Service conversations often contain a choice, a condition, and a final confirmation. The first available time may not be the booked time. A person can inspect a problem without agreeing to repair it. These worksheets use ordinary situations to practise those distinctions. The examples are invented teaching text. They do not describe the rules of a particular business or country.

How to work through this section

Use a record with three headings: requested, offered, and agreed. Fill only the fields that the exchange supports. Leave unknown information blank. After the appointment sheet, try the parcel and repair sheets, which require you to track a condition. Finish with a return and an invitation, where the next useful response matters as much as a number.

Every key explains the original written scene only. Use the real-video task to build a fresh record. Keep a question mark beside missing information. It is better to leave a price or a person's intention unknown than to add a detail the speaker never supplied.

Five worksheets, in practice order

  1. Book an appointment in Spanish: offered time versus agreed timeKeep the booked slot separate from the first available slot.
  2. A parcel delivery in Spanish: permission, condition, and fallbackBuild a small decision tree from a delivery exchange.
  3. A repair estimate in Spanish: inspection is not permission to repairTrack a cost limit and the action that still needs approval.
  4. Return an item in Spanish: exchange, refund, and missing evidenceIdentify the agreed return outcome without adding a legal conclusion.
  5. A Spanish invitation: proposal, counter-offer, and meeting pointWrite the agreed plan after a counter-offer.

Use a recording, not a memorised answer

Try the text task first. Then select a recording with the same kind of decision, not necessarily the same setting or wording. A counter-offer can occur in a shop, a booking call, or a social plan. Your record should follow what happens in the chosen clip.

We make Jibber Jabber. Its video tools can support the caption-checking step. Read our Spanish listening guide for the wider practice context. The workbook's answer keys are not built into the app.
