2. Taking part in discussion
Участие в обсуждении доклада
А. Improve your Communication Skill
Развивайте свое умение общаться
The art of effective dialogue lies
in the ability to disagree without
being disagreable.
Do not interrupt other speakers. Show courtesy to the speaker – refrain from private conversation. Avoid expressions that arouse hostility (even though you will encounter differences of opinion).
Be frank and honest, but avoid emotionally tinged words and expressions that create unnecessary opposition.
