    How do you think does guessing skill play a role in writing skills? Possible answers:
    
    • 
      I do not think that guessing is necessary in writing.
      
    • 
      In my opinion, it plays a great role not only in reading, but also in writing.
      
  • 
    Why do you think so? Possible answers:
    
    • 
      Because guessing is about predicting about the content and plot of the reading passage.
      
    • 
      Because it can be useful in writing also. For example, in the case if we will be given such task in writing to write what the heading of article/passage or some film, book, cartoon is about.

  After listening to their answers, say thank you for expressing their thoughts regarding the questions.
