PART 3 · LESSON 26 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The same news, different audiences

The room change needs to be explained first to the volunteers and then to the library management, and Ana learns to say what the news means for each team and explain the main reason behind it. Say we heard that the sessions are moving upstairs, they are for your team that means two shorter sessions instead of one long one, what about the stairs, there's an elevator next to the café I'll show you on Saturday, and for the library why the change, the main reason for the change is the noise the children couldn't hear the stories downstairs, does it cost more, it does and the partners agreed to split it, the same news two different sentences, the same news two different questions.
