Language Analysis

·         Level of formality/register: Formal. The interviewer and applicant use polite expressions such as “Good morning,” “Thank you for the opportunity,” and “I would like to work in this company.”

·         Vocabulary: Professional terms like position, experience, skills, and responsibilities are used appropriately.

·         Grammar: Sentences are mostly in the present simple and present perfect, which is suitable for interviews.

·         Pragmatic use: Both participants show respect through polite expressions, clear turn-taking, and culturally appropriate behavior (greetings, thanking, and formal closings).

Reflection

The language used in the job interview scenario was appropriate for a formal context. Both the interviewer and the candidate used polite expressions, which helped create a respectful atmosphere. The vocabulary was professional and relevant to the situation, allowing the message to be clear and precise. One of the strengths observed was the correct use of grammar structures, such as the present perfect to talk about work experience (“I have worked in a call center for two years”) and modal verbs to express willingness (“I would like to join your company”).

However, there are some areas to improve. For example, the candidate sometimes used short answers instead of complete sentences, which can sound less confident. Also, the vocabulary could be expanded to include more specific skills or achievements. Additionally, improving pronunciation and intonation during greetings and farewells could make the communication more natural.

In conclusion, the scenario demonstrates effective use of formal language in a professional context. By expanding vocabulary, using complete sentences, and improving pronunciation, the communication would become clearer and more persuasive, increasing the chances of success in a real interview.

Specific Examples and Suggestions

“I work here.” →  “I have worked here for two years.”

“Yes, I like.” →  “Yes, I really like working with people.”

Scenario 2: Doctor’s Appointment (Neutral–Formal context)

# data[].attributes.body
Description of the Scenario

This scenario shows a conversation between a patient and a doctor during a medical appointment. The patient explains the symptoms, and the doctor gives recommendations and asks questions to make a diagnosis.

Characters:

1.       Doctor (Dr. Gómez)

2.       Patient (Daniel)

Dialogue

Dr. Gómez: Good afternoon. How are you feeling today?

Daniel: Good afternoon, doctor. I’ve been feeling sick since Monday.

Dr. Gómez: I see. What symptoms do you have?

Daniel: I have a headache, a sore throat, and a little fever. I also feel very tired.

Dr. Gómez: How long have you had the sore throat?

Daniel: For about three days. It started as a mild irritation, but now it hurts more.

Dr. Gómez: Do you have any allergies or take any medication?

Daniel: No, I don’t have allergies, and I’m not taking any medication.

Dr. Gómez: All right. I’m going to check your throat and temperature.

Daniel: Okay.

Dr. Gómez: You have a mild infection. I’ll prescribe you some antibiotics and recommend rest.

Daniel: Thank you, doctor. How many times should I take the medicine?

Dr. Gómez: Twice a day for seven days. Also, drink plenty of water and avoid cold drinks.

Daniel: I understand. Thank you very much.

Dr. Gómez: You’re welcome. Get well soon.

Daniel: Thank you. Have a nice day.

Language Analysis

·         Level of formality/register: Formal-neutral. Polite expressions such as “Good afternoon, doctor,” and “Could you please explain what I have?” are used.

·         Vocabulary: Health-related words like headache, sore throat, dizzy, and prescription are correctly applied.

·         Grammar: The patient uses present perfect (“I have felt sick since Monday”) and present continuous (“I am coughing a lot”) appropriately.

·         Pragmatic use: The patient shows politeness, and the doctor uses clear, simple language to ensure understanding.

Reflection

The doctor’s appointment scenario shows appropriate and clear use of language for a medical context. One of its strengths is the use of health-related vocabulary, which helps the doctor understand the patient’s situation. The patient also uses polite expressions, which is important to maintain a respectful and professional interaction. Another positive aspect is the use of grammar structures that describe ongoing or recent conditions, such as the present perfect and present continuous.

However, some sentences could be improved for better accuracy. For example, instead of saying “I feel sick since Monday,” the correct form is “I have felt sick since Monday.” The patient could also provide more precise details about the symptoms (e.g., intensity, frequency), which would make the conversation more effective.

In conclusion, the scenario demonstrates good language use, but it can be improved by increasing precision in vocabulary and grammar. This would ensure clearer communication between patient and doctor, which is essential in medical contexts.

Specific Examples and Suggestions

“I feel sick since Monday.” →  “I have felt sick since Monday.”

“That thing in my throat.” →  “I feel a burning sensation in my throat.”

Level:A1-A2

Context:High school student

Class Topic: There is there are

Teacher
start of class Good morning, my dear students! How are you today?

Students answer
All:
We’re fine, teacher, thank you!

Teacher presents the topic

Teacher:
Today, we are going to learn how to use “There is” and “There are.”
I’ll explain the topic using simple and practical examples. After the explanation, we’ll have some questions and a class debate.
Are you ready?

Students answer
All
Yes, teacher!

Teacher explains the theory with examples

Teacher
lisen carefully

“There is” y “There are” it is used to say that there is something or someome.

the difference is simple  :

Ø  “There is” used for singular (una sola cosa).

Ø  “There are” used for  plural (dos o más cosas).

Ejemplos:

Ø  There is a pencil on the table. (Hay un lápiz en la mesa.)
is used  “There is” porque es solo un lápiz.

