This standard asks you to analyse and explain how different features of Māori speech — like context, main ideas, language techniques (sayings, metaphors, etc.), and body language — work together to create meaning and affect how listeners understand the message. You need to identify these features and explain why the speaker chose them and how they help get the message across.

- ·Analyse how body language and tone (facial expressions, hand gestures, voice pitch, emotional weight) support the message
- ·Show how all these elements work together to influence the audience
