Expresando órdenes, necesidades y responsabilidades

Cada módulo de este curso comenzará con un roleplay relacionado con alguna temática profesional y lenguaje típico de un día de trabajo. A lo largo de las siguientes clases, analizaremos en profundidad el lenguaje utilizado en este juego de roles.

Pero antes, puedes aprovechar el contenido para practicar tu lectura, se recomienda hacerlo en voz alta. Anota aquellas palabras o frases que no conozcas y responder una serie de preguntas para evaluar tu comprensión lectora.

¡Vamos con el roleplay!

• Blake: Great job everyone! Now we just have to make sure we finish our proposal before the meeting.

• Andrew: No problem! I’m just going to have Sam take a quick look at it to make sure everything’s clear. After he gives us his feedback, I’ll let you guys know what we can do to finish it up.

• Lucy: So, just to clarify, we’ll be presenting our ideas separately from the other departments, right?

• Blake: Correct, I hadn’t talked to Cory before he decided on the meeting times, so they scheduled us for Friday.

• Andrew: That’s a relief! By Friday, we’ll have finished everything for the proposal and even started on the next project!

• Lucy: Well, don’t get ahead of yourself, Andrew, the proposal is good, but the slides definitely need editing.

• Blake: Well, I think they look pretty good. If necessary, I can do some editing tomorrow. Let’s try not to overthink it, though. I think we have our vision pretty clear and everything’s going to go super well.

• Andrew: Sounds good! So, once it’s time for the presentation, I will give the introduction. Lucy is going to be changing the slides, and you’re going to be answering everyone’s questions, right?

• Lucy: Yes, but if people have questions about the budget, I can definitely hop in and give them some details.

• Blake: That would be great, I understand the projection and the overall plan but when it comes to the budget, I get a little bit confused. I’ll try to brush up on things before Friday so that you don’t have to be solely responsible for the budget questions.

• Lucy: I appreciate it, Blake. If you want, we can spend some time tomorrow going over the details so that you’re ready to go. What time is the proposal scheduled for on Friday?

• Blake: We’re looking at 10:00. So, that should give us time to practice once in the morning and to relax a little before we get started.

• Andrew: Cool! Let’s definitely go to lunch together afterwards and reflect on how things went. No matter what, we’re still the best department ever. I’m honestly pretty excited to show everybody our plan.

• Lucy: Me too! It’s been great working with you, guys, and I know we’re going to do great. So, just to confirm, tomorrow we’re going to meet up again at two to give it the finishing touches, right?

• Blake: Yep! Sounds like a plan. Thank you guys for all your hard work.
