<!-- (Audio) Anna: That's a valid point. However, we've been using collaboration tools to keep everyone connected. -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.

--fillInTheBlank--

--sentence--

That's a valid point. BLANK, we've been using collaboration tools to keep everyone connected.

--blanks--

However

--feedback--

This word is used to introduce a contrasting idea. The first letter is capitalized.

--explanation--

However is used to acknowledge an opposing view before presenting a counterargument. This structure makes disagreements more balanced and respectful in discussions. For example:

  • The app is user-friendly. However, it still has some performance issues. - The app is easy to use, but there are speed problems.

  • The software update improved security. However, it introduced a few new bugs. - The update made the system safer, but it also created some issues.

Anna first agrees with David's concern by saying That’s a valid point. Then, she introduces a different perspective using however to explain that collaboration tools help solve the problem.
