How can we move on to another topic while having a dialogue with others Moving to another topic When too much time has been spent on a topic, or your partner has nothing more to say about a topic, you can move on to another topic, e.g. I think we’ve talked enough about this point. Maybe we could move on to … I think there’s nothing more to talk about this aspect. Let’s change the topic to … Tip Sample A: Let’s discuss the importance of protecting heritage sites first. I think heritage sites are a reminder of the power of nature and the genius of man. B: Absolutely right. Natural heritage sites amaze us with their splendour and command our respect for nature, and cultural heritage sites can connect us with the past. A: Yes. I think we’ve talked enough about this point. Maybe we could move on to discussing some useful measures. B: OK. In my opinion, even if UNESCO does declare a place as a heritage site, it offers little protection especially if local communities do not take ownership to preserve their heritage. A: I agree with you. Local communities should take some measures. For instance, limiting the number of visitors to these sites and regulating how often or how long they’re open to visitors are the first step in the right direction. Can you add anything B: Yes, I can. Activities like fundraising events can help contribute towards resources required to carry out any restoration and preservation projects. A: I definitely agree! I’m also thinking how little is being done to educate the general public about their importance. The public might be unaware of the dangers that heritage sites are facing. We need to ensure everyone becomes a part of the solution rather than the problem. B:Yes, but let’s change the topic to what effective methods can raise public awareness. I think one is to launch awareness campaigns about the dangers to these vulnerable sites and also how to prevent those dangers. Do you have any other ideas A:Yes, I do. Most people use the Internet nowadays, so it’ll be extremely helpful to set up easily accessible and informative websites about the topic. B:That’s a great idea. I know that if we all work together to take care of our heritage sites, future generations will get to enjoy them too. Writing Write an article calling for the protection of heritage sites.
