What will be an ideal response?


(1) Indicate for whom you're speaking. This means to speak on behalf of the entire group, not just yourself.

This means to review or summarize the accolades of the person or group you're greeting or whose gift or welcome you're acknowledging. (3) Illustrate; don't argue. The idea behind this principle is to be brief about the facts. Avoid your opinion or view on the topic, person, or event. Remember that you are trying to reinforce the ideas that the audience already has about the situation.
