Pergunta: How can we tell if a listener is listening carefully?

Análise

When answering this question, you can talk about both verbal and non-verbal signs that show someone is paying attention. For example, people who are listening carefully often make eye contact, nod, or give small responses like 'uh-huh' or 'I see.' They might also ask relevant questions or give feedback that shows they understand what’s being said.
