Prediction briefing
Explain the Valverde sample and a conditional plan to a citizens’ group.
Give a three-minute public briefing
You are Paola, the analyst in the fictional case. A citizens’ group has read the headline that every Valverde bus will be on time in 2040. Speak for three minutes to correct it. Give the four-week sample size, the 78-versus-63 result, and the five-minute rule. Explain one limit of the observation. Then name two proposed actions and state that funding and an access review are pending. Your goal is a clear, useful forecast, not a confident slogan.
- Abbiamo osservato cento partenze per ciascuna di due linee.· We observed one hundred departures on each of two lines.
- La linea A ha rispettato la soglia in 78 casi; la B in 63.· Line A met the threshold in 78 cases; B did so in 63.
- Non abbiamo misurato la causa di questa differenza.· We did not measure the cause of this difference.
- I display e la prova semaforica restano proposte.· The displays and traffic-light test remain proposals.
Answer one difficult follow-up
Ask a partner to choose one question: “Will the displays make buses punctual?”, “What will the city have completed by 2030?”, or “Why is the technical sheet missing?” Answer without a script. Use one future-perfect sentence for a sequence and one future form for a tentative inference, but label each use. When you do not know a cause, say what check would help. End with a concrete next measurement.
- Se arriveranno i fondi, entro il 2030 avremo avviato una prova.· If funding arrives, by 2030 we will have started a trial.
- La scheda sarà ancora in revisione, ma devo verificarlo.· The sheet is probably still under review, but I must check that.
- Un display informa i passeggeri; non rende puntuale un autobus da solo.· A display informs passengers; it does not make a bus punctual by itself.
- Confrontiamo periodi simili prima e dopo la prova.· Let us compare similar periods before and after the trial.
