<!-- (Audio) Linda: I was thinking we could do a quick postmortem of the design project. --> <!-- SPEAKING -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--questions--

--text--

How could Jake very briefly tell Linda that he agrees with the idea of having a quick postmortem?

--answers--

Oh, absolutely. I think doing a postmortem would be a great idea.

--audio-id--

--feedback--

Even though this is correct, it is not brief. There's a simple, 4-letter word you can use to say exactly the same.


Sure.

--audio-id--

ENcbeac3f2

--video-solution--

2

--explanation--

When agreeing with someone's idea you can briefly tell a person that by saying Sure. For example:

  • Would you like to visit another country some day? Sure. - This means you want to do it.

  • How about going to the movies this week? Sure. - This means you accept the invitation.
