3.两名考生讨论和解决的问题进行。
实用步骤1:一问一答式的讨论(范例1)
A提问(一句话)——B回答(一句话),阐述理由(两句话),A附和(一句话),阐述理由(两句话)——一B提问(一句话)——A回答(一句话),阐述理由(两句话),B附和(一句话),阐述理由(两句话).——A或B定下决定(一句话)——B 或A支持决定(一句话)。
这种方法思路清晰明确,但切忌回答过于简单。
实用步骤2:各自阐述观点的讨论(范例2)
A阐述观点(一句话)和理由(两句话)——B对A的观点表态(一句话),阐述自己的观点并阐述理由(两句话)——双方讨论,深入阐述本人观点(A,B各两句话)——定下决定(A,B各一句话)。
这种方法适合对问题的辩论。但考生需注意彼此的交流。
