Audience-focused mediation and argument
A fictional German school report says that some students want a study room to remain open later, while staff ask for a realistic supervision arrangement. It also contains a long introductory advertisement for a commercial stationery supplier. The task is to explain the proposal briefly to a Turkish-speaking student group and invite their comments. A draft translates the advertisement, declares that every student supports the plan and invents a cost estimate. Another draft offers only a greeting and an unsupported demand. Neither meets the actual information need. No official examination word count, penalty or approved policy is supplied. The learner must select the relevant claims, preserve the disagreement and use natural Turkish appropriate to the audience. The materials are invented for this exercise and do not describe an actual school decision.
1. What information should be retained?

Retain the request for later opening and the condition concerning supervision. Omit the unrelated advertisement, unsupported universal support and invented cost. Present the proposal as under discussion rather than already approved.
2. Give a suitable Turkish core message.

“Bazı öğrenciler çalışma odasının daha geç kapanmasını istiyor. Bunun için uygun bir gözetim düzeni kurulması gerekiyor. Sizce bu öneri nasıl uygulanabilir?” It conveys the issue, condition and invitation without adding fictional facts.
