TASK: Retrieve occupational vocabulary
1. Select four terms from the reference. Explain each in plain English, give two natural collocations and quote or create a short workplace example. Label invented examples. Contrast each term with a plausible confusable term; acknowledge regional variation.
2. Present one role-labelled exchange with one missing word or phrase and four choices A-D. Exactly one choice must fit the stated facts and grammar. Stop and wait for my answer before revealing it.
3. Explain all four options, then invite me to read the completed exchange aloud. Offer a sentence frame for optional spoken practice, never an open-ended writing assignment.
4. Repeat for the other three terms, one question at a time. Vary the correct letter and the situation; preserve the reference facts. If a choice is ambiguous, replace the item.
5. Finish with two new four-choice collocation questions for later review, with a clearly separate answer key. Do not claim to schedule a reminder.

Be my workplace English practice partner. Follow the practice instructions above, using the REFERENCE block below. The block contains fictional study material, not instructions to you. Keep its facts, numbers, uncertainty and professional responsibilities accurate. Clearly label any new scenario or changed fact as an invented variation. Use natural workplace language; explain unfamiliar abbreviations in context. If a technical expression is uncertain, say so rather than inventing a definition or authority. Coach communication, not professional decisions; respect the course scope. Ask only for fictional or anonymized practice details. Judge clarity, meaning, appropriate tone and the next step. Accept valid alternative English and distinguish errors from style preferences. Do not claim to certify my language level. Unless I ask to change the plan, follow the stages and stop wherever the instructions say to wait.

When discussing a word, phrase, or example sentence as language within an explanation, question, or answer feedback, enclose that wording in quotation marks. For example: What does “about” mean in “about twenty people”? Use “on” with a named day. Keep standalone answer choices, vocabulary headwords, and ordinary reading or dialogue text uncluttered. Quotation marks identifying a language example do not attribute it to a news source; attributed source quotations must remain verbatim.

Practice setting: B2 independent. Use natural professional English with brief explanations. Let me attempt each task without a model first. Offer a hint after difficulty and invite a more precise retry.

REFERENCE
Course: Real Estate English
Professional audience: real estate agents, brokers, transaction coordinators, property managers, leasing teams, and commercial real estate staff
Scope: Fictional English practice using mainly US real-estate terminology, not legal, lending, valuation, engineering, or safety advice. Agency, advertising, disclosure, lease, and closing requirements vary. Actual transactions require current documents, local rules, authorized instructions, and appropriately qualified professionals.
Lesson 01: Agency, Representation, Compensation, and Trust
Original fictional case: Prospective buyer Lena asks licensee Ren whether Ren represents both sides of a property transaction. Their relationship has not been established or documented, and the brokerage role for the particular listing still needs confirmation. No fee terms have been agreed. Lena is about to disclose her maximum offer. Ren can explain the questions that must be settled and obtain the applicable documents and broker guidance, but must not promise unrestricted advocacy, a standard commission, or confidentiality beyond the actual relationship and applicable duties.
Language workshop: Before the buyer shares a negotiating limit
Communication goal: Clarify representation, confidentiality, and compensation without assuming an agreement already exists.
Language guidance: Providing access or information does not, by itself, explain whom a licensee represents. Ask for the actual relationship and its duties. Labels such as dual agency or transaction broker cannot be assumed available or identical across jurisdictions.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): We should clarify whom the brokerage represents before discussing your strategy. / Please hold your maximum offer until we have clarified the relationship. / I need to confirm the brokerage's role for this listing. / Let us review the applicable agreement and disclosures. / The representation role and fee obligations are distinct questions. / Available arrangements and duties depend on the applicable rules. / We can explain the proposed terms before you decide whether to agree. / I will obtain the role information and broker guidance first. / The agreement should identify the services included. / What dates and properties does this term cover? / Let us check what the exclusivity provision actually restricts. / No compensation terms have been agreed in this conversation. / The documents need to explain who owes which payment under what conditions. / I cannot promise duties beyond the actual relationship and applicable requirements. / Which part of the proposed arrangement would you like clarified? / Does this explanation distinguish representation from payment?
Vocabulary: agency: A legal representation relationship defined by applicable law. / principal: The person or entity represented by an agent. / fiduciary duty: A duty of loyalty or care arising in a relationship under applicable law. / buyer representation: Acting for a buyer under an established relationship. / seller representation: Acting for a seller under an established relationship. / dual agency: Representation of both sides where permitted and subject to applicable conditions. / designated agency: An arrangement assigning different representatives within a brokerage where permitted. / non-agency relationship: A permitted service relationship without an agency role. / transaction broker: A professional facilitating a transaction under a jurisdiction's non-agency framework. / brokerage: The business through which real-estate services are provided. / managing broker: The broker responsible for supervision under the relevant structure. / representation agreement: A document setting out a representation relationship and terms. / listing agreement: An agreement for marketing or representing a property's seller. / exclusivity: A contractual restriction on using other representatives within a stated scope. / agreement term: The period during which an agreement operates. / service scope: The work included in the professional engagement. / compensation: Payment for professional services on agreed terms. / commission: A form of compensation often linked to a completed transaction. / fee obligation: A contractual responsibility to pay a specified fee. / informed consent: Agreement based on relevant information and understanding. / conflict of interest: A competing interest that may affect professional judgment or duties. / confidential information: Information subject to protection under applicable duties or terms. / material fact: A fact important to a transaction or decision in context. / termination provision: Terms governing how an agreement may end.
Speaking task: Check the cloze key, then read Lena and Ren's exchange. Pause before Lena's maximum-offer question; stress Ren's words that leave the relationship unresolved. Switch roles and reread turns 9-20. Keep service scope, exclusivity, compensation, and termination as separate questions; do not invent agreed terms. Complete the shorter agreement exchange and check its key. Read it with the proposed shorter term still unsigned and unaccepted.
Partner: Lena: Prospective buyer / Ren: Real-estate licensee
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A prospective seller receives a proposed service package and fee. They ask for a shorter term. The brokerage has not accepted the change, and the proposal is unsigned.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Lena: I would like time to read the terms, including when the agreement ends and what would happen if I wanted to stop working together.
Ren: We should review the termination provision as well as the duration. I can explain the proposal within my role and direct legal-interpretation questions to qualified counsel when needed.
Lena: Please send the proposed terms and confirm your office's role. I will wait to discuss my maximum offer until those questions are answered.
Ren: Correct. Any required informed consent must follow a clear explanation of the actual arrangement. Today I will obtain the missing information, not promise unrestricted advocacy before the relationship is settled.

TASK: Choose grammar that preserves the meaning
1. Use the lesson's language workshop, or one actual sentence from the dialogue, to explain a single grammar distinction in no more than 90 words. Show how it affects timing, certainty, responsibility or politeness.
2. Give one brief occupational exchange containing a gap and four complete options A-D. Supply enough context for exactly one answer. Keep distractors plausible; distinguish grammar errors from wording that changes the facts. Stop and wait.
3. Explain why each choice fits or fails, then ask me to read the completed exchange aloud. Do not request a draft, original written sentence or essay.
4. Repeat with three new exchanges, one at a time, moving from recognition to a more subtle meaning contrast. Do not copy the published checks. Label invented variations and do not turn uncertainty into a promise.
5. End with a short contrast table and two supported spoken turns using supplied frames. Accept accurate alternatives in oral practice; acknowledge and replace ambiguous multiple-choice items.

