PART 2 · LESSON 19 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Introduce without taking over the story

Ana introduces Rosa to a new group and connects her story to the previous circle, and learns to attribute a quote to the person who said it, flag what is her own take, and stop before telling what belongs to the other person. Say tonight we have Rosa who arrived in February with a summer coat, it was a very thin coat, as she herself said last week the bakery exists because of a loaf of bread left at her door, and a cake nobody wanted, what stood out to me was that she only found out who left it a month later, a month of mystery bread, I'll stop here the rest is her story to tell not mine, you tell it well, I tell the outside you have the inside, so sit down and listen.
