Checking that you have understood
When you have been given an instruction, it’s sometimes a good idea to check that you have understood. One way to do this is to ‘paraphrase’. That means that you repeat what the person said but use your own words.
???? ?? ???????? ??????????, ????? ??????? ??????????, ?? ????????? ?? ?? ?????????. ???? ?? ???????? ??????? ?? - "?????????????". ?? ???????, ?? ?? ?????????? ??, ?? ??????? ??????, ??? ?????? ???????.
Listen to someone checking that they understand.
?????????? ?? ????? ????????? ?? ????????? ????
Are you going to the cafeteria? Could you get me a medium Diet Coke?
So one medium Diet Coke. Is that right?
Yeah, thank you so much!
Checking your understanding means that you can be sure you know what to do and the speaker can be sure that you have understood.
????????? ?????? ????????? ???????, ?? ?? ?????? ???? ????????, ?? ??????, ?? ??????, ? ?????? ???? ???? ?????????, ?? ?? ?????????.
How about you?
Do you know how to check that you have understood? Do you do that often?