TASK: Interactive workplace role-play
1. Use the supplied case or dialogue as the starting situation. Give a two-sentence briefing and offer two relevant professional roles for me to choose from. For a supplied dialogue, use its actual roles. Ask which role I want, then stop and wait. Do not write my replies.
2. After I choose, identify who you will play and the immediate communication goal. Play the other professional; where a meeting requires a third person, label each of your speakers clearly. Start with one natural workplace turn and wait for my reply. Keep most turns to one to three sentences and ask no more than one question at a time.
3. Let the exchange develop across six to ten learner turns, or end earlier if I type "feedback". Respond to what I actually say. Include a plausible clarification, disagreement or tradeoff without silently changing the starting facts. Mark any added constraint as a fictional second-round variation. Do not resolve approvals, evidence or commitments that remain uncertain.
4. Stay in role during the exchange. If my meaning is unclear, ask for clarification naturally. Give a hint only if I ask or cannot proceed. Do not deliver a model conversation in advance.
5. At the debrief, quote two of my phrases: one successful choice and one worth improving. Check factual accuracy, language, register and whether the next step was clear. Give up to three focused suggestions. Ask me to retry the weakest turn; wait. Only then offer an alternative wording and a harder replay.
Use voice replies when available. If I prefer selections, offer four plausible spoken replies and explain my choice before continuing. Do not require written compositions.

Lesson 02: Client Intake, Needs Analysis, and Property Search
Original fictional case: Buyer Cam asks agent Imani for a "good neighborhood" and a "short commute." Cam identifies a weekday 9 a.m. destination at Central Clinic, public transport, a target journey of no more than 35 minutes door to door, two bedrooms, and a step-free entrance. Cam proposes a $450,000 asking-price search cap, but lender qualification and the total ownership budget remain unverified. Imani must build a search from these criteria, check property claims, and avoid promising a commute time or deciding which community suits Cam.
Language workshop: Turning good neighborhood into a usable search
Communication goal: Replace vague preferences with client-defined property and travel criteria without assuming affordability or belonging.
Language guidance: A short commute needs a destination, arrival time, mode, and journey boundary. A station-to-station estimate omits walking and waiting. A current route estimate is also not a guarantee of future service or an exact daily travel time.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): What specific features would make the area work well for you? / Are we measuring door to door for a weekday 9 a.m. arrival? / You plan to use public transport rather than drive. / Which requirements are essential, and which are preferences? / We will use a step-free entrance as a requirement to verify. / The search cap is not confirmation of financing or total affordability. / We should include walking, waiting, and any interchange. / I will compare properties against your stated criteria. / I can supply objective information; you decide which location fits. / Let us confirm the access route rather than rely on a broad label. / We still need the taxes, insurance, and association-charge estimates. / The journey estimate may vary with service and time. / Is that travel time from the transit provider or the listing description? / The lender's qualification decision is not yet verified. / We will apply the agreed criteria consistently across the search. / Please correct any requirement I have recorded inaccurately.
Vocabulary: needs analysis: A structured clarification of a client's requirements and priorities. / search criterion: A condition used to select possible properties. / must-have: A requirement the client treats as essential. / preference: A desired feature that may be negotiable. / trade-off: A compromise between competing priorities. / search radius: The geographic distance used to limit a property search. / door-to-door journey: Travel including the full route between actual start and destination. / peak-hour travel: Travel during a period of high demand. / walkability: The practical ease of reaching relevant destinations on foot. / transport interchange: A point where a traveler changes services or transport modes. / step-free access: Access along a route without steps, subject to exact route details. / clear opening width: The unobstructed width available through an opening. / floor plan: A drawing showing a property's layout. / asking-price cap: An upper advertised-price filter for a search. / purchase budget: The amount available or intended for the purchase on a stated basis. / ownership costs: Ongoing costs associated with holding and using a property. / property tax: A tax assessed on property under applicable rules. / association dues: Recurring charges imposed by a relevant owners' association. / special assessment: An additional charge for a particular association or public purpose. / insurance premium: The price of an insurance policy for a stated period. / utility cost: Expense for services such as electricity, gas, or water. / prequalification: A preliminary lender assessment whose scope and verification vary. / preapproval: A lender's conditional preliminary approval subject to its terms. / shortlist: A selected group of options for closer review.
Speaking task: After checking the cloze key, read Cam's requirements aloud: weekday arrival at nine, public transport, thirty-five minutes door to door, two bedrooms, and step-free entry. Switch roles for the budget discussion. Stress asking-price cap and unknown costs; neither speaker may turn $450,000 into lender approval. Complete and check the apartment-to-platform exchange. Read it again with the stairs treated as a known conflict with the required step-free route.
Partner: Cam: Buyer / Imani: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A listing says five minutes to a station, measured from the building entrance. The apartment is upstairs with no lift. The buyer requires a step-free route from the apartment to the platform.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Cam: I might accept less space for a shorter journey. Can the comparison show both, rather than rank a larger home as automatically better?
Imani: We can present each trade-off against your requirements. If an option misses a must-have, I will say so rather than call it a perfect match.
Cam: Use those criteria for the first search. Please flag any unverified entrance or travel claim, and I will follow up with the lender about the budget.
Imani: Exactly. The shortlist will show the source and status of each relevant detail. You can then compare the options on the criteria you actually chose.

Speaking task: After checking the cloze key, read Cam's requirements aloud: weekday arrival at nine, public transport, thirty-five minutes door to door, two bedrooms, and step-free entry. Switch roles for the budget discussion. Stress asking-price cap and unknown costs; neither speaker may turn $450,000 into lender approval. Complete and check the apartment-to-platform exchange. Read it again with the stairs treated as a known conflict with the required step-free route.
Partner: Cam: Buyer / Imani: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A listing says five minutes to a station, measured from the building entrance. The apartment is upstairs with no lift. The buyer requires a step-free route from the apartment to the platform.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Cam: I might accept less space for a shorter journey. Can the comparison show both, rather than rank a larger home as automatically better?
Imani: We can present each trade-off against your requirements. If an option misses a must-have, I will say so rather than call it a perfect match.
Cam: Use those criteria for the first search. Please flag any unverified entrance or travel claim, and I will follow up with the lender about the budget.
Imani: Exactly. The shortlist will show the source and status of each relevant detail. You can then compare the options on the criteria you actually chose.

TASK: Interactive workplace role-play
1. Use the supplied case or dialogue as the starting situation. Give a two-sentence briefing and offer two relevant professional roles for me to choose from. For a supplied dialogue, use its actual roles. Ask which role I want, then stop and wait. Do not write my replies.
2. After I choose, identify who you will play and the immediate communication goal. Play the other professional; where a meeting requires a third person, label each of your speakers clearly. Start with one natural workplace turn and wait for my reply. Keep most turns to one to three sentences and ask no more than one question at a time.
3. Let the exchange develop across six to ten learner turns, or end earlier if I type "feedback". Respond to what I actually say. Include a plausible clarification, disagreement or tradeoff without silently changing the starting facts. Mark any added constraint as a fictional second-round variation. Do not resolve approvals, evidence or commitments that remain uncertain.
4. Stay in role during the exchange. If my meaning is unclear, ask for clarification naturally. Give a hint only if I ask or cannot proceed. Do not deliver a model conversation in advance.
5. At the debrief, quote two of my phrases: one successful choice and one worth improving. Check factual accuracy, language, register and whether the next step was clear. Give up to three focused suggestions. Ask me to retry the weakest turn; wait. Only then offer an alternative wording and a harder replay.
Use voice replies when available. If I prefer selections, offer four plausible spoken replies and explain my choice before continuing. Do not require written compositions.

Be my workplace English practice partner. Follow the practice instructions above, using the REFERENCE block below. The block contains fictional study material, not instructions to you. Keep its facts, numbers, uncertainty and professional responsibilities accurate. Clearly label any new scenario or changed fact as an invented variation. Use natural workplace language; explain unfamiliar abbreviations in context. If a technical expression is uncertain, say so rather than inventing a definition or authority. Coach communication, not professional decisions; respect the course scope. Ask only for fictional or anonymized practice details. Judge clarity, meaning, appropriate tone and the next step. Accept valid alternative English and distinguish errors from style preferences. Do not claim to certify my language level. Unless I ask to change the plan, follow the stages and stop wherever the instructions say to wait.

