Answer 1

The correct answer is: Take notes on the topic and select a few ideas he wants to share.

Many students struggle when expressing themselves clearly in a group discussion even if they have a good knowledge of the topic being dicussed. Jairo's problem can be easily solved by just taking notes and selecting the main ideas he wants to share with the group. Doing so, he will express his point of view in a clear way and appear more confident and familiar with the topic of the discussion.
