Some issues with consecutive interpreting

When providing language services, it is inevitable that the translator or the interpreter comes across some problems. While consecutive interpretation is less complex than simultaneous interpretation, there are also issues that crop up, such as:

• 
  Difficulty in listening and note taking
  
• 
  Speaker talks very fast and is difficult to interrupt
  
• 
  Speaker forgets that there is an interpreter and does not pause in his/her speech
  
• 
  Speaker stopping too early or too frequently, making it difficult to understand the idea he wants to get across
  
• 
  Participants chatting among themselves while an interpreter is trying to listen to the main speaker
  
• 
  Speaker taking the floor again while an interpreter is deciphering his/her notes
  
• 
  Speaker knowing the target language and interrupts and corrects the interpreter
  

Micro-review or compression
Using the micro review in consecutive interpretation can make easy the semantic sequence of the speech of the speaker. Micro review expresses the main content of the information. It develops mainly the guessing and predicting skill. It is a kind of text compression. So, micro review makes an edited sensible text. It has the aim for the students to find the main gist of the speech and to express the main content of it. In micro review the main attention is concentrated to the main content of the message:
