主席帶動討論

Asking people to move forward:

1.      People who learn most always sit in the front of the room.  If you would like to join us for a symposium in the front of the room, you are more than welcome to come forward. 

2.      The room appears to be larger than our needs.  So, let』s all move to the front of the room to be closer to the speakers.

3.      For those of you standing in the rear, there are still some seats available here in front.  Please come forward and be seated.

4.      It feels like we should have booked a larger room for today』s discussion.  But as it stands now, let』s all move forward a bit and give the people in the back some room to join our discussion.

Inviting opinions:

1.      It was argued that customers usually don』t like to pay high prices.  Mr. Reading, would you elaborate on this observation?

2.      The point was raised that we need a new and lower speed limit on the freeway.  Mr. Rowe, could you clarify this point?

3.      It is generally felt that inflation is aggravating our social problems.  How do you feel about that, Mr. South?

4.      It is suggested that the contract be canceled.  Mr. Simmons, how do you think we should treat it?

5.      It is generally acknowledged that business is still good.  What is your feeling about that evaluation, Mr. Powers?

6.      Mr. Story, what is your expectation for the economic situation next year?

7.      Mr. Rogers, would you summarize your findings?

8.      Mr. Holmes, you have another point to make, I think.

9.      It is thought that the best way to tackle the problem is to increase production.  Mr. Flynn, I wonder if you would like to comment on that.

10.  It is said that it isn』t a matter of population.  Could you comment on this very interesting question, Mr. Gage?

11.  It』s thought that there』re far too many commercials on TV.  Mr. Teller, do you agree?
