One complex issue, several audiences
Keep one set of facts stable as purpose and register change.
Define the common source before you adapt it
The final C2 case concerns a former station waiting room in fictional Borgofaro. It is due to open tomorrow as a reading room. New panes are in place; shelves occupy the old ticket counter position; the kept bench is near the window, though the person who moved it is unknown. Marta wrote a panel about the old and new uses. Silvio found a blue lost-object notebook behind an old timetable cupboard; Marta keeps it in a box while display and custody are considered. There are no observed visitor numbers or reactions yet. These facts do not change with audience. Write a two-column note: confirmed observation or open question. Never turn an open question into an answer just to make a message shorter.
- La sala aprirà domani come spazio di lettura.· The room will open tomorrow as a reading space.
- La panchina è vicino alla finestra; non sappiamo chi l’abbia spostata.· The bench is by the window; we do not know who moved it.
- Il quaderno è nella scatola; l’esposizione non è decisa.· The notebook is in its box; display is undecided.
- Le reazioni dei futuri visitatori non sono ancora note.· Future visitors’ reactions are not yet known.
Change the frame, not the evidence
Prepare three first sentences from that common source. A public sign needs the next useful fact first: when the room opens. A specialist note to the project team can lead with the unresolved notebook decision and distinguish finding, custody and display. A short decision brief can lead with the choice that remains open and its known constraints, without inventing a vote or rule. Each version may omit irrelevant detail, but none may imply that omission proves the opposite. Name the reader and the action you want that reader to take before you choose register, syntax or metaphor.
- Per chi entra: «La sala di lettura aprirà domani».· For entrants: “The reading room will open tomorrow.”
- Per il gruppo: «Il ritrovamento non equivale a una decisione di esporre».· For the team: “Finding it does not amount to a decision to display it.”
- Per chi decide: «Resta da stabilire se e come mostrare il quaderno».· For decision-makers: “It remains to decide whether and how to display the notebook.”
- Per ogni pubblico: «Non abbiamo dati sui visitatori».· For every audience: “We have no visitor data.”
