Select information for a visiting student
An original fictional school brief explains that the library's ground floor closes at four this week because of maintenance. The upstairs study room remains open until six, but its entrance is through the east staircase. The accessible lift is unavailable during the work. Students needing an accessible workspace can contact the office for an alternative room. A visiting English-speaking student asks where they can study after four and how to arrange accessible space. A proposed replycopies a long paragraph about the library's history, omits the lift issue and adds an unsupported promise that every entrance will be fully accessible. The teacher asks for an audience-focused English message based only on the relevant supplied information. This is an English-source preparation case; an actual cross-language task would require a source in the specified language andan accurate transfer of its meaning.
