                 phonic resources used to alter or change the content, since these elements are essential for organizing,
                 conveying and interpreting. Thus, it is important they develop these kinds of details in their discourse, such
                 as volume, pace, intonation, pauses, which have an effect on the addressee.
               • Once they have finished with this activity, one possibility for having a more productive feedback session
                 is to make a tip list with advice on how to use nonverbal language adequately during an exchange. Some
                 pieces of advice are:
                 –  Look the addressee in the eye and avoid distractions.
                 –  Show a relaxed attitude.
                 –  Change the tone if you notice that your addressee is not comfortable.
