Diálogo realista
Alex: Hi there. I need some help with this situation and I have the main information with me.
Morgan: Absolutely. Give me the key details and I’ll see what we can do.
Alex: The main blocker right now is…
Morgan: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the deadline.
Alex: That part is clear. My question is really about the task.
Morgan: Sure. In this case, the task depends on the experience.
Alex: So, just to confirm, that means there is one more step after this, right?
Morgan: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the scope and you’ll receive confirmation.
Alex: Let me give you a quick update.
Morgan: The only thing to watch is the manager, because that can affect the timing.
Alex: That helps. Should I keep the update available for the next step?
Morgan: Yes. It’s better to have it ready, especially if we need to verify a detail.
Alex: I’m here because I need help with hablar de un deadline.
Morgan: Absolutely. Let’s go through the meeting slowly so you know exactly what it means.
Alex: Perfect. I’m trying to focus on the key information instead of translating every word.
Morgan: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the salary and any instruction that follows it.
Alex: That works for me.
Morgan: For a follow-up, keep the status somewhere easy to find.
Alex: Okay, I’ll do that. And the estimate stays the same, correct?
Morgan: Yes. Nothing else changes there.
Alex: Could you also show me where the role appears? I want to recognise it next time.
Morgan: Of course. You’ll usually hear “role” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.
Alex: Perfect. That answers my questions. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.
Morgan: You’re welcome. I’m glad we could sort it out.
