College group discussion in English with Hindi meanings
Group project mein suggestion dein, politely disagree karein aur kaam baantein. College ki English baat-cheet ki practice karein.
What you will practice
Aap group discussion mein ek idea, uska reason aur doosre option par polite response de sakenge.
College discussion mein sabse zyada bolna hi goal nahi hai. Ek saaf idea dein, doosron ki baat sunein aur next step decide karein. Apne idea ke saath ek reason bhi batayein.
Is dialogue mein 2 classmates apne ilaake mein kachra kaise uthaya jaata hai, is par presentation plan kar rahe hain. Dhyaan dein ki woh suggestions kaise dete hain aur kaam kaise baantte hain.
Idea ke saath reason aur sawaal jodein
Discussion mein pehle apna idea batayein, phir kyun useful hai uska ek reason dein. Aakhir mein group ki opinion poochhein. Isse doosron ko aapke idea par response dena aasaan hota hai.
Suggestion ke liye we could, let us ka short form let's, ya how about use kar sakte hain. We could ke baad verb ka basic form aata hai; how about ke baad activity ke liye -ing form use hoti hai.
Disagree karte hue discussion aage badhayein
Kisi ke idea se disagree karte hue bhi unki izzat rakh sakte hain. Pehle batayein ki aapne unki baat samjhi. Phir problem aur doosra option batayein. Sirf galat hai kehne se next step clear nahi hota.
Kaam baantte waqt confirm karein ki kaun kya karega aur kab tak karega. Kisi cheez ko lekar sure nahi hain toh poochhein. Jitna kaam kar sakte hain, utna hi promise karein.
