Practice Scenarios

Tech

Scenario:

Our challenge now is to increase the energy density of these batteries without compromising their lifespan.

Response:

Perhaps if we can alter the battery's chemical reaction, it might boost energy density while maintaining a stable lifespan.

Business

Scenario:

The lab results are promising for the new drug. However, we need to consider its long-term effects.

Response:

I agree, it will be valuable to study the chemical reactions inside the human body over time.
