Avoiding

Overgeneralizations

Paddington seems to bring joy wherever he goes. It appears that Paddington’s clumsiness often hides his wisdom. Paddington tends to react with politeness even in difficult situations. He is likely to make a mess when trying to help, yet his intentions are always pure. In most cases, Paddington’s actions lead to understanding rather than conflict.

• There are phrases you can use to indicate: something is possible but not certain, believe something is a trend but lack enough support, express limits, identify specific sources.
