Welcome to lesson 17 of C2. Today we're going to work on high-stakes meetings.

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to manage disagreement and ambiguity with more confidence.

Let's start with the main idea. English becomes much easier when you learn complete patterns instead of translating one word at a time. Listen to these examples and notice how the structure works in context.

Before we proceed, I'd like to clarify the assumption behind that figure. I understand the concern, but the available evidence points in another direction.

Now say the examples again slowly. Focus on the part of the sentence that changes. Then try to create one new example about your own life.

Here's an important point to remember. In high-stakes settings, precise wording helps prevent unnecessary conflict or misunderstanding.

Let's do a quick practice. Pause for a moment after each prompt and answer out loud.

First: make one sentence about yourself using today's language.
Second: make the same idea negative, if that is possible.
Third: turn one example into a question or a different situation.
Fourth: create one sentence about another person.

Don't worry if your answer is not perfect. The goal is to produce English actively, not only recognize it.

Now listen once more to the model language: Before we proceed, I'd like to clarify the assumption behind that figure. I understand the concern, but the available evidence points in another direction.

Before we finish, say one original sentence without looking at the examples. If you can do that, you're already turning the lesson into active English.

Great work. Review today's examples, practice them aloud, and continue to the next lesson when you're ready.
