Andrea was trying to tell her roommate Chris about the difficulty she has been having in her geography class
Chris interrupted, "Believe me I've seen it before, and if you go on whining the way you are instead of working harder, you are never going to pass this class!" Rewrite this statement using supportive language and explain the language that makes it be supportive.
What will be an ideal response
There are a variety of ways this response may be rewritten. Some of the points that might be made are: First, Chris showed superiority by interrupting, saying "Believe me" and "I've seen it before," In addition, Chris showed evaluation rather than description by blaming her own impatience on Andrea . Chris showed control by simply telling Andrea to work harder. Chris showed rigidity by taking a certain attitude ("you are never. . ."). A more supportive response would use description, "I feel if you. . ."; equality, "Let's look at what you might do. . ." ; and flexibility, "Sometimes if you. . ."