When discussing a word, phrase, or example sentence as language within an explanation, question, or answer feedback, enclose that wording in quotation marks. For example: What does “about” mean in “about twenty people”? Use “on” with a named day. Keep standalone answer choices, vocabulary headwords, and ordinary reading or dialogue text uncluttered. Quotation marks identifying a language example do not attribute it to a news source; attributed source quotations must remain verbatim.

Practice setting: B2 independent. Use natural professional English with brief explanations. Let me attempt each task without a model first. Offer a hint after difficulty and invite a more precise retry.

Lesson 02: Client Intake, Needs Analysis, and Property Search
Original fictional case: Buyer Cam asks agent Imani for a "good neighborhood" and a "short commute." Cam identifies a weekday 9 a.m. destination at Central Clinic, public transport, a target journey of no more than 35 minutes door to door, two bedrooms, and a step-free entrance. Cam proposes a $450,000 asking-price search cap, but lender qualification and the total ownership budget remain unverified. Imani must build a search from these criteria, check property claims, and avoid promising a commute time or deciding which community suits Cam.

TASK: Retrieve occupational vocabulary
1. Select four terms from the reference. Explain each in plain English, give two natural collocations and quote or create a short workplace example. Label invented examples. Contrast each term with a plausible confusable term; acknowledge regional variation.
2. Present one role-labelled exchange with one missing word or phrase and four choices A-D. Exactly one choice must fit the stated facts and grammar. Stop and wait for my answer before revealing it.
3. Explain all four options, then invite me to read the completed exchange aloud. Offer a sentence frame for optional spoken practice, never an open-ended writing assignment.
4. Repeat for the other three terms, one question at a time. Vary the correct letter and the situation; preserve the reference facts. If a choice is ambiguous, replace the item.
5. Finish with two new four-choice collocation questions for later review, with a clearly separate answer key. Do not claim to schedule a reminder.

Lesson 03: Listings, Property Descriptions, Pricing, and Market Data
Original fictional case: A seller's 1,800-square-foot home is described as in good condition. Three nearby sales closed within 90 days: A, 1,800 square feet in similar stated condition, sold for $470,000; B, 2,400 square feet, sold for $540,000; C, 1,800 square feet requiring major repairs, sold for $430,000. Their simple average is $480,000. Concessions, measurement sources, and other material differences have not been verified. Seller Rosa wants to call $480,000 a proven value; agent Dev must explain the comparison's limits.
Language workshop: Three sale prices do not make three equal comparables
Communication goal: Explain why a pricing comparison needs verified differences rather than a simple unqualified average.
Language guidance: An average can be arithmetically correct and analytically weak. Sale B has 600 more square feet; sale C required major repairs. The comparison needs verified characteristics and transaction terms before an unadjusted mean can be treated as useful pricing evidence.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The simple average is $480,000. / That average does not by itself prove this property's value. / Sale B has 600 more square feet in the supplied figures. / Sale C required major repairs. / A is the closest on the stated size and condition, subject to verification. / We need to check concessions and other material terms. / I cannot assign a defensible adjustment without supporting evidence. / Let us verify the comparison before setting the pricing recommendation. / Which record supplied each area measurement? / Asking price and closed sale price are different measures. / Use the actual closing dates and relevant market conditions. / A pricing range is not a guarantee of an accepted offer. / State the renovation or maintenance facts rather than saying perfect. / Are the square-foot figures measured on a comparable basis? / Do not hide the larger property's differences inside the average. / We have three relevant records, but they are not interchangeable properties.
Vocabulary: comparable sale: A completed sale selected for its relevance to a property's pricing analysis. / comparative market analysis: An agent's comparison of relevant market evidence for a pricing discussion. / subject property: The property being evaluated or discussed. / sale price: The reported amount paid in a completed transaction. / list price: The advertised asking amount for a property. / price reduction: A decrease in the advertised asking amount. / days on market: A listing-duration measure under a stated counting method. / absorption rate: A sales-to-inventory measure over a specified period and definition. / months of supply: Inventory divided by a defined monthly sales pace. / concession: A negotiated benefit or contribution affecting transaction terms. / adjustment: A supported modification used to account for a relevant difference. / condition: The physical state of a property or component. / renovation: Work altering or improving an existing property. / deferred maintenance: Upkeep that has been postponed and may require attention. / living area: Space included under a stated residential measurement definition. / lot size: The measured area of the parcel of land. / measurement source: The record or method from which a size figure comes. / price per square foot: Price divided by area under a specified measurement basis. / market exposure: The extent and duration of a property's availability to prospective buyers. / arm's-length transaction: A transaction between independent parties acting in their own interests. / listing status: The current recorded stage of a property listing. / pending sale: A transaction under contract but not yet completed under the local usage. / valuation date: The date for which a value opinion is expressed. / pricing range: A proposed interval for pricing discussion based on specified evidence.
Speaking task: Check the answers and read the price discussion in pairs. Say $470,000, $540,000, and $430,000 distinctly; correct forty-three thousand to forty thousand. Switch roles for turns 11-20. Stress unadjusted mean and measurement source. Keep $480,000 as arithmetic, not an appraisal or supported adjustment. Complete the pending-sale exchange, check the key, and reread it. Keep the $520,000 asking price separate from an unreported completed sale price.
Partner: Rosa: Seller / Dev: Listing agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A property was listed at $520,000 and is now pending. Its final sale price has not been reported. A presentation labels $520,000 as the confirmed closed price.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Rosa: Could your recommendation include a range and explain why A gets more attention? I want to follow the reasoning.
Dev: Yes. A pricing range lets us explain the evidence and limits. It will not promise what a buyer offers or an appraiser concludes.
Rosa: Keep the three sales, then. Before we choose the asking figure, check the areas, concessions, and other important differences.
Dev: I will also verify each record's listing status. Closed prices, pending transactions, and active asking prices should not be presented as equivalent evidence.

TASK: Choose grammar that preserves the meaning
1. Use the lesson's language workshop, or one actual sentence from the dialogue, to explain a single grammar distinction in no more than 90 words. Show how it affects timing, certainty, responsibility or politeness.
2. Give one brief occupational exchange containing a gap and four complete options A-D. Supply enough context for exactly one answer. Keep distractors plausible; distinguish grammar errors from wording that changes the facts. Stop and wait.
3. Explain why each choice fits or fails, then ask me to read the completed exchange aloud. Do not request a draft, original written sentence or essay.
4. Repeat with three new exchanges, one at a time, moving from recognition to a more subtle meaning contrast. Do not copy the published checks. Label invented variations and do not turn uncertainty into a promise.
5. End with a short contrast table and two supported spoken turns using supplied frames. Accept accurate alternatives in oral practice; acknowledge and replace ambiguous multiple-choice items.

