Speaking

Disagree and keep the room

Say it. Nothing is recorded.

This speaking turn is a disagreement that keeps the room. You read the script aloud, then give your own version. Nothing is recorded. Nobody is scoring your voice. Disagree with one part of the proposal, not with the person. Keep the aim you share, name the missing fact, and offer a date. A stack of maybe is not a disagreement. A sentence that calls someone careless ends the room even if your point was right. Read the model first so the date is in your mouth before you build your own turn.

Read the script aloud. Nothing is recorded. Then disagree in your own words. Keep the shared aim, name the missing fact, and offer a date. Do not call anyone careless.

Read this aloud

I see why you want to send the proposal today. I disagree with the date, not with the aim. The trial figure is not on the page yet, and a reader cannot check a blank. If we send it this afternoon, Haeundae Plant will ask for the defect rate and we will look unprepared. I would send it on Thursday, after the June figure is written in. I am not asking the room to drop the switch. I am asking that the page be checkable before it leaves.

A shape that holds

  • I see the aim.
  • I disagree with one part, not with the person.
  • The reason is the missing fact, and here is a date.
  • I am not asking the room to drop the aim.
