PRESENT (ACCURACY & USE)
Choose + justify:
I (work / am working) in IT this week.
→ am working (temporary)
Add a missing linker:
___, restart the system. Then check the network.
→ First
Choose:
The system (crash / crashed) yesterday.
→ crashed
Choose best:
We ___ restart the system (strong advice)
→ should
React (agree):
“We should restart the system.”
→ That’s a good idea
Correct + explain:
She work on a ticket now.
→ She is working… (present continuous + -ing)
Reorder + improve:
Finally check logs. First restart. Then check network.
→ First restart. Then check the network. Finally, check the logs.
Correct + justify:
Yesterday I restart the server.
→ “yesterday = finished action → use past”
Choose best:
We ___ try another option (possibility)
→ can
React (disagree politely):
“We should do nothing.”
→ I’m not sure / Maybe we should…
Reformulate:
“I fix problems every day” → add contrast with “now”
→ I fix problems every day, but now I am fixing a specific issue.
Improve clarity:
“Restart system. Check. Fix.”
→ full structured process with linkers
Example:
First, restart the system. Then, check the settings and identify the problem. Finally, fix the issue.
Expand:
“The system crashed.”
→ add action + result (3 sentences total)
Example:
The system crashed.
I restarted the server.
The system worked again.
Correct:
We should to restart the server
→ should restart
Extend:
Give suggestion + reason
→ We should restart because…
Spot the error + correct:
I am usually working on network issues.
→ I usually work… (habit → present simple)
Add 2 extra steps logically
Given: First log in → Finally check result
→ student adds coherent middle steps
Example:
First, log in. Then, open the application and select the file. After that, run the program. Finally, check the result.
“I fixed it.”
→ You must:
identify problem,explain action, give result
use clearer language
Example:
Reformulate stronger recommendation:
“We can restart” →
→ We should restart
Mini interaction (1 turn): Student A & student B
suggestion
reaction
counter-suggestion
Example: Raphael with Natt if not in a team
A: We should restart the system.
B: That’s a good idea, but I’m not sure it will solve the problem.
A: Maybe we should check the network first.
Produce:
Give 2 sentences
one routine
one action in progress
→ must be clearly contrasted
Example:
Produce a clear 5-step process
Must include:
logical order
linkers
precise verbs
Example:
First, log in to your account.
Then, open the application.
Next, select the correct file.
After that, run the program.
Finally, check the results and save your work.
Full incident explanation
Must include:
The system crashed because the server was overloaded.
First, I checked the logs to identify the issue.
Then, I restarted the server and monitored the performance.
After that, I adjusted the system settings to reduce the load.
As a result, the system worked normally again.
Produce:
2 suggestions
1 obligation
1 alternative
Must use:
should / need to / can
Example:
We should restart the server.
We should check the network configuration.
We need to fix the issue as soon as possible.
We can try another solution if this doesn’t work.
Full micro-meeting:
identify problem
propose solution
react
agree on decision
Example:
A: The system is very slow and users are complaining.
B: We should restart the server and check the network.
C: That’s a good idea, but maybe we should check the logs first.
A: Yes, I agree. Let’s check the logs and then restart the server if needed.