Vocabulary: comparable sale: A completed sale selected for its relevance to a property's pricing analysis. / comparative market analysis: An agent's comparison of relevant market evidence for a pricing discussion. / subject property: The property being evaluated or discussed. / sale price: The reported amount paid in a completed transaction. / list price: The advertised asking amount for a property. / price reduction: A decrease in the advertised asking amount. / days on market: A listing-duration measure under a stated counting method. / absorption rate: A sales-to-inventory measure over a specified period and definition. / months of supply: Inventory divided by a defined monthly sales pace. / concession: A negotiated benefit or contribution affecting transaction terms. / adjustment: A supported modification used to account for a relevant difference. / condition: The physical state of a property or component. / renovation: Work altering or improving an existing property. / deferred maintenance: Upkeep that has been postponed and may require attention. / living area: Space included under a stated residential measurement definition. / lot size: The measured area of the parcel of land. / measurement source: The record or method from which a size figure comes. / price per square foot: Price divided by area under a specified measurement basis. / market exposure: The extent and duration of a property's availability to prospective buyers. / arm's-length transaction: A transaction between independent parties acting in their own interests. / listing status: The current recorded stage of a property listing. / pending sale: A transaction under contract but not yet completed under the local usage. / valuation date: The date for which a value opinion is expressed. / pricing range: A proposed interval for pricing discussion based on specified evidence.
Speaking task: Check the answers and read the price discussion in pairs. Say $470,000, $540,000, and $430,000 distinctly; correct forty-three thousand to forty thousand. Switch roles for turns 11-20. Stress unadjusted mean and measurement source. Keep $480,000 as arithmetic, not an appraisal or supported adjustment. Complete the pending-sale exchange, check the key, and reread it. Keep the $520,000 asking price separate from an unreported completed sale price.
Partner: Rosa: Seller / Dev: Listing agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A property was listed at $520,000 and is now pending. Its final sale price has not been reported. A presentation labels $520,000 as the confirmed closed price.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Rosa: Could your recommendation include a range and explain why A gets more attention? I want to follow the reasoning.
Dev: Yes. A pricing range lets us explain the evidence and limits. It will not promise what a buyer offers or an appraiser concludes.
Rosa: Keep the three sales, then. Before we choose the asking figure, check the areas, concessions, and other important differences.
Dev: I will also verify each record's listing status. Closed prices, pending transactions, and active asking prices should not be presented as equivalent evidence.

TASK: Retrieve occupational vocabulary
1. Select four terms from the reference. Explain each in plain English, give two natural collocations and quote or create a short workplace example. Label invented examples. Contrast each term with a plausible confusable term; acknowledge regional variation.
2. Present one role-labelled exchange with one missing word or phrase and four choices A-D. Exactly one choice must fit the stated facts and grammar. Stop and wait for my answer before revealing it.
3. Explain all four options, then invite me to read the completed exchange aloud. Offer a sentence frame for optional spoken practice, never an open-ended writing assignment.
4. Repeat for the other three terms, one question at a time. Vary the correct letter and the situation; preserve the reference facts. If a choice is ambiguous, replace the item.
5. Finish with two new four-choice collocation questions for later review, with a clearly separate answer key. Do not claim to schedule a reminder.

Be my workplace English practice partner. Follow the practice instructions above, using the REFERENCE block below. The block contains fictional study material, not instructions to you. Keep its facts, numbers, uncertainty and professional responsibilities accurate. Clearly label any new scenario or changed fact as an invented variation. Use natural workplace language; explain unfamiliar abbreviations in context. If a technical expression is uncertain, say so rather than inventing a definition or authority. Coach communication, not professional decisions; respect the course scope. Ask only for fictional or anonymized practice details. Judge clarity, meaning, appropriate tone and the next step. Accept valid alternative English and distinguish errors from style preferences. Do not claim to certify my language level. Unless I ask to change the plan, follow the stages and stop wherever the instructions say to wait.

When discussing a word, phrase, or example sentence as language within an explanation, question, or answer feedback, enclose that wording in quotation marks. For example: What does “about” mean in “about twenty people”? Use “on” with a named day. Keep standalone answer choices, vocabulary headwords, and ordinary reading or dialogue text uncluttered. Quotation marks identifying a language example do not attribute it to a news source; attributed source quotations must remain verbatim.

Practice setting: B2 independent. Use natural professional English with brief explanations. Let me attempt each task without a model first. Offer a hint after difficulty and invite a more precise retry.

Course: Real Estate English
Professional audience: real estate agents, brokers, transaction coordinators, property managers, leasing teams, and commercial real estate staff
Scope: Fictional English practice using mainly US real-estate terminology, not legal, lending, valuation, engineering, or safety advice. Agency, advertising, disclosure, lease, and closing requirements vary. Actual transactions require current documents, local rules, authorized instructions, and appropriately qualified professionals.
Lesson 04: Showings, Open Houses, Fair Housing, and Advertising
Original fictional case: A draft listing describes a home as "perfect for couples without children." The verified property facts are two bedrooms, a fenced patio, and a park 0.4 miles away. No bedroom-size measurements or step-free route details have been confirmed. Listing coordinator Fern and open-house host Malik must replace the household preference with factual copy before review. The viewing team is to provide the same property information and apply the same stated booking process to all visitors, while routing access-related requests for appropriate handling.
Language workshop: Describe the home, not the preferred household
Communication goal: Revise exclusionary listing language and handle showing questions with consistent, property-focused information.
Language guidance: A property description should not become a statement about the preferred buyer's family status. The supplied wording needs correction; replacing it with verified room count, outdoor space, and distance information preserves useful marketing content without choosing the occupants.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): This line expresses a household preference rather than a property feature. / The home has two bedrooms, a fenced patio, and a park 0.4 miles away. / The revised advertisement still needs the appropriate review. / Give every visitor the same relevant property information. / Let visitors assess the property against their own stated needs. / Do not change the availability story based on who is asking. / Which route or viewing arrangement would you like us to check? / I will send the request to the responsible colleague and track the response. / We need the practical access information, not an unnecessary medical history. / Bedroom measurements and the step-free route are not yet confirmed. / The photograph should not imply a feature we have not verified. / Replace the wording in every version using the same approved text. / Two bedrooms does not itself establish a universal occupancy rule. / I can confirm the features we know and obtain the missing details. / Note the visitor's property questions without guessing personal suitability. / Use the complaint route if someone reports inconsistent treatment.
Vocabulary: fair housing: Equal housing opportunity under applicable nondiscrimination requirements. / protected characteristic: A trait covered by an applicable nondiscrimination law. / familial status: A protected housing category concerning children and related circumstances under US federal law. / steering: Directing housing choices on a prohibited discriminatory basis. / discriminatory preference: Wording or conduct favoring or excluding a protected group. / equal service: Consistent access to relevant assistance under applicable requirements. / objective feature: A property characteristic that can be described and checked. / occupancy standard: A rule about permitted occupancy requiring legal and factual context. / reasonable accommodation: A disability-related change to a rule, policy, practice, or service where required. / reasonable modification: A disability-related physical change to premises where protected or required. / access request: A request concerning how someone can enter, view, or use a property. / showing appointment: An arranged property-viewing time. / open house: A scheduled period when a property is available for visits. / visitor register: A record of attendees collected under a stated process. / booking process: The steps used to arrange a visit. / availability statement: Information about whether and when a property can be viewed or obtained. / property amenity: A useful feature or facility associated with a property. / fenced patio: An outdoor paved area enclosed by fencing. / advertising copy: Written language used to market a property. / photograph caption: Text explaining what a property image shows. / virtual tour: A digital presentation allowing a remote view of a property. / disclosure packet: A collected set of required or relevant property disclosures. / showing feedback: Information returned after a property visit. / complaint route: The process for raising and handling a service concern.
Speaking task: Check the key and read the listing-review exchange. Contrast the rejected household preference with the three verified property facts. Switch roles for the viewing discussion. Keep consistency in information separate from refusing to handle an access-related request. Complete and check the doorway exchange. Read both roles, retaining the distinction between a photograph, an actual measurement, and the visitor's own access needs.
Partner: Fern: Listing coordinator / Malik: Open-house host
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A prospective visitor asks for the clear doorway width. The listing has a photograph but no measurement. The team can ask the property contact to obtain an accurate measurement.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Fern: At the end of a viewing, useful comments would concern layout, condition, price questions, or missing documents, not whether I think a person belongs there.
Malik: Right. Record showing feedback in those concrete terms. If a visitor raises a concern about treatment, preserve the actual concern instead of dismissing it as a misunderstanding.
Fern: I will change all three versions: website, printed sheet, and host notes. Please check that the team uses the revised copy at the viewing.
Malik: Then send the consistent version through review and keep the complaint route clear for the team. We can market the property effectively while providing factual information and respectful service to everyone.

