Full Conversation

Student A

Are you joining us for lunch, or do you have another class now?

Student B

Yes, I have a minute. Let us look at it together.

Student A

I have about forty minutes, so I can eat here before the next lecture.

Student B

That is how I understood it too. We can compare the details.

Student A

Great. I just want to make sure I have understood everything correctly before we continue.

Student B

No problem. It is always better to confirm the details than to guess.

Student A

How did you find today’s marketing class? I liked the example about consumer habits.

Student B

Yes, that sounds right. It should make the task clearer.

Student A

Okay, I understand. Let me repeat the main point in my own words so I remember it.

Student B

Perfect. Go ahead. If anything is missing, I will correct it.

Student A

After lunch, shall we spend ten minutes planning our group assignment?

Student B

Good plan. Let us follow that and check again if anything changes.

Student A

Thank you. That makes the situation much easier for me.

Student B

You are welcome. I am glad we could sort it out clearly.

Useful Expressions

  • Do you have a minute?
  • Could you explain the priority?
  • Is that correct?
  • I’ll update you.

Speak it aloud

Read the conversation once. Then choose one role and speak only that role aloud. On the second round, close the page after each line and try to respond naturally in your own words.

Practise This Situation with Timer

Practice Challenge

Keep the same situation but change two details. For example, change the time, place, problem, preference or reason. Try to continue the conversation for one extra minute without reading.
