18. Exchange your cards and offer your teammates suggestions to improve theirs.

• Consider that you are not supposed to read from the cards, but use them as an aid
during the round-table.

19. Listen to Track 52.
TRACK 52
• Answer the following questions. session 7

» Who is Samara? Why is she the first
to speak? What role does she play in
the round-table?

» Who is Laura?

» Are the speed and volume of her » Why does she thank Samara?
voice adequate? Why?

» What suggestions can you give » What role does Laura play? Acoustic features
Samara to improve her intervention?

» Are her speed and volume adequate? Why?

20. Exchange opinions about what Samara and Laura could do to improve their
interventions. Look at the example.

Example: I believe that Samara should invite the panelists to
speak in a more formal way. Instead of saying, “Your
turn, Laura,” she could say, “Laura, you may start
with your intervention.”

You’re right; it’s a formal event. Besides, she should welcome
the audience and present the topic of the round-table. She
should also introduce herself and the panelists.
