. Remember! When
we are very interested or surprised our voice is higher and louder.

Good listeners show that they are interested in what someone else is
saying.

-Use short response expressions, such as: Oh, ¡no! Really? Etc…

-Ask Questions about what hapepned.

-Use the correct intonation to show you are interested.

Example:

Normal response

Uh-huh.
That’s interesting.
Oh, I see.
Right.

Stronger response

Really?
Wow! That’s amazing!
That’s incredible!
No way!
You’re joking!

¿Do you understand?

When you are speaking to someone it is important that you understand each
other. If you don’t understand something, ask your partner to explain what
they mean. If they don’t understand you, explain what you mean. Use these
expressions to help you.

When you don’t understand

I don’t understand.
Could you repeat that?
Could you say that again?
What do you mean, exactly?
I’m not sure what you mean.
Can you explain that?

Explain what you mean

What I mean is ...

In other words ...

Remember! You can also use the ideas in When you don't know an exact word.

Comparatives and Superlatives, (not), as…as

Rule

One syllable adjectives generally form the comparative by adding -er and
the superlative by adding -est, e.g. Note that if a one-syllable adjective ends
in a single vowel letter followed by a single consonant letter, the consonant
letter is doubled, e.g. thin - thinner/thinnest, big - bigger/biggest.

One way to describe nouns (people, objects, animals, etc.) is by comparing

them to something else. When comparing two things, you’re likely to use
adjectives like smaller, bigger, taller, more interesting, and less expensive.
Notice the -er ending, and the words more and less. A mistake that both native
speakers and non-native speakers make is using incorrectly formed comparative
adjectives. See the sentences below for an illustration of this common error:

His cat is more large than my dog. (incorrect)

What are useful adjectives

Adjectives are describing words, such as blue, angry, cold, dry and hard.
Technically, an adjective is described as modifying or quantifying a noun or
pronoun, but an easier way to look at the definition of adjectives is that an
adjective tells us more and gives us extra information about something.

Identifying key points

Skill: Identifying key points

-When people speak, listen for the important things they say:

-They usually emphatize the most important ideas.

-After an important idea. They sometimes give an example or more information.

-Find the key words in the questions and listen very carefully when the speaker
talks about them.

What are Sentence Stress:

Words in a sentence are not all given the same salience in oral English. Some
words are picked out and are stressed in contrast to others. The one that is the
most stressed is said to receive the sentence stress. This usually implies
differences in meaning. In the following sentences, the sentence stress is
indicated in bold case. Consider the difference in meaning for each of these
scenarios.

Examples:

What are Vacation Activities:

Vacation, or holiday, is a leave of absence from a regular occupation, or a

specific trip or journey, usually for the purpose of recreation or tourism. People
often take a vacation during specific holiday observances, or for
specific festivals or celebrations. Vacations are often spent
with friends or family.
A person may take a longer break from work, such as a sabbatical, gap year,
or career break.

Vacations activities:

Sunbathe, Visit a museum, go sightseeing, buy souvenirs, rent a car, eat out,
go abroad, stay at a hotel.
