Starter 16: Paraphrasing 
Think back to a time when someone was telling you an important story or essential bit of information
  1. When is it important to get the gist of what they were saying?
  2. When is it important to get the wording exactly right?
  3. Oh dear heavens, how ever do you think this will apply to your task today?
