How to do this drill
- Read the questions once.
- Listen or read the original transcript only once before answering.
- Review by reducing the exchange to one purpose line.
Material
- Rina
- I booked the library study room for our tutoring group, but two students now need to join remotely.
- Omar
- Room Cedar has a screen, although it seats only six. Your group has five in person, correct?
- Rina
- Yes. The larger room has no screen, so Cedar is actually better. Can you move the booking?
- Omar
- I can switch it and email the connection instructions. Please arrive ten minutes early to test the sound.
- Rina
- Perfect. I will tell the group and meet you there at five fifty.
Your tasks
- State the main purpose of the conversation in one sentence.
- Identify the final room choice and the reason it fits.

Answer
Rina changes a study-room booking so remote students can participate; Room Cedar is confirmed because its screen matters more than extra capacity.
How to reach it
- Identify the changed need.
- Compare room attributes with group size.
- Use the final confirmation as the outcome.
Evidence
The decisive sequence is new remote participants, Cedar's screen, confirmation that only five attend in person, and Omar's promise to switch the booking and send instructions.
Review your attempt
- Did your main-message sentence include a change or decision?
