the language, of being creative and expressing

colorful, or to make a certain kind of impression on other

Discussion

To create an interesting, thorough, and

lively discussion, everyone in the group

must contribute his or her ideas But

speaking isn’t easy for everyone You can

help create a better discussion by asking

other students to offer their ideas Use

expressions to politely encourage other

students to participate in the discussion.
