Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions. (5 poínts)

Meetíngs can waste a great deal of time. But you can make your meeting run more
smoothly by following a few simple rules. First, have an agenda. This will help keep you focused
on what is important. Next, decide who needs to be involved. More people means less efficient
discussion. Finally, keep the discussion moving. Thank each speaker as he or she finishes and
move on to the next speaker. This encourages people to make their remarks short. And don’t
forget: what happens after a meeting is more important than what happens during the meeting.
The skills used then are more professional and less procedural. So no matter how well you run a
meeting, it is the work that gets done after the meeting that is important.
