4.You should understand the other person’s emotions, by putting yourself in their shoes and looking at the situation from their perspective.
5....
2)What technique is used in the lecture transcript? Give us two or three examples
By giving a lot of examples.
Example from the text:
If you heard someone shout, “Hey you!” from across the room, how would you react? Just these two words can carry a lot of information. They could be interpreted as a welcoming greeting from a close friend, especially if accompanied by a gentle smile. When spoken by a stranger, they can function as a means of attracting your attention.
3）What is the function of the examples?
It attracts the attention of the audience and allows them to think more actively.
