To interfere: to slow something down or make worse by getting in the way.

Having too much meeting is interfering with our work.

I told her to leave us alone and not to interfere in our problems.

All that noise is interfering with my abilities to think.

To reflect: to think about or consider something, or to throw back an image, as from a mirror.

Before I make a decision, I'd like some time to reflect.

When you look into a mirror,  your image is reflected back to you.

To influence: to have an effect on something.

I think she can help us influence the others.

I don't think we can influence the final result.

They don't care what we think, so we'll be difficult to influence the decision.

To focus:to bring attention to something and make it clear.

If we don't focus on something we won't get anything done.

We aren't sure what to focus on, so everyone is confused.

He focused on too many details and didn't see the overall(全部的） shape, so the product was a failure.

To exaggerate(夸张）: to describe something as larger or more important than it really is.

It's difficult to believe what he says because he always exaggerates.

She said she could sell anything, but of course that was an exaggeration.

They exaggerate the benefits of their product and ignore the problems in quality, so I don't trust them.
