How can you introduce elements which are related?
Discussion
To introduce related is to bring an element into use or operation, to the attention of people, or into some sort of involvement or relationship with other elements or the proximity. Remember that relationships can be any kind of association or connection between elements. Relationship is more than just similarity. We often understand how elements are related by considering both similarities and differences. Elements can be associated or connected in many different and similar ways.

Good conversationalists often are able to constantly introduce related topics or stories or facts (all of which are elements) into the conversation.
Learning
Learning is often a process of building on what you already know. You have something on which to “hang” the new information. You introduce the new information in a way that relates to what you already know.
