Unit 7. Saying good-bye




Activity 11. Role play. Act out a full-scale discussion of a scientific paper. One of you will play the chairman, another the main speaker (consult your teacher about the topic of your presentation), the others will act as the discussion participants. Cover most of the functional situations practiced in this unit.

Activity 10. Study the ways of closing the discussion and thanking the contributors and practice them acting as chairman.

Activity 9. Study the following conversation.

 

Commenting on the paper. Winding up the discussion.

 

Chairman: The question time is over. I’m inviting you to contribute to one of the problems we’re considering. Please keep a strict timing of 5 minutes and don’t wander away from the subject. Who would like to comment on Dr. Rundle’s paper? Ah, yes, the gentleman on the right. Please address the audience, Dr... er...

Coleridge: Peter Coleridge, National Research Council, Canada. I am very impressed by your work, Dr. Rundle, and would like to make only a short comment. Low-field oscillations from two subbands can also be described within a semiclassical approach. We’ve done that. I’m reporting these data this afternoon.

Ch.: Thank you, Dr. Coleridge for your valuable remark. Anyone else wants to speak? Yes, Dr. Ambree you are invited to the microphone.

Ambree: Dr. Rundle, you say that the contribution of acoustic phonons is small, I quite agree with that because indirect evidence we have obtained really indicates an insignificant contribution.

Ch.: Thank you very much. Are there any more comments? There seem to be no more comments on Dr. Rundle’s paper. I think that’s all there is to say on the subject for the time being. In view of the late hour I declare the discussion closed. I would like to thank again Dr. Rundle for his excellent communication and the persuasive way in which he dealt with the questions and comments. I appreciate very much the contributions by other researchers. I think we’ve done a good job on making the problem clearer to us all. The discussion will no doubt help delineate our future work and stimulate further research. Thank you all.

- It seems we’ve exhausted the subject. I think it’d time we closed the discussion.

- Our time is up. I am closing the discussion.

- We have no more time left, so I have to close the discussion.

 

To thank the contributors:

 

- I’d like to thank again... for his excellent communication and the persuasive way in which he dealt with the questions and comments. I appreciate very much the contributions by the other researchers. Thank you all.

- I would like to thank... for his comprehensive review of the problem.
