Diálogo realista
Student: Hi there. I need some help with this situation and I have the main information with me.
Teacher: No problem. Let’s start with the most important point.
Student: Just to confirm, we’re talking about presentarte en clase.
Teacher: Thanks. I’ll check the exercise first and then we can deal with the rest.
Student: I have that. I’m less certain about the instructions.
Teacher: Of course. The easiest way to think about it is that the instructions comes before the instruction.
Student: So, just to confirm, that means there is one more step after this, right?
Teacher: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the class and you’ll receive confirmation.
Student: What would be the best next step?
Teacher: The only thing to watch is the classmate, because that can affect the timing.
Student: Got it. I also have the explanation with me in case you need it.
Teacher: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Student: Could I have an extension?
Teacher: No problem. I’ll explain the course 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: Right. In a real conversation, catching the topic and the next action is usually enough.
Student: Thank you for the feedback.
Teacher: If you need to follow up, refer to the assignment so the next person can see the history.
Student: Okay, I’ll do that. And the answer stays the same, correct?
Teacher: Yes. Nothing else changes there.
Student: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Teacher: You’re welcome. I’m glad we could sort it out.