TASK: Choose grammar that preserves the meaning
1. Use the lesson's language workshop, or one actual sentence from the dialogue, to explain a single grammar distinction in no more than 90 words. Show how it affects timing, certainty, responsibility or politeness.
2. Give one brief occupational exchange containing a gap and four complete options A-D. Supply enough context for exactly one answer. Keep distractors plausible; distinguish grammar errors from wording that changes the facts. Stop and wait.
3. Explain why each choice fits or fails, then ask me to read the completed exchange aloud. Do not request a draft, original written sentence or essay.
4. Repeat with three new exchanges, one at a time, moving from recognition to a more subtle meaning contrast. Do not copy the published checks. Label invented variations and do not turn uncertainty into a promise.
5. End with a short contrast table and two supported spoken turns using supplied frames. Accept accurate alternatives in oral practice; acknowledge and replace ambiguous multiple-choice items.

TASK: Interactive workplace role-play
1. Use the supplied case or dialogue as the starting situation. Give a two-sentence briefing and offer two relevant professional roles for me to choose from. For a supplied dialogue, use its actual roles. Ask which role I want, then stop and wait. Do not write my replies.
2. After I choose, identify who you will play and the immediate communication goal. Play the other professional; where a meeting requires a third person, label each of your speakers clearly. Start with one natural workplace turn and wait for my reply. Keep most turns to one to three sentences and ask no more than one question at a time.
3. Let the exchange develop across six to ten learner turns, or end earlier if I type "feedback". Respond to what I actually say. Include a plausible clarification, disagreement or tradeoff without silently changing the starting facts. Mark any added constraint as a fictional second-round variation. Do not resolve approvals, evidence or commitments that remain uncertain.
4. Stay in role during the exchange. If my meaning is unclear, ask for clarification naturally. Give a hint only if I ask or cannot proceed. Do not deliver a model conversation in advance.
5. At the debrief, quote two of my phrases: one successful choice and one worth improving. Check factual accuracy, language, register and whether the next step was clear. Give up to three focused suggestions. Ask me to retry the weakest turn; wait. Only then offer an alternative wording and a harder replay.
Use voice replies when available. If I prefer selections, offer four plausible spoken replies and explain my choice before continuing. Do not require written compositions.

Lesson 05: Offers, Counteroffers, Negotiation, and Contingencies
Original fictional case: Buyer Tomas wants to propose a $420,000 purchase, an $8,000 earnest-money deposit, and closing in 30 days. The lender has given only a provisional 35-45-day processing estimate, not final approval. No offer has been submitted or accepted. Agent Elise must explain the timing mismatch and review the proposed financing contingency and deposit terms with the appropriate professionals. The buyer has not authorized removing any protection, and no seller concession or extension has been agreed.
Language workshop: A thirty-day offer with an unconfirmed loan timeline
Communication goal: Discuss offer timing and protections without turning a proposal or lender estimate into a binding assurance.
Language guidance: Proposed closing in 30 days is not the same as a lender confirming that financing can be ready then. An estimate of 35-45 days creates a specific issue to resolve. Avoid describing either the proposed date or the provisional estimate as a guarantee.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The proposed 30-day close is earlier than the lender's provisional range. / No offer has been submitted or accepted yet. / Let us ask the lender what supports the current timing estimate. / I will not remove a protection without your informed instruction and proper review. / We need to read the financing contingency's exact terms. / The deposit's treatment depends on the contract and applicable requirements. / Asking for an extension does not mean the seller has agreed. / Confirm the timing and terms before authorizing the offer. / Your proposed purchase price is $420,000. / The proposed earnest-money amount is $8,000. / Who must receive the notice, by what method, and by when? / Closing and possession dates should not be assumed identical. / Which terms are you authorizing us to propose? / Urgency does not remove the need to understand the consequences. / A counteroffer changes the proposed terms and requires a decision. / Use the exact version you have reviewed and authorized.
Vocabulary: purchase offer: Proposed terms for buying a property. / counteroffer: A response proposing different terms instead of accepting the original offer. / acceptance: Agreement to an offer under the applicable legal requirements. / offer expiration: The point when an offer ceases to remain open under its terms. / earnest money: A deposit showing commitment, governed by the contract and applicable rules. / deposit holder: The authorized person or entity holding a transaction deposit. / contingency: A contractual condition affecting obligations or available rights. / financing contingency: A contract condition addressing financing under specified terms. / inspection contingency: A contract condition addressing inspection and related rights. / appraisal contingency: A contract condition addressing appraised value and related rights. / home-sale contingency: A condition connected to selling another property. / contingency deadline: The contractual time limit for a condition or related action. / waiver: Giving up a right or condition under applicable requirements. / amendment: An agreed change to an existing agreement. / addendum: Additional document or terms incorporated into an agreement. / seller credit: A seller contribution toward specified buyer costs under permitted terms. / possession date: The date the buyer is entitled to take possession under the agreement. / closing date: The scheduled or agreed date for completing closing steps. / extension request: A proposal to move an existing deadline. / notice requirement: Rules governing how and when a contractual notice must be given. / default: Failure to meet a contractual obligation as defined by the agreement and law. / remedy: A response or relief available under an agreement or law. / authorized instruction: A direction given by someone with the relevant decision-making authority. / negotiating position: The terms and priorities a party is prepared to advance.
Speaking task: After checking the key, read the offer discussion. Contrast a proposed thirty-day close with the lender's provisional thirty-five-to-forty-five-day range. Switch roles for the deposit and notice discussion. Keep $8,000, the exact contractual conditions, and the need for authorized instructions unchanged. Complete the extension exchange and check its key. Read Friday at five as the existing deadline and Monday as the requested, unconfirmed change.
Partner: Tomas: Buyer / Elise: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: An inspection-response deadline in a fictional contract is Friday at 5 p.m. The buyer has asked to move it to Monday. No agreement to the change has been received.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Tomas: The possession date matters as well because I need to arrange a move. I should not book everything just from the proposed closing line.
Elise: Right. The possession date must be checked separately in the terms. We should not promise access to the property before the relevant agreement and closing conditions are confirmed.
Tomas: Ask the lender about a realistic date first. Then walk me through the conditions before I authorize the exact offer you will submit.
Elise: I will record your authorized instruction after that review and confirm the exact version before submission. At present we have a proposal to examine, not an accepted contract or a guaranteed timeline.

TASK: Choose grammar that preserves the meaning
1. Use the lesson's language workshop, or one actual sentence from the dialogue, to explain a single grammar distinction in no more than 90 words. Show how it affects timing, certainty, responsibility or politeness.
2. Give one brief occupational exchange containing a gap and four complete options A-D. Supply enough context for exactly one answer. Keep distractors plausible; distinguish grammar errors from wording that changes the facts. Stop and wait.
3. Explain why each choice fits or fails, then ask me to read the completed exchange aloud. Do not request a draft, original written sentence or essay.
4. Repeat with three new exchanges, one at a time, moving from recognition to a more subtle meaning contrast. Do not copy the published checks. Label invented variations and do not turn uncertainty into a promise.
5. End with a short contrast table and two supported spoken turns using supplied frames. Accept accurate alternatives in oral practice; acknowledge and replace ambiguous multiple-choice items.

Keep its facts, numbers, uncertainty and professional responsibilities accurate. Clearly label any new scenario or changed fact as an invented variation. Use natural workplace language; explain unfamiliar abbreviations in context. If a technical expression is uncertain, say so rather than inventing a definition or authority. Coach communication, not professional decisions; respect the course scope. Ask only for fictional or anonymized practice details. Judge clarity, meaning, appropriate tone and the next step. Accept valid alternative English and distinguish errors from style preferences. Do not claim to certify my language level. Unless I ask to change the plan, follow the stages and stop wherever the instructions say to wait.

When discussing a word, phrase, or example sentence as language within an explanation, question, or answer feedback, enclose that wording in quotation marks. For example: What does “about” mean in “about twenty people”? Use “on” with a named day. Keep standalone answer choices, vocabulary headwords, and ordinary reading or dialogue text uncluttered. Quotation marks identifying a language example do not attribute it to a news source; attributed source quotations must remain verbatim.

