A proposal and a final agreement
The learner reads an original Estonian dialogue: „Kas sobib reede kell kolm?“ „Reedel ma töötan kella neljani. Laupäev sobib paremini.“ „Kohtume siis laupäeval kell üksteist.“ „Sobib.“ The task asks for the final agreement and the reason the first proposal changes. One learner selects Friday at three because those details appear first. Another interprets the work commitment as rejection of every possible meeting. A third assumes the speakers will meet at a library, even though the dialogue gives no location. The supplied text is an instructional script, not an audio recording or a real appointment. A good answer must track the change of plan and confirmation while distinguishing the stated time from information that has not been provided.
1. What is the final agreement and why does the first proposal change?
Read the worked answer
They agree on Saturday at eleven. Friday at three is unsuitable because the second speaker works until four. Laupäev sobib paremini proposes Saturday, and Sobib confirms the revised agreement.
2. What should not be added to the answer?
Read the worked answer
No location is given, and the work commitment does not cancel all possible meetings. Reading the written negotiation also does not establish listening performance or knowledge of the speakers’ real schedules.
