Please keep the following points in mind.

(a) Be well prepared by regularly reading newspapers and magazines. This will give you a lot
of confidence.

(b) Try and initiate the discussion. If you could not start, at least enter the discussion early.

(c) Do not repeat other’s points or your own points. Bring in fresh points that will take the
discussion to the higher level.

(d) Do not try to generalize by saying all the three leads (given by the GTO) are equally

important.

(e) Be nice to others in the group. You may disagree with others but be polite and humble and
avoid being insensitive and rude.

(f) Cooperate with others and offer chance to the ones who have not been able to speak much.

(g) Do not get discouraged if others oppose your views. Try and convince them with reasoning
and logic.

(h) If you feel your point is not valid, there is no harm in accepting and falling in line with the
group.

(i) Keep a smiling disposition and do not look unduly worried or tense.

(j) Do not get excited and tend to get up from your chair.

(k) Do not use your arms too much to bodily impose yourself on others.

(l) Do not keep looking at the GTO
