Your partner is taking too long on one prompt and you’d like to move on with the discussion. What do you say?, “That’s interesting, but maybe we should move on so we can cover everything.” “Shall we move on to the next one?”, Your partner is very quiet and hasn’t said much during the task. What do you say to encourage them?, “What do you think about this prompt?” “Do you have anything to add?”, You strongly disagree with your partner’s opinion on one prompt, but you want to stay polite. What do you say?, “I see what you mean, but I think…” “I’m not sure I agree. What about…?”, Time is almost up for the 2-minute discussion and you still have two prompts left. What do you say?, “We only have about one minute left. Shall we look at the other prompts quickly?”, You think one prompt is not very relevant or useful and want to skip it quickly. What do you say?, “I’m not sure about this one. Shall we skip it and move on?”, You and your partner have different opinions and can’t agree on which option is best. What do you say?, “We have different opinions on this. Shall we agree to disagree and choose another option?”, Your partner keeps repeating the same idea. You want to move the conversation forward. What do you say?, “I think we’ve covered this point well. What about the next one?”, You want to start the 1-minute decision-making phase. What do you say?, “Shall we start deciding now?” “So, which one do you think is the best?”, Your partner misunderstood the task and is talking about something completely different. What do you say to get back on track?, “Sorry, could we go back to the main question? I think we should focus on…”, You have a good idea for the next prompt but your partner is still speaking about the previous one. What do you say?, “Sorry to interrupt, but I had an idea about the next prompt…”, Your partner speaks too fast and you didn’t understand their last point. What do you say?, “Sorry, could you say that again? I didn’t catch the last part.”, You both agree on the first three prompts very quickly and need to discuss the remaining ones in more detail. What do you say?, “We’ve agreed on these quickly. Shall we spend more time on the last two?”, The examiner is watching and you want to show good teamwork by involving your partner more. What do you say?, “What do you think we should choose for this one?” / “I’d like to hear your opinion on this.”, You feel the discussion is going off-topic. What do you say to refocus?, “Coming back to the main question, I think…”, You want to summarise what you have discussed so far before moving to the decision. What do you say?, “So, to sum up, we both think… Shall we now decide which is the best option?”
