Look at the contextualised questions below. In each case, underline the phrases you could re-use about other presentations.

Answer

  1. At one point you said something about the effect of inflation on the decline of the Roman Empire. Could you elaborate on that a bit?
  2. I didn’t quite understand the point you were making about the role of Christianity in the fall of the Romans. Could you go over that again?
  3. You mentioned the rise in divorce after the war. Do you have any specific statistics on that?
  4. In your introduction, you gave a quote from Churchill. Could you tell me what the source for that is?
  5. You seem to be arguing that the reforms failed. Don’t you think that that’s a bit of an overstatement?
  6. I think you cited a study by Brooks and Hart. Do you have the full reference for that?
  7. You referred to something called the Doppler Effect. Could you just explain exactly what that is?
  8. I think you claimed that doing grammar is a waste of time. What evidence do you have for that?
