Contrasting & Compare, and Planning Events.

Let me introduce myself. My name is St.Masita Nur Khalifah. I’am a student in Business English Communication at Universitas Negeri Makassar.

Today in IIEC Listening course we learned about Comparing & Contrasting, and Planning Events.

1. Comparing & Contrasting

In team discussions, discourse markers can ease the flow of conversation. They can help link good or contrasting ideas, or connect an action to a result. In this sub we are also taught about how to express similar ideas, express contrasting ideas, talk about results, etc.

2. Planning Events

Many English verbs that are used to give opinions or talk about plants, intentions, and arrangements are followed by a gerund or an infinitive.

In this sub activity, we get an activity to answer with full sentences. To be honest, I find it very difficult to do it because I am not very good at constructing a sentence in English. Finally, I asked my friend's help to answer the activity.