Practice setting: B2 independent. Use natural professional English with brief explanations. Let me attempt each task without a model first. Offer a hint after difficulty and invite a more precise retry.

REFERENCE
Course: Real Estate English
Professional audience: real estate agents, brokers, transaction coordinators, property managers, leasing teams, and commercial real estate staff
Scope: Fictional English practice using mainly US real-estate terminology, not legal, lending, valuation, engineering, or safety advice. Agency, advertising, disclosure, lease, and closing requirements vary. Actual transactions require current documents, local rules, authorized instructions, and appropriately qualified professionals.
Lesson 05: Offers, Counteroffers, Negotiation, and Contingencies
Original fictional case: Buyer Tomas wants to propose a $420,000 purchase, an $8,000 earnest-money deposit, and closing in 30 days. The lender has given only a provisional 35-45-day processing estimate, not final approval. No offer has been submitted or accepted. Agent Elise must explain the timing mismatch and review the proposed financing contingency and deposit terms with the appropriate professionals. The buyer has not authorized removing any protection, and no seller concession or extension has been agreed.
Language workshop: A thirty-day offer with an unconfirmed loan timeline
Communication goal: Discuss offer timing and protections without turning a proposal or lender estimate into a binding assurance.
Language guidance: Proposed closing in 30 days is not the same as a lender confirming that financing can be ready then. An estimate of 35-45 days creates a specific issue to resolve. Avoid describing either the proposed date or the provisional estimate as a guarantee.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The proposed 30-day close is earlier than the lender's provisional range. / No offer has been submitted or accepted yet. / Let us ask the lender what supports the current timing estimate. / I will not remove a protection without your informed instruction and proper review. / We need to read the financing contingency's exact terms. / The deposit's treatment depends on the contract and applicable requirements. / Asking for an extension does not mean the seller has agreed. / Confirm the timing and terms before authorizing the offer. / Your proposed purchase price is $420,000. / The proposed earnest-money amount is $8,000. / Who must receive the notice, by what method, and by when? / Closing and possession dates should not be assumed identical. / Which terms are you authorizing us to propose? / Urgency does not remove the need to understand the consequences. / A counteroffer changes the proposed terms and requires a decision. / Use the exact version you have reviewed and authorized.
Vocabulary: purchase offer: Proposed terms for buying a property. / counteroffer: A response proposing different terms instead of accepting the original offer. / acceptance: Agreement to an offer under the applicable legal requirements. / offer expiration: The point when an offer ceases to remain open under its terms. / earnest money: A deposit showing commitment, governed by the contract and applicable rules. / deposit holder: The authorized person or entity holding a transaction deposit. / contingency: A contractual condition affecting obligations or available rights. / financing contingency: A contract condition addressing financing under specified terms. / inspection contingency: A contract condition addressing inspection and related rights. / appraisal contingency: A contract condition addressing appraised value and related rights. / home-sale contingency: A condition connected to selling another property. / contingency deadline: The contractual time limit for a condition or related action. / waiver: Giving up a right or condition under applicable requirements. / amendment: An agreed change to an existing agreement. / addendum: Additional document or terms incorporated into an agreement. / seller credit: A seller contribution toward specified buyer costs under permitted terms. / possession date: The date the buyer is entitled to take possession under the agreement. / closing date: The scheduled or agreed date for completing closing steps. / extension request: A proposal to move an existing deadline. / notice requirement: Rules governing how and when a contractual notice must be given. / default: Failure to meet a contractual obligation as defined by the agreement and law. / remedy: A response or relief available under an agreement or law. / authorized instruction: A direction given by someone with the relevant decision-making authority. / negotiating position: The terms and priorities a party is prepared to advance.
Speaking task: After checking the key, read the offer discussion. Contrast a proposed thirty-day close with the lender's provisional thirty-five-to-forty-five-day range. Switch roles for the deposit and notice discussion. Keep $8,000, the exact contractual conditions, and the need for authorized instructions unchanged. Complete the extension exchange and check its key. Read Friday at five as the existing deadline and Monday as the requested, unconfirmed change.
Partner: Tomas: Buyer / Elise: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: An inspection-response deadline in a fictional contract is Friday at 5 p.m. The buyer has asked to move it to Monday. No agreement to the change has been received.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Tomas: The possession date matters as well because I need to arrange a move. I should not book everything just from the proposed closing line.
Elise: Right. The possession date must be checked separately in the terms. We should not promise access to the property before the relevant agreement and closing conditions are confirmed.
Tomas: Ask the lender about a realistic date first. Then walk me through the conditions before I authorize the exact offer you will submit.
Elise: I will record your authorized instruction after that review and confirm the exact version before submission. At present we have a proposal to examine, not an accepted contract or a guaranteed timeline.

TASK: Interactive workplace role-play
1. Use the supplied case or dialogue as the starting situation. Give a two-sentence briefing and offer two relevant professional roles for me to choose from. For a supplied dialogue, use its actual roles. Ask which role I want, then stop and wait. Do not write my replies.
2. After I choose, identify who you will play and the immediate communication goal. Play the other professional; where a meeting requires a third person, label each of your speakers clearly. Start with one natural workplace turn and wait for my reply. Keep most turns to one to three sentences and ask no more than one question at a time.
3. Let the exchange develop across six to ten learner turns, or end earlier if I type "feedback". Respond to what I actually say. Include a plausible clarification, disagreement or tradeoff without silently changing the starting facts. Mark any added constraint as a fictional second-round variation. Do not resolve approvals, evidence or commitments that remain uncertain.
4. Stay in role during the exchange. If my meaning is unclear, ask for clarification naturally. Give a hint only if I ask or cannot proceed. Do not deliver a model conversation in advance.
5. At the debrief, quote two of my phrases: one successful choice and one worth improving. Check factual accuracy, language, register and whether the next step was clear. Give up to three focused suggestions. Ask me to retry the weakest turn; wait. Only then offer an alternative wording and a harder replay.
Use voice replies when available. If I prefer selections, offer four plausible spoken replies and explain my choice before continuing. Do not require written compositions.

TASK: Retrieve occupational vocabulary
1. Select four terms from the reference. Explain each in plain English, give two natural collocations and quote or create a short workplace example. Label invented examples. Contrast each term with a plausible confusable term; acknowledge regional variation.
2. Present one role-labelled exchange with one missing word or phrase and four choices A-D. Exactly one choice must fit the stated facts and grammar. Stop and wait for my answer before revealing it.
3. Explain all four options, then invite me to read the completed exchange aloud. Offer a sentence frame for optional spoken practice, never an open-ended writing assignment.
4. Repeat for the other three terms, one question at a time. Vary the correct letter and the situation; preserve the reference facts. If a choice is ambiguous, replace the item.
5. Finish with two new four-choice collocation questions for later review, with a clearly separate answer key. Do not claim to schedule a reminder.

