Diálogo realista
Student: Good morning. I’m here to sort out something and I want to make sure I explain it clearly.
Teacher: Sure. What would you like to check first?
Student: My main point is…
Teacher: Thanks. I’ll check the campus first and then we can deal with the rest.
Student: I have that. I’m less certain about the university.
Teacher: Sure. In this case, the university depends on the deadline.
Student: I want to make sure I’ve got the details right before I continue.
Teacher: Correct. The course is the final detail we need before moving ahead.
Student: Thank you for the feedback.
Teacher: It depends on the article. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Student: Got it. I also have the group work with me in case you need it.
Teacher: Yes, keep it handy. Someone may ask you to confirm it later.
Student: I’m here because I need help with hablar sobre una lectura.
Teacher: Absolutely. Let’s go through the instructions slowly so you know exactly what it means.
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 seminar and any instruction that follows it.
Student: According to the text…
Teacher: For a follow-up, keep the reading somewhere easy to find.
Student: Before I go, can I confirm the presentation as well?
Teacher: That’s correct. The presentation stays exactly as discussed.
Student: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “research” so I know I understood it?
Teacher: Of course. You’ll usually hear “research” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.
Student: Perfect. That answers my questions. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.
Teacher: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre hablar sobre una lectura, 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 “campus”, “university” o “deadline”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
“I have a question” es la opción natural para introducir una consulta concreta.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that” o “say that again”.
✕ I need that you confirm it.
✓ I need you to explain it.
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the campus.
✓ Could you tell me about the campus, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
