This lesson explains how to answer the part. It is not a timed practice set. One casual dialogue. Questions are read aloud. You cannot rewind.
Colleagues, friends, or neighbours. That tells you how direct the plan-change will sound.
What they intended, what went wrong (delay, conflict, weather), and what they settle on.
One line of notes is enough: who / when / where. Mid-clip numbers are often traps.
Five sequential questions. A long pause on question 2 is how question 3 is lost.
Prompt
Two colleagues talk before a morning standup. The SkyTrain is delayed. Sample question: What do they decide to do about the 9:00 meeting?
Model
Maya: The Expo Line is holding at Stadium. I'm still at Broadway. Dan: Standup is at 9:00. Priya wanted the deck before that. Maya: I can bike from here, but I won't make 9:00. Dan: Don't bike. Take the 99 to Commercial and transfer. I'll start without the deck and we'll do your slides last. Maya: What if I just call in from the platform? Dan: Coverage is terrible in the tunnel. Better to walk in late than drop out mid-sentence. Maya: Fine. Push standup to 9:30 and I'll be there with the file on a stick. Dan: I'll message Priya. 9:30, room 4, you bring the stick. Question: What do they decide to do about the 9:00 meeting? Answer: Move standup to 9:30 so Maya can arrive in person with the file.
Why it works
Answering from the opening plan (9:00, bike, call in) instead of the last agreed line.
Mixing who does what: Dan messages Priya; Maya brings the file.
Waiting to “be sure” on a sequential question. The next stem will not wait.
