The group discussion: entering and building

Worked example

"Building on what Priya said about costs - the cheaper option also takes longer, so it may not be cheaper overall" adds a new idea instead of restating hers.

Your practice task

Practise three entry lines and three build-on lines out loud, and record yourself once.

Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.

Key takeaway

In a group discussion you are scored on whether you move the conversation forward, not on how much you say. Enter once with a clear point, then build on somebody else rather than repeating them.
