Communication skills lesson 10: Paraphrasing and checking you understood · Set 925 · 40 questions

Communication tip (Say it back to check): Checks understanding: repeating the steps back, asking “Do you mean…?”, writing the task down, asking for an example, saying it in your words. Skips checking: nodding without knowing, guessing what they meant, pretending you got it, staying quiet when lost, hoping for the best. A correct paraphrase keeps every detail: “Practice is at 7 AM at the big ground.” → “7 AM, big ground — got it.” A wrong one changes them: “7 PM at the small ground?”
