FOUR ways to add value to a GD:

1. Share your reasoning first
2. Summarize
3. Body language
4. Make eye contact with your group members while you speak.

FOUR ways you will add value to a GD:

• By laying out the structure, which facilitates discussion.
• By introducing new points, statistics or other information on the topic.
• By giving examples to illustrate clearly certain aspects.

1. Share your reasoning first

• Do not express your stand initially. Note down major issues and remember not to jump to conclusions.
• Begin to speak only after examining all the issues.
• Remember you are being evaluated on how you think and not what you think.

2. Summarize

• Summarize the GD briefly, highlighting just the main points discussed. The reason why participants are asked to write summary.
• Use telegraphic English, do not uses full sentences or you won’t have time to complete the summary.

3. Body language

• Do not be too conscious of your body
• Avoid any irritating gestures like the following:
• Do not slouch in your chair, stretch your legs out. Fidget or keep shaking your legs, play with your pen or any other object and do not point others.
• Sit upright and alert and use normal gestures.
• Do not block your face with the other people alongside you; this will block your words.
• In short, avoid a few glaring errors, and then do not think too much about body language.

4. Make eye contact with your group members while you speak.

• Look at everyone in the group when you speak.
• Avoid staring at just one person.
• Avoid looking down or up while speaking.
• Similarly, while listening to someone else, look directly at him and not on the ground or at the ceiling.
