People and plans

Use this workbench when familiar words hide an unresolved agreement. The family grid follows availability. The invitation task distinguishes interest from attendance. The meeting task changes one field. The handover follows a person and a bag on different routes. The group task leaves one job open on purpose.

Read the first scene slowly enough to assign each action to someone. Then try a task without looking at the translation. If your notes make every plan sound settled, check for questions, suggestions, and limits. The model may end before the people agree. ‘Not decided’ can be the correct answer, and a useful clarification can be better than a confident guess.

After a written model, choose a real clip with the same kind of decision. The workbook key will not answer that clip. Make fresh notes and keep missing details marked. We make Jibber Jabber; our matching Italian guide explains the relevant language practice.

Use the workbook glossary for note tools. Return to all topics if another scene better fits your next listening session.
