PART 2 · LESSON 20 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Time ran out, the story didn't

Luis's story runs long and three people are still waiting, and Ana learns to negotiate focus with the time remaining and offer a follow-up at a set time. Say Ana it's eight twenty-five three people haven't spoken, Luis we have a couple of minutes left what would you most like to share, the part about my grandfather's boat, then go straight to the boat, he built it in the kitchen and it didn't fit through the door, and the wall, that's the long part, could we come back to the wall after the others speak, if there's time, I'll make time the wall deserves it.
