A corrected arrangement in a written conversation

This original written script is a text-mode preparation exercise, not an audio recording. Mira says, Shall we meet outside the museum at two? Joel replies, I was going to suggest that, but the ticket desk does not open until half past two. Let's meet at the cafe nextdoor at two instead andgo across when the desk opens. Mira answers, That works. I can stay until four, but I need to leave then for my lesson. Joel says, Fine. We can decide what to see first while we have a drink. A learner selects museum, two as the final meeting plan because these words appear in the first line. Another follows the correction and the agreed response. The task asks for accurate comprehension andan explanation of how conversational proposals can change before the participants reach a final agreement.

1. State the final meeting location/time and Mira's departure limit.

Track proposals, contrasts and the final confirmation rather than choosing the first matching word. In real practice, use a recording to follow the exchange without rereading; this printed script cannot assess speed, accent or one-pass listening performance.
