How to do this drill
- Name the listener and purpose verb.
- Choose three idea blocks.
- Write keywords only, then speak once.
Material
Your friend has accepted an early-morning job and is unsure whether to drive, take a bus, or arrange carpools. Parking is expensive, the bus stops nearby, and a coworker can share rides twice a week. Give advice that balances reliability, cost, and weather changes.
Your tasks
- Create a listener-purpose-three-block plan in twenty seconds.
- Deliver a sixty-second response from the plan.

Answer
Recommend a primary bus routine with scheduled carpools and an emergency backup, supported by cost and reliability reasons.
How to reach it
- Define the decision.
- Use details from the scenario.
- Close with an immediate action.
Evidence
Plan model: friend—advise; bus main + earlier departure; carpool fixed days saves parking; weather check + taxi backup; one-week trial and adjust.
Review your attempt
- Did the listener receive a direct recommendation?
- Did the three blocks develop rather than list options?
Take it further
Repeat with a different recommendation while preserving supportive tone.