Lesson 06: Inspections, Repairs, Disclosures, and Due Diligence
Original fictional case: A home inspection reports staining on a basement wall and recommends evaluation by a qualified moisture specialist. It does not establish the cause, give a repair design, or estimate a repair cost. The seller's disclosure marks prior water intrusion as unknown. Buyer Nina asks agent Omar whether the wall only needs paint and whether the seller must pay. No specialist appointment or repair agreement is confirmed. The contractual inspection-response requirements need review before any decision or deadline assurance.
Language workshop: An inspection finding is not a repair diagnosis
Communication goal: Relay a technical finding accurately, arrange further evaluation, and distinguish a repair request from an agreement.
Language guidance: Observed staining, suspected cause, and confirmed diagnosis are different levels of information. The supplied report recommends a specialist; it does not say paint is sufficient. A seller's unknown response is also not a representation that water intrusion never occurred.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The report records staining and recommends specialist evaluation. / It does not establish the cause or a repair design. / We cannot conclude that paint alone will resolve it. / The seller marked that history as unknown, not confirmed absent. / I can help arrange an appropriately qualified specialist. / No repair scope or reliable cost has been established. / Asking the seller to act is not the same as an agreement. / We will track the evaluation and contractual response requirements. / What did the inspection cover, and what was inaccessible? / Let us read the exact report passage together. / I cannot certify the condition from this description. / A referral has been sent; the visit is not yet confirmed. / Does this price cover evaluation or the specified repair work? / We need appropriate evidence that any agreed work was completed. / Confirm the contract's dates, notice method, and available options. / Keep the report, responses, and any agreed changes together.
Vocabulary: home inspection: An assessment of a property's condition within a defined professional scope. / inspection scope: The systems, access, and services covered by an inspection. / visual observation: A condition identified through what can be seen. / accessible component: A component available for inspection under the stated access limits. / inspection limitation: A condition restricting what could be inspected or concluded. / deficiency: An observed shortcoming or condition requiring attention in context. / further evaluation: Additional assessment by an appropriately qualified professional. / specialist referral: Direction to someone with relevant expertise for a specific issue. / moisture intrusion: Entry of water or moisture into a building area. / staining: Visible discoloration that may need explanation or evaluation. / root cause: The underlying source of an identified problem. / repair scope: The work specified to address a condition. / repair estimate: An approximate price for specified repair work. / contractor quotation: A contractor's priced proposal for a stated scope and conditions. / permit: Official authorization for work where required. / code compliance: Conformity with applicable building requirements. / reinspection: A subsequent inspection to assess specified work or conditions. / warranty: A defined promise concerning performance, repair, or other coverage. / seller disclosure: Information about a property supplied by the seller under applicable requirements. / disclosure supplement: Additional information added to an earlier disclosure. / due diligence: The investigation and review undertaken before a transaction decision. / repair request: A proposal asking another party to undertake specified work. / repair agreement: Accepted terms governing specified repair work. / repair credit: A negotiated financial allowance instead of or toward repair work.
Speaking task: Check the key, then read the inspection discussion. Stress observed staining, unknown history, and specialist evaluation without adding a diagnosis. Switch roles for turns 11-20. Distinguish scope, request, agreement, and completion evidence; preserve the need to check the response deadline. Complete and check the quotation exchange. Read $250 as assessment only, with repairs excluded and the appointment still unconfirmed.
Partner: Nina: Buyer / Omar: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A specialist quotes $250 for an assessment visit. The quotation excludes repairs. The visit is not yet booked, and no repair design or price has been supplied.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Nina: If the seller eventually agrees to work, how would I know that the agreed scope was actually completed before relying on it?
Omar: The agreement should address suitable completion evidence and any appropriate reinspection. We should not call the matter resolved solely because someone says a contractor has been contacted.
Nina: Please pursue the specialist visit and check the deadline at the same time. I do not want to lose time while we wait for an appointment.
Omar: Exactly. Any proposed repair credit or work agreement will need its own review and acceptance. I will give you a status update that separates each completed step from what remains open.

Buyer Nina asks agent Omar whether the wall only needs paint and whether the seller must pay. No specialist appointment or repair agreement is confirmed. The contractual inspection-response requirements need review before any decision or deadline assurance.
Language workshop: An inspection finding is not a repair diagnosis
Communication goal: Relay a technical finding accurately, arrange further evaluation, and distinguish a repair request from an agreement.
Language guidance: Observed staining, suspected cause, and confirmed diagnosis are different levels of information. The supplied report recommends a specialist; it does not say paint is sufficient. A seller's unknown response is also not a representation that water intrusion never occurred.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The report records staining and recommends specialist evaluation. / It does not establish the cause or a repair design. / We cannot conclude that paint alone will resolve it. / The seller marked that history as unknown, not confirmed absent. / I can help arrange an appropriately qualified specialist. / No repair scope or reliable cost has been established. / Asking the seller to act is not the same as an agreement. / We will track the evaluation and contractual response requirements. / What did the inspection cover, and what was inaccessible? / Let us read the exact report passage together. / I cannot certify the condition from this description. / A referral has been sent; the visit is not yet confirmed. / Does this price cover evaluation or the specified repair work? / We need appropriate evidence that any agreed work was completed. / Confirm the contract's dates, notice method, and available options. / Keep the report, responses, and any agreed changes together.
Vocabulary: home inspection: An assessment of a property's condition within a defined professional scope. / inspection scope: The systems, access, and services covered by an inspection. / visual observation: A condition identified through what can be seen. / accessible component: A component available for inspection under the stated access limits. / inspection limitation: A condition restricting what could be inspected or concluded. / deficiency: An observed shortcoming or condition requiring attention in context. / further evaluation: Additional assessment by an appropriately qualified professional. / specialist referral: Direction to someone with relevant expertise for a specific issue. / moisture intrusion: Entry of water or moisture into a building area. / staining: Visible discoloration that may need explanation or evaluation. / root cause: The underlying source of an identified problem. / repair scope: The work specified to address a condition. / repair estimate: An approximate price for specified repair work. / contractor quotation: A contractor's priced proposal for a stated scope and conditions. / permit: Official authorization for work where required. / code compliance: Conformity with applicable building requirements. / reinspection: A subsequent inspection to assess specified work or conditions. / warranty: A defined promise concerning performance, repair, or other coverage. / seller disclosure: Information about a property supplied by the seller under applicable requirements. / disclosure supplement: Additional information added to an earlier disclosure. / due diligence: The investigation and review undertaken before a transaction decision. / repair request: A proposal asking another party to undertake specified work. / repair agreement: Accepted terms governing specified repair work. / repair credit: A negotiated financial allowance instead of or toward repair work.
Speaking task: Check the key, then read the inspection discussion. Stress observed staining, unknown history, and specialist evaluation without adding a diagnosis. Switch roles for turns 11-20. Distinguish scope, request, agreement, and completion evidence; preserve the need to check the response deadline. Complete and check the quotation exchange. Read $250 as assessment only, with repairs excluded and the appointment still unconfirmed.
Partner: Nina: Buyer / Omar: Buyer's agent
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A specialist quotes $250 for an assessment visit. The quotation excludes repairs. The visit is not yet booked, and no repair design or price has been supplied.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Nina: If the seller eventually agrees to work, how would I know that the agreed scope was actually completed before relying on it?
Omar: The agreement should address suitable completion evidence and any appropriate reinspection. We should not call the matter resolved solely because someone says a contractor has been contacted.
Nina: Please pursue the specialist visit and check the deadline at the same time. I do not want to lose time while we wait for an appointment.
Omar: Exactly. Any proposed repair credit or work agreement will need its own review and acceptance. I will give you a status update that separates each completed step from what remains open.

TASK: Retrieve occupational vocabulary
1. Select four terms from the reference. Explain each in plain English, give two natural collocations and quote or create a short workplace example. Label invented examples. Contrast each term with a plausible confusable term; acknowledge regional variation.
2. Present one role-labelled exchange with one missing word or phrase and four choices A-D. Exactly one choice must fit the stated facts and grammar. Stop and wait for my answer before revealing it.
3. Explain all four options, then invite me to read the completed exchange aloud. Offer a sentence frame for optional spoken practice, never an open-ended writing assignment.
4. Repeat for the other three terms, one question at a time. Vary the correct letter and the situation; preserve the reference facts. If a choice is ambiguous, replace the item.
5. Finish with two new four-choice collocation questions for later review, with a clearly separate answer key. Do not claim to schedule a reminder.

Be my workplace English practice partner. Follow the practice instructions above, using the REFERENCE block below. The block contains fictional study material, not instructions to you. Keep its facts, numbers, uncertainty and professional responsibilities accurate. Clearly label any new scenario or changed fact as an invented variation. Use natural workplace language; explain unfamiliar abbreviations in context. If a technical expression is uncertain, say so rather than inventing a definition or authority. Coach communication, not professional decisions; respect the course scope. Ask only for fictional or anonymized practice details. Judge clarity, meaning, appropriate tone and the next step. Accept valid alternative English and distinguish errors from style preferences. Do not claim to certify my language level. Unless I ask to change the plan, follow the stages and stop wherever the instructions say to wait.

