LEt's say that I am talking about advantages of teaching through songs in front of the class. Then, I go on to discuss some examples of songs and analyse them.
When I want to continue what I have said earlier, would it be appropriate to say:
a) Let's get back to our discussion. (I am not sure if "our" will suit as I am the only speaker)
or
b) Let's get back to the main discussion.
Maybe you could suggest any other ideas?
@Nat093,
Our discussion is fine. After all, you weren't talking to yourself.
ETA: I guess you could also say "my lecture."
"To return to my main point . . ."
'Returning to my previous discussion about . . ."
"Back to my point about XYZ, . . ."
@Nat093,
If you're the only one speaking, it's not a discussion.
You could use topic instead.
@ehBeth,
Yes, you are right.
So, "Let's get back to our topic" would be fine?
@Nat093,
our topic is all right though I'd probably use the topic or today's topic (but I think that's a personal preference)
@ehBeth,
"the topic" would be the best option, I suppose. Thank you very much.
