Question

A teacher watched the debate between Ren and Polina. Read the description of what he saw.

Ren concentrated intensely on his notepad, furiously writing notes as Polina presented her negative claim.

What would the teacher most likely say to Ren about his listening skills?

Don’t take notes while the other person is speaking.
Don’t look down the entire time the other person is speaking.
Don’t forget to write down everything while the person speaks.
Don’t miss the chance to interject comments while the person speaks.

Answer 1

Don’t look down the entire time the other person is speaking.

(He was staring at his notepad the whole time — the teacher would likely tell him to look up and make eye contact while listening.)