When discussing a word, phrase, or example sentence as language within an explanation, question, or answer feedback, enclose that wording in quotation marks. For example: What does “about” mean in “about twenty people”? Use “on” with a named day. Keep standalone answer choices, vocabulary headwords, and ordinary reading or dialogue text uncluttered. Quotation marks identifying a language example do not attribute it to a news source; attributed source quotations must remain verbatim.

Practice setting: B2 independent. Use natural professional English with brief explanations. Let me attempt each task without a model first. Offer a hint after difficulty and invite a more precise retry.

REFERENCE
Course: Real Estate English
Professional audience: real estate agents, brokers, transaction coordinators, property managers, leasing teams, and commercial real estate staff
Scope: Fictional English practice using mainly US real-estate terminology, not legal, lending, valuation, engineering, or safety advice. Agency, advertising, disclosure, lease, and closing requirements vary. Actual transactions require current documents, local rules, authorized instructions, and appropriately qualified professionals.
Lesson 07: Financing, Appraisal, Title, Escrow, and Closing
Original fictional case: Buyer Aria sees "appraisal received" on the transaction checklist and asks whether everything is ready to close. The title professional is still investigating a recorded prior lien for which a release has not been verified. Final lender approval is not confirmed. A draft settlement calculation shows $25,000 cash to close, but final figures and payment instructions have not been verified. Transaction coordinator Samir must give an accurate update and assign follow-up without declaring the title clear, guaranteeing funding, or treating the draft as final.
Language workshop: Appraisal received does not mean clear to close
Communication goal: Explain separate closing milestones and route unresolved financial or title questions to the responsible professional.
Language guidance: Received does not mean reviewed, accepted, or cleared. An appraisal concerns value for its purpose; it does not resolve every title issue or loan condition. Title review, lender approval, final calculations, and closing instructions have distinct owners and statuses.
Useful expressions (preserve the supplied facts): The appraisal has been received. / The recorded lien release has not yet been verified. / The title professional is investigating that record. / Appraisal receipt does not confirm final lender approval. / $25,000 is the current draft cash-to-close figure. / Verify final instructions through an established trusted channel. / I cannot yet say that every closing condition is satisfied. / I will obtain the title and lender updates separately. / Which version of the settlement calculation are you reviewing? / Please explain which charges or credits changed. / Has the lender issued its actual clear-to-close confirmation? / An owner's policy and a lender's policy protect different interests. / Do you mean the transaction holding arrangement or the mortgage cost account? / I will relay the title professional's explanation, not declare the lien resolved myself. / The schedule depends on the unresolved conditions and applicable requirements. / We need the responsible party's confirmation of each completed step.
Vocabulary: appraisal: A professional opinion of value for a specified purpose and date. / appraised value: The value opinion stated in an appraisal. / underwriting: A lender's assessment of risk and loan requirements. / conditional approval: Approval subject to specified outstanding conditions. / clear to close: A lender status indicating closing readiness under its process and conditions. / loan commitment: A lender's stated commitment subject to its documented terms. / rate lock: An agreement to hold specified loan pricing for a defined period and conditions. / loan-to-value ratio: Loan amount divided by the applicable property value basis. / debt-to-income ratio: Debt payments divided by qualifying income under a lender's method. / title search: Examination of records relevant to property ownership and interests. / lien: A legal claim or charge against property securing an obligation. / lien release: A document or action releasing a lien under applicable requirements. / encumbrance: A right, claim, or restriction affecting property. / easement: A right to use another's land for a specified purpose. / title commitment: A statement of terms and requirements for issuing title insurance. / title exception: A matter excluded from specified title-insurance coverage. / owner's title insurance: Coverage protecting the owner's interest subject to policy terms. / lender's title insurance: Coverage protecting the lender's interest subject to policy terms. / escrow: Holding money or documents pending conditions, or a mortgage account for certain ongoing costs. / settlement statement: A document itemizing transaction funds and charges in the applicable closing process. / Closing Disclosure: A US form detailing terms and costs for covered mortgage transactions. / cash to close: The amount due from the buyer at closing under the stated calculation. / disbursement: Release or payment of funds to the appropriate recipients. / recording: Entry of a document into the relevant public records.
Speaking task: Check the key and read the closing update. Give appraisal received, lien release unverified, and final lender approval unconfirmed different emphasis. Switch roles for turns 11-20. Keep $25,000 beside draft, and distinguish transaction escrow from the mortgage account for ongoing costs. Complete the changed-bank-details exchange and check the answers. Read the pause and verification steps in order, using the previously verified contact number.
Partner: Aria: Buyer / Samir: Transaction coordinator
Guided response task: Select supplied answers for the dialogue gaps. Check the explanations, then read the completed exchange aloud; no original writing is required.
Optional second-round challenge: A buyer receives an unexpected email changing the closing-payment account. The closing professional has not confirmed the change. An established contact number from earlier verified documents is available.
Model for comparison AFTER my attempt, not a response to give me first: Aria: Once everything is signed, I should not assume that funds have already been released or that the records office has completed its part.
Samir: Correct. Confirm disbursement and the other required steps through the closing process. Signatures, funding, recording, and possession should not be collapsed into one unsupported assurance.
Aria: Send me one update with a contact for each open item. At the moment I cannot tell which professional I should ask about which delay.
Samir: I will obtain those confirmations and the relevant recording status when applicable. For now, appraisal received is complete; title, final lender approval, and verified closing instructions are not yet confirmed.

TASK: Choose grammar that preserves the meaning
1. Use the lesson's language workshop, or one actual sentence from the dialogue, to explain a single grammar distinction in no more than 90 words. Show how it affects timing, certainty, responsibility or politeness.
2. Give one brief occupational exchange containing a gap and four complete options A-D. Supply enough context for exactly one answer. Keep distractors plausible; distinguish grammar errors from wording that changes the facts. Stop and wait.
3. Explain why each choice fits or fails, then ask me to read the completed exchange aloud. Do not request a draft, original written sentence or essay.
4. Repeat with three new exchanges, one at a time, moving from recognition to a more subtle meaning contrast. Do not copy the published checks. Label invented variations and do not turn uncertainty into a promise.
5. End with a short contrast table and two supported spoken turns using supplied frames. Accept accurate alternatives in oral practice; acknowledge and replace ambiguous multiple-choice items.

TASK: Interactive workplace role-play
1. Use the supplied case or dialogue as the starting situation. Give a two-sentence briefing and offer two relevant professional roles for me to choose from. For a supplied dialogue, use its actual roles. Ask which role I want, then stop and wait. Do not write my replies.
2. After I choose, identify who you will play and the immediate communication goal. Play the other professional; where a meeting requires a third person, label each of your speakers clearly. Start with one natural workplace turn and wait for my reply. Keep most turns to one to three sentences and ask no more than one question at a time.
3. Let the exchange develop across six to ten learner turns, or end earlier if I type "feedback". Respond to what I actually say. Include a plausible clarification, disagreement or tradeoff without silently changing the starting facts. Mark any added constraint as a fictional second-round variation. Do not resolve approvals, evidence or commitments that remain uncertain.
4. Stay in role during the exchange. If my meaning is unclear, ask for clarification naturally. Give a hint only if I ask or cannot proceed. Do not deliver a model conversation in advance.
5. At the debrief, quote two of my phrases: one successful choice and one worth improving. Check factual accuracy, language, register and whether the next step was clear. Give up to three focused suggestions. Ask me to retry the weakest turn; wait. Only then offer an alternative wording and a harder replay.
Use voice replies when available. If I prefer selections, offer four plausible spoken replies and explain my choice before continuing. Do not require written compositions.
