Answer the group’s actual question
- A group task may ask you to compare choices, agree on a recommendation or identify an unresolved concern. Check which response is required before preparing an opinion.
- Interaction includes listening and responding. A long monologue or a fixed speaking schedule does not by itself show a useful contribution or establish a mark.
回答小组的实际问题
- 小组任务可能要求你比较选项、达成推荐意见或识别未解决的顾虑。在准备观点前,先确认需要哪种回应。
- 互动包括倾听和回应。长篇独白或固定的发言时间表本身并不能显示有效的贡献或确立分数。
Disagree with a reason
- Acknowledge the relevant point, then explain the limit: “Quietness matters, but ten people cannot fit the eight-place room.” Respectful disagreement can advance a decision.
- Do not treat a classmate’s concern as a personal fault. Ask a specific question if the evidence or intended meaning is unclear.
反驳某个理由
- 承认相关要点,然后解释限制:“安静很重要,但十个人无法挤进八人房。” 尊重的反对可以推动决策。
- 不要把同学的顾虑当作个人过错。如果证据或意图不明确,请提出具体问题。
Which disagreement keeps the discussion going? · 哪一种反对能让讨论继续下去?
It concedes something, then narrows the claim — which gives the other speaker somewhere to go. · 它先承认一部分,再缩小对方的论断范围——这样对方才有话可接。
Support a claim at the right strength
- Support a claim 支持观点 with a reason and relevant evidence 证据. One person’s experience can illustrate an issue without proving what everybody prefers.
- Explain how the evidence bears on the task. A twelve-place room answers a ten-person capacity constraint; “everyone likes it” needs different evidence.
以恰当力度支持主张
- Support a claim 支持观点需搭配理由和相关的 evidence 证据。一个人的经历可以说明问题,但不能证明每个人的偏好。
- 解释证据如何关联任务。十二人房可解决十人容量的限制;“大家都喜欢它”则需要不同的证据。
Which of these is an argument rather than an opinion? · 下面哪一句是论证,而不是观点?
It gives a reason and a concrete example. The others assert without support. · 它给出了理由和具体例子。其余几句只是断言,没有支撑。
Keep a recommendation distinct from permission
- A consensus 共识 is an agreement the group accepts. Check it explicitly; silence, a draft preference or an unanswered proposal is not a confirmed group decision.
- State remaining checks: the exact meeting time or booking permission may still be pending. An available room is not automatically a completed booking.
将建议与许可区分开
- A consensus 共识是小组接受的一致意见。需明确确认;沉默、草案倾向或未回复的提议并非已确认的小组决定。
- 列出待办事项:确切会议时间或预订许可可能仍待定。有可用房间并不自动等于已完成预订。
Put a strong contribution in order. · 把一段有力的发言排序。
The last step is what separates a speech from a contribution to a discussion. · 最后一步,正是"发言"与"对讨论作出贡献"的区别所在。
Invite, respond and record
- Refer to what another student said and invite a meaningful response: “Dan, would this option address your concern?” Respond to the answer instead of returning to an unrelated script.
- Summarise the proposed decision, reasons and unresolved checks, then ask whether the group agrees. Record an objection honestly rather than reporting agreement that was never confirmed.
邀请、回应并记录
- 引用另一位学生的发言并邀请有意义的回应:“Dan, would this option address your concern?” 针对答案进行回应,而不是回到无关的脚本上。
- 总结拟议的决定、理由和未解决的检查项,然后询问小组是否同意。如实记录反对意见,而非报告从未确认过的同意。
Speaking for most of a group discussion guarantees useful interaction. · 在小组讨论中占据大部分时间就能保证产生有效互动。
The amount of speech alone does not show listening, relevant responses or room for others. Check the quality and purpose of the contributions. · 单纯发言量多少并不能反映倾听能力、相关回应或为他人留出的空间。应关注发言的质量与目的。
Which moves bring another student into the discussion? Choose all that apply. · 哪些做法能把其他同学带入讨论?选出所有正确项。
Refer to a classmate’s relevant point and ask for a meaningful response. A name alone does not prove listening; respond to what they actually say. · 引用同学的相关观点并寻求有意义的回应。仅提及姓名并不代表你在倾听;应对他们实际所说的内容作出反应。
Write one sentence that summarises a group decision and checks everyone agrees. · 写一句话,总结小组的决定并确认大家是否同意。
Example: "So we agree on the phone, with the laptop second — is that right?" Summarise, then check. · 例如:“So we agree on the phone, with the laptop second — is that right?” 先小结,再确认。
A useful contribution responds to the task and other speakers. Check group agreement and pending permission before recording a decision.
有效的贡献应回应任务并关注其他发言者。在录制决定前,请检查小组共识及待批准事项。
Contribution: “The library is quiet, but it has eight places for ten people. Could we recommend classroom 204 and check the booking steps? Dan, would that address your concern?” This proposes a choice without inventing consensus or a booking.
贡献示例:“图书馆很安静,但只有十个座位中的八个位置。我们能否推荐204教室并核实预订步骤?丹,这样能解决你的顾虑吗?”此建议提出了选择方案,而非凭空捏造共识或虚构预订。
