- Paraphrase: Start by summarizing the quote in your own words to show you
understand its meaning.
- Clarify: If the quote has any difficult or abstract parts, briefly explain them.

 Express Your Opinion


- Agree or Disagree: Clearly state if you agree or disagree with the message of
the quote.
- Justify Your Opinion: Provide reasons why you feel that way. You could use
examples, experiences, or general knowledge to back up your points.

 Involve Your Partner


- Ask for Their Opinion: Make the discussion interactive by asking your partner
what they think about the quote.
- Build on Their Response: If they agree with you, expand on their points. If they
disagree, respectfully present a counter-argument.

 Give Examples
- Use Real-Life Examples: Whether you agree or disagree, support your opinion
with relevant examples. It could be something from your life, current events, or
famous figures.

 Stay Balanced

why some people might agree with the quote, and then explain why you don’t.
