A small problem

Last Saturday, Marina went to the public library in Salvador for a language exchange. Before leaving, she checked “if” and “a form” in her notes, then remembered “to rain”. The trip was easy, and she arrived before the activity began.

During the event, Marina noticed a small problem. She needed “a delay”, but the first person gave her “to feel better” instead. She asked a simple question, listened to the answer, and chose a better option.

The story afterward

After that, Marina talked with Rui. They used “a problem” to describe what had happened and “to rain” to talk about the next step. The delay was short, so everyone stayed calm.

At home, Marina told her family the beginning, middle, and ending of the story. She said that “an appointment” and “to feel worse” were useful, and that “a platform” and “a delay” would help next time. She felt tired, but she was happy with the result.

A plan for next time

The next morning, she wrote a short message to Rui. She explained “to feel worse”, thanked the group for “a delay”, and made a simple plan for the following week.
