Mock ethics olympiad, sentence 3
Judges ask questions: listen, think, then answer directly; saying "we had not considered that" is better than bluffing, and when the other team speaks you begin with what was good in their view.
Who acts: Judges, we, saying, other team, you, teams · What happens: ask, listen, think, answer, say, not consider · To what, where: questions, that, view · Speech: someone speaks here
