Riverside Decision Journal 90: A Connected Story

Nesta leitura B1, Queila participa de uma oficina de viagens em Brasília, investiga uma necessidade no clube de idiomas, compara opções e ajusta a ação com o grupo. Os cinco temas mais recentes aparecem em uma narrativa de decisão, acompanhamento e reflexão.

Understanding the situation

When Queila joined the group for a travel workshop in Brasília, the group already had a clear need: the language club was useful, but people did not always know how to use it. Queila had recently learned “Can I add something?” and “Sorry to interrupt”, and she wanted to turn that idea into a practical plan.

At the first meeting, Queila listened carefully before speaking. She used “friendship” to connect her experience with the group’s situation, while Leo added “Sorry to interrupt” and “boundary” as a second perspective. They agreed that the problem was real, although its cause was not completely clear.

Comparing options

The team then compared two options. One plan used “budget” and “save”, while the other depended on “neighborhood” and “commute”. They considered time, cost, and the people affected. In the end, Queila said that “save” was the safest choice, but she also accepted one limitation.

After the decision, Leo asked Queila to explain the reasoning in plain language. She gave an example, checked the group’s understanding, and connected the result with “tension” and “misunderstanding”. Nobody expected a perfect answer; they needed an honest next step.

Learning from the result

A week later, the group met again. The first action had worked in one part of the language club, but it needed adjustment elsewhere. Queila reported “boundary” and suggested “commute” before the next meeting.
