160 words per minute
320 words per minute
Around 500 words per minute
More than 1000 words per minute

Focuses more intensely on the speaker's words
Process information more deeply and accurately
Enter a state of relaxation that improves listening

When the listener gets ahead of himself and gets sidetracked by his own train of thought
The moment when language is used that is too technical for the listener
QUESTION 7: Why didn't Gracie give due importance to the "urgent paperwork"?
Because his colleague did not emphasize the urgency of the matter
