facilitator scripts

FACILITATOR ONLY: keep this file out of sight throughout assessment. Original read-aloud adaptation. No audio assets have been recorded, played, or acoustically verified. The facilitator must be intelligible and follow the once-only timing instructions in administration.txt. L-EXCHANGE-51 | Questions 51 Where can I leave this package for Professor Diaz? L-EXCHANGE-52 | Questions 52 Would you like a hand carrying those folders upstairs? L-EXCHANGE-53 | Questions 53 Aren't we supposed to send the room request before noon? L-EXCHANGE-54 | Questions 54 Could you drive me to the station at six? I know that's when you usually leave for work. L-EXCHANGE-55 | Questions 55 Why did the workshop move to the smaller room? L-EXCHANGE-56 | Questions 56 It's difficult to read this slide from the back of the room. L-EXCHANGE-57 | Questions 57 Is the survey due this afternoon, or have you already finished it? L-EXCHANGE-58 | Questions 58 If you still need a presenter for Saturday, I could do it. L-EXCHANGE-59 | Questions 59 I thought the new café was beside the bookstore, but this address says West Avenue. L-EXCHANGE-60 | Questions 60 Thanks for staying late to help me finish the display. L-CONV-61 | Questions 61, 62 Student A: I called because our project summary is due tomorrow, and the shared file still will not open on my laptop. Student B: Can you try the computer lab? Student A: It is closed tonight. I could come to your room, but I would have to leave before we finished. Student B: Then I will export the current draft as a document and email it. You can mark your changes on that. Student A: Good. I will send them back before nine, and you can put them into the shared file. Student B: That works. I will send the document in a few minutes. L-CONV-63 | Questions 63, 64 Student A: I thought Jamie could drive us to the field center tomorrow. Student B: I would not count on that. Jamie's car is still in the repair shop. Student A: Then we should take the bus at eight. Student B: That bus reaches the center after the orientation begins. There is an earlier one at seven fifteen. Student A: It leaves from the main gate, right? Student B: Usually, but road work has moved the stop to the library entrance this week. Student A: All right. I will meet you there at seven. We will have time to find the stop. L-ANN-65 | Questions 65, 66 An update for students submitting course projects: the upload site will be unavailable tonight, so do not use the original online link. Bring a printed copy to the department desk tomorrow by noon. If you cannot reach campus, email the course assistant before nine this evening to arrange another submission method. The project deadline has not been extended. Please use this revised procedure to make sure your work reaches us on time. L-ANN-67 | Questions 67, 68 The campus exchange table opens Friday in the student center. Any current student may bring clean household items and take items they can use. You do not have to bring something to participate. Volunteers should arrive at nine to set up, while the table opens to visitors at ten. We recommend bringing a bag because boxes may run out. Leftover items will go to a local reuse center at the end of the day. L-TALK-69 | Questions 69, 70, 71, 72 Today we are considering how seeds travel away from the plant that produces them. Moving to another location can give a seed an opportunity to grow beyond the crowded space close to its parent. The method of travel often depends on a feature of the seed or the structure around it. Some have light, broad or fluffy surfaces that help wind carry them. Others have small hooks that attach to an animal passing through the vegetation. The animal transports them externally until they detach. A different relationship involves fruit. An animal eats the fruit and may carry seeds inside its body before depositing them elsewhere. These examples are distinct mechanisms, not stages that every seed must pass through. Notice that the same result, movement away from the parent, can be achieved in several ways. In the next part of the class, we will examine how the conditions at a seed's destination affect whether it can begin growing. L-EXCHANGE-73 | Questions 73 Who will introduce the visiting speaker before the lecture starts? L-EXCHANGE-74 | Questions 74 I am sorry I forgot to send you the room number. L-EXCHANGE-75 | Questions 75 How is your report coming along? L-EXCHANGE-76 | Questions 76 Could you email Sam the revised meeting time? L-EXCHANGE-77 | Questions 77 Is it all right if I use this chair for the discussion group? L-EXCHANGE-78 | Questions 78 Would you like to join us for lunch after the tour? L-EXCHANGE-79 | Questions 79 Do you prefer the morning seminar or the one after lunch? L-EXCHANGE-80 | Questions 80 What did you think of the proposal to open the library earlier? L-EXCHANGE-81 | Questions 81 Do you know whether the rehearsal has been moved to Friday? L-CONV-82 | Questions 82, 83 Student A: The recorder we borrowed no longer makes that buzzing sound, but now the left channel is silent. Student B: Maybe the recorder needs replacing. Student