Diálogo realista
Student: Hi. I’m not completely sure what the next step is, so I wanted to check with you.
Teacher: No problem. Let’s start with the most important point.
Student: Can I add something to that point?
Teacher: Right. Let’s start with the course, because that usually determines the next step.
Student: That part is clear. My question is really about the group work.
Teacher: Sure. In this case, the group work depends on the teacher.
Student: Let me repeat that back to make sure I understood you correctly.
Teacher: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the instruction and you’ll receive confirmation.
Student: Can we compare answers?
Teacher: It depends on the deadline. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Student: Okay. I brought the question too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Teacher: Yes. It’s better to have it ready, especially if we need to verify a detail.
Student: According to the text…
Teacher: No problem. I’ll explain the answer in plain terms and then you can tell me if anything is unclear.
Student: Perfect. I’m trying to focus on the key information instead of translating every word.
Teacher: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the explanation and any instruction that follows it.
Student: I have a question about this example.
Teacher: If you need to follow up, refer to the presentation so the next person can see the history.
Student: Before I go, can I confirm the example as well?
Teacher: That’s correct. The example stays exactly as discussed.
Student: Could you also show me where the exercise appears? I want to recognise it next time.
Teacher: Of course. You’ll usually hear “exercise” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.
Student: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Teacher: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre hablar con un profesor, identificá primero si la otra persona está pidiendo un dato, confirmando algo o indicando un próximo paso. Esa función te ayuda a responder incluso si no entendiste una palabra secundaria.
Confirmar es parte de una conversación natural
Si una respuesta contiene mucha información, repetí solo el dato importante con una pregunta corta. Eso mantiene el intercambio ágil y claro.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “course”, “group work” o “teacher”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
