Communicating e ectively Whenever you don’t understand something, it’s important that you express it so you can communicate eectively with others. Learning to Learn (page 52, activity 1)
You may use these questions to ask for clarification: • What do you mean by...? • Could you say that slowly? • Could you repeat, please? • Could you give us an example? • Could you be more specific, please?
You may use the following strategies to clarify: • Give examples. • Repeat in a slower pace. • Check pronunciation and repeat. • Stress certain words. • Use body language and gestures to explain the meaning of a word.

Describing an activity to be guessed When you prepare material for a guessing game, you don’t want your opponent to guess easily, so… How would you make a description? Start with general aspects and little by little start being more specific: E. g.: • I do this activity in the evening. (many activities are done in the evening) • I don’t use any tools. (many activities don’t need tools to be done) • I do it in the sports center. (we start being specific, we may think of a sport) • I do it with my team. (we can drop out sports that are not played in teams) • I wear a uniform and shin guards. (fewer sports are done using shin guards… Now you can guess, maybe… playing soccer?)
