TIPS
1. Start by paraphrasing the question in the box. Don’t read out the question.
2. Always refer directly to your colleague’s last opinion/statement, answer his or her question, react
to their opinion, etc.
3. Try to be natural. Avoid staged discussions with an assumed result.
4. Negotiate the order.
5. Avoid launching into a monologue. Ask and answer each other’s questions. Focus on one aspect
of an argument at a time.
6. The aim of the discussion is to come to a common (at least partially) conclusion. It is welcome if
you do come to a common conclusion, but it is not obligatory.
7. The goal of the task is achieved if you discuss all the factors in detail and come up with the
list/order.
