Synthesis brings related ideas from different speakers together. Identify agreement, disagreement and complementary information. Keep speaker attribution when it matters. Do not combine conflicting claims as if both were established facts. A useful synthesis explains the relationship between contributions rather than listing each speaker’s remarks.
The model “Both speakers support the club; one focuses on access and the other on supervision.” illustrates the method in a specific context. Compare it with “The second speaker challenges the cost estimate, not the aim.”. The useful question is how the change in wording affects meaning, emphasis or the relationship with the reader. A strong response connects a precise language choice to its purpose; naming a feature alone is insufficient. Explain the connection in ordinary language before adding a technical term. When reviewing your own response, remove unsupported claims and check that every detail serves the task you have been given.

A useful question targets an unclear step, unsupported claim or practical consequence. Refer to what the speaker actually said. Open questions invite explanation; a closed question checks a precise detail. Use a respectful tone and allow time for an answer. The purpose is understanding, not trapping the speaker.

Look across several pieces of work to find recurring problems. Group them by type: unsupported inference, weak paragraph links, tense shifts or punctuation. Choose a small target and practise it in a new context. Improvement is shown when the skill transfers, not just when the same corrected answer is copied.
