Vocabulary:
Agree - To have the same opinion as someone else.
Disagree -To have a different opinion from someone else.
Suggest -To offer an idea or plan for others to consider.
Compromise -A decision where both sides give up something to reach an agreement.

Other: We discussed cultural differences in expressing disagreement and the importance of tone in business English.
Progress: Maia is gaining confidence in expressing her views and responding diplomatically in discussions.
