A German notice for a Persian-speaking visitor
A fictional German source says: Der Lesesaal bleibt am Freitag bis 18 Uhr geöffnet. Der Aufzug ist wegen Wartungsarbeiten außer Betrieb. Wer einen barrierefreien Arbeitsplatz benötigt, soll sich an das Sekretariat wenden. A Persian-speaking visiting student asks whether a study space is available after four and what to do about accessible entry. A draft reply describes the building’s history, promises that the lift works and omits the office contact. The teacher identifies the passage as an original cross-language exercise rather than a real school notice. No other source establishes an alternative entrance or guarantees that a particular room is available. The assignment is to select the relevant information and produce a courteous Persian message suited to the visitor’s practical question.
1. Select the relevant facts and identify the false promise.

The reading room is open until six on Friday, the lift is out of service and the office is the contact for an accessible workspace. Saying the lift works directly contradicts the source.
2. Produce a concise faithful Persian message.

سالن مطالعه روز جمعه تا ساعت شش باز است، اما آسانسور به علت تعمیرات کار نمیکند. اگر به محل مطالعهٔ بدون مانع نیاز دارید، لطفاً با دفتر مدرسه تماس بگیرید. This preserves the available facts without inventing a guaranteed alternative room.
