Discussion

At the beginning of this chapter, you placed yourself on a scale similar to the one below.

Read the descriptions below the dots on the scale.

Place G (Gilles), K (Kerry), and C (Claire) on the scale closest to the way each character communicates.

Place R (Roshan) on the scale closest to the way he communicates.

Discuss if Roshan’s speech matches the others.

• Are there any similarities?
• Are there any differences?
• Share your opinion about possible reasons for speech patterns.

Discuss any patterns you see in how Canadians usually speak or write. Drag each letter to the place along the scale that you think represents the formality of each person.
