One move, several criteria: Three habits lift more than one criterion at once.
B1 and B2 are separate: A great presentation cannot save a silent conversation, and the reverse is also true.
The three moves
1
Quote and comment
Two to five words from the extract, then "which suggests…". This is B1.
2
Answer, reason, example
Never stop at "yes": add because and for example. This is B2.
3
React and ask back
"Sorry, do you mean…?" or "What do you think?". This is C.
One sentence, three criteria
- "Rosa's short answer, 'Enough', shows that she learned to cook by feeling, not by rules."
- Accurate English (A), a supported idea (B1), and an opening for your teacher's next question (C).
