1. When you are asked to give the feedback for presentation, you should check the following parts: persuasiveness, creativity, logicality, or expressiveness.

PART B_2

A: Hi, Carol. Have you finished reading the presentation materials? Would you give me some feedback on my presentation?
B: Sure. They are mostly good.
A: I wonder whether my logic is correct and persuasive. Would you let me know your opinion?
B: Your reasoning is convincing enough and the introduction and conclusion are quite easy to understand. There is probably room for improvement in the order of the support messages. Changing the order of some contents would make your presentation clearer.
A: That sounds a nice idea, thank you. How about creativity?
B: Your solution is very unique. It only remains for you to talk with confidence, which helps your opinion to be powerful.
A: I’m glad you say that. I’ll do my best. Thank you for your advice!

PART A_1

First, we will check the points in this lesson. Please repeat after me.

PART A_2

1. When trying to delicately answer a question, instead of replying on Yes/No, use “I’m afraid not,” or “I’m afraid so.”

B: I’m sorry, but that’s correct.
A: And you can’t currently offer any special deals?
B: Not at the moment, no. It really is the low end of the market price, and as a vendor, we really can’t go lower.