A: Before we request another one, could we try this spare microphone? Student B: You think the problem is in the microphone cable? Student A: It could be. If the spare works on both channels, we will know the recorder can still capture them. Student B: Good point. Let us make a short test recording now. Student A: Then we can tell the desk exactly what failed instead of returning everything. L-CONV-84 | Questions 84, 85 Student A: Your presentation sounded clear during rehearsal. Student B: I am worried the audience will not understand the graph on the third slide. Student A: The graph itself is readable. You move to it before explaining what the two lines represent. Student B: Should I add a second graph? Student A: I would first add a short introduction to the existing one. If that is still confusing, we can consider changing the image. Student B: Yes, I will explain the two measures before discussing the result. Then we can rehearse that section again. L-CONV-86 | Questions 86, 87 Customer: Could I have the mushroom sandwich on toasted bread? Server: We have run out of mushrooms. We can make the same sandwich with roasted peppers, or there is a cold cheese sandwich. Customer: I would rather have something warm. Are the peppers ready now? Server: They are, but toasting the bread will take about five minutes. Customer: That is fine. I will take the pepper version. Server: Please pay at the counter, and I will call your number when it is ready. Customer: All right. I will pay and wait over there. L-ANN-88 | Questions 88, 89 During Saturday's street festival, the campus shuttle will avoid Market Street between ten in the morning and six in the evening. The temporary stop will be beside the museum. Service will run every twenty minutes instead of every fifteen, so allow extra travel time. After six, the usual route and schedule will resume. This change applies only on Saturday. Friday's service is unaffected. Check the sign at the museum stop before boarding to confirm the shuttle's direction. L-TALK-90 | Questions 90, 91, 92, 93 Think about speaking in a room with hard walls. Some of the sound travels directly to a listener, while some reaches a wall and is reflected back into the room. These reflected paths can make speech seem to linger. Absorption changes what happens when sound reaches a surface. A suitable absorbing material takes up some of that sound energy, leaving less to be reflected. For example, imagine placing absorbing panels on the walls of a classroom where repeated reflections make speech difficult to follow. The panels can reduce those reflections, but they do not remove the sound that travels directly from the teacher to a nearby student. The example helps distinguish control of reflected sound from elimination of the source itself. It also explains why a quieter-sounding room does not necessarily have silent speakers. The amount of absorption depends on the material and the sound involved, so one should not assume that any soft-looking surface will absorb every frequency equally. Next time you enter a lecture room, consider both the direct path and the surfaces that can create additional paths. L-TALK-94 | Questions 94, 95, 96, 97 In a small business, inventory and sales describe different things. Inventory is a stock measured at a particular moment: for example, the number of notebooks on a shop's shelves when it closes on the last day of a month. Sales describe a flow over a period, such as notebooks sold during that month. Suppose a shop ends April with eighty notebooks and ends May with sixty. The two counts alone do not tell us how many notebooks it sold in May, because the shop may also have received new deliveries. We would need those additional records to explain the change. Keeping stock available can help a business meet customers' requests, but holding too much also uses money and storage space. There is a practical tradeoff, rather than a rule that the highest inventory is always best. For our next comparison, we will look at delivery records alongside the dates of the stock counts and the sales recorded during the intervening month. That will let us separate movement during a period from the amount present at its end. S-REPEAT-110 | Questions 110 Welcome to our shared art studio. S-REPEAT-111 | Questions 111 The desk and work tables are just inside. S-REPEAT-112 | Questions 112 You can find the drawing paper on the lower shelf.

S-REPEAT-116 | Questions 116 If you borrowed a folder that belongs to the evening class, please leave it on the desk when you finish. S-INTERVIEW-117 | Questions 117 Think of a purchase you made recently. What did you choose, and what influenced your choice? S-INTERVIEW-118 | Questions 118 When something you own stops working, do you prefer to repair it or replace it? Explain your preference with an example. S-INTERVIEW-119 | Questions 119 How useful is advertising when you decide what to buy? Explain your view. S-INTERVIEW-120 | Questions 120 Some communities encourage people to buy from small local shops rather than online sellers. Do you think this is a good idea? Explain your opinion.
