Inviting people to talk

As we said yesterday in class, it's a good to allow and even invite other people to talk, specially if you are in a party of three. Here you can learn useful expressions to carry out this function:
Inviting People to Speak
So what do you think?
Do you like that?
Do you agree with that?
Are you OK? Are you alright?
Would you like to say something? (Using "anything" would be less welcoming)

We're running out of time and X hasn't had the chance to speak yet.
Listen to X, please.
Are you following?
Would you like something to drink?
What's wrong?
Anything wrong?
Hey, we're not allowing X to speak! Come on...
-->
Did you ever have this experience?
Did you ever go through something similar?
