EXAMPLE
Customer relations: the importance of politeness when dealing with customers.
Politeness is a key function of any successful business. I'm going to talk about the importance of politeness when dealing with customers. I have 3 main points to consider: attentiveness, understanding and tact. 
Firstly, attentiveness is very significant.  Neglecting this point can negatively impact on the further relations with a customer.  Moreover, when a customer is telling you his issue, we should give them our complete attention. Customers consistently tell us they hate dealing with employees who don’t listen or pay attention.
More important than that is understanding. We need to figure out the details that your customers enjoy and make them a routine part of doing business with us. 
Finally/But in my opinion, the most important thing is tact. When talking with a new customer, it’s important to give them your full name and get theirs right away. This makes our conversation more personal and enables us to better connect with our customer.
So, in conclusion, there are 3 things to consider when dealing with customers: attentiveness, understanding and tact. All of them are important and should be taken into consideration.

Part 3. Collaborative task: 5 minutes
TIPS
The main thing is to collaborate, which means asking things like 'what do YOU think about it?' Treat it like a business meeting. You are part of a team.
The task tells you to 'discuss and decide'. Spend 1 minute to 90 seconds discussing the first point then come to a decision about it. Say 'shall we move to the second point?'
For the second bullet point you certainly need to discuss the topic, but you don't need to actually make a decision. You need to be in the process of making a decision.
To explain that a bit further - if you are in the middle of deciding and the time runs out - that's great. If you make a final decision about the topic but you still have time left on the clock - that's bad. Use all your time.
