Respecting Other Views

What are we learning today?

You will be able to ask for an opinion and accept a different view politely.

Explanation

• People like different things.
• Ask for an opinion and listen to the reason.
• Give your view politely.
• Accept a different view. Do not say "That is stupid."
• Some words differ too. American English says soccer for British football.

Examples

1. What do you think of cricket?
2. I'd like to do the hammer throw because it is exciting. What about you?
3. I wouldn't like to do boxing because it is hard.
4. That's interesting. I see.

Remember!

• Your partner may choose another sport. That is fine.

Check yourself