Ø  There are five dogs in the garden. (Hay cinco perros en el jardín.)
Se usa “There are” porque hay más de uno

Guys do you have any questions up to this point?

Student answer

student 1 (Carlos):
Profe, si quiero decir: ¿Hay agua en la botella?, ¿use “There is” o “There are”?

Teacher if I want to say there is water in the bottle?

student 2 (Lucía):
i think it is  There are, but I am no sure

student 3 (Juanito):

I think it is There is, because its just  bottle water

Teacher responds with explanation

Teacher
¡good questions, Carlos!
the correct answer is:  There is.
very good , Juanito, you are rigth

When we say
“Is there water in the bottle?”, We are talking about a single bottle

, por eso usamos “There is.”

If we had several bottles for example
“How much water is there in those three bottles?”
in this case we use “There are”,because we are talking about 3 objects

New practice question

Teacher
Now a new question for you:

How would you say "There are six cats in the garden"?

Should we use "There is" or "There are"?

Students respond

Student 4 (Paula):

I say There is.

Student 5 (Pablo):

No, teacher, I think it's There are.

Teacher corrects and clarifies

Teacher:

The correct answer is: ✅ There are.

Very well, Pablo.

Remember:

There are is used when talking about more than one thing.

In this case, there are six cats, so we use There are.

Class Summary (Closing)

Teacher:

Excellent work today, kids.

Remember the rule?

Ø  There is ➡ Singular (one thing)

Ø  There are ➡ Plural (more than one thing)

See you next class for more practice. Don't forget to review at home!

Description: A customer calls Amazon to ask about a delayed package.

Characters:

Customer (Ms. Lopez)

Amazon Agent (Mr. Brown)

Dialogue (in English):

Agent: Good morning, thank you for calling Amazon Customer Service. How can I assist you today?

Customer: Good morning. I ordered a Kindle last week, but it hasn’t arrived yet.

Agent: I’m sorry to hear that. Could you please give me your order number?

Customer: Yes, it’s #54321.

Agent: Thank you. I see your order was delayed due to weather conditions. According to the tracking information, it should arrive tomorrow.

Customer: I see. Thank you for checking that for me.

Agent: You’re welcome. I’ll also send you an email update with the tracking link. Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Customer: No, that’s all. Have a great day.

Agent: You too, thank you for choosing Amazon.

Language Analysis:

Register: Formal-neutral, appropriate for professional service.

Vocabulary: Customer service terms (order number, tracking, package, delayed).

Grammar: Mostly accurate; use of modal verbs (Could you please…).

Pragmatics: Politeness is maintained throughout; culturally appropriate greetings and closings.

Reflection:

This Amazon customer service scenario demonstrates effective and polite communication in a professional setting. The agent begins with a courteous greeting and asks for details using the expression “Could you please…,” which shows both respect and professionalism. The vocabulary is appropriate for the context, including words such as “order number,” “tracking,” and “delayed,” which are common in online shopping situations. The customer also responds politely, which makes the interaction smooth and respectful.

One of the main strengths of this dialogue is clarity. The agent provides information directly and checks the order status, which builds trust with the customer. Another strength is the addition of an email update, showing good customer care.

However, there are opportunities for improvement. The agent could have expressed more empathy to make the customer feel valued. For example, instead of only saying “I’m sorry to hear that,” the agent might add “I understand this must be frustrating.” Additionally, the customer’s answers are short, which makes the conversation feel less natural. Expanding responses, such as “Thank you, I was worried because I need the Kindle for my classes,” would add depth to the exchange.

In conclusion, the scenario is professional and accurate, but it would benefit from more empathy, detailed responses, and slightly more natural interaction. These changes would improve the effectiveness of communication and customer satisfaction.

Examples & Suggestions:

Agent: “It should arrive tomorrow.” → “I understand the delay is frustrating. According to the tracking system, it should arrive tomorrow, and I’ll make sure you receive updates by email.”

Customer: “Thank you.” → “Thank you, I really appreciate your help.”

Description: A passenger checks in for an Avianca international flight.

Characters:

Avianca Staff (Ms. Johnson)

Passenger (Mr. Pérez)

Dialogue (in English):

Staff: Good afternoon, welcome to Avianca. May I have your passport and ticket, please?

Passenger: Good afternoon. Here they are.

Staff: Thank you. Are you checking any luggage today?

Passenger: Yes, I have one suitcase.

Staff: All right. Please place it on the scale. The bag weighs 21 kilos, which is within the allowance. Do you prefer a window or an aisle seat?

Passenger: A window seat, please.

Staff: Here is your boarding pass. Boarding starts at 5:00 p.m. at Gate 12. Please be at the gate 30 minutes before boarding.

Passenger: Thank you very much for your help.

Staff: You’re welcome. Have a pleasant flight with Avianca.

Passenger: Thanks, goodbye.

Language Analysis:

Register: Formal-neutral, professional.

Vocabulary: Travel terms (boarding pass, gate, luggage allowance, suitcase).

Grammar: Correct use of present simple; concise and clear.

Pragmatics: Polite requests and appropriate cultural behavior.

Reflection:

The Avianca airport check-in scenario represents a real-life travel interaction where clarity and politeness are essential. The staff member uses accurate expressions such as “May I have your passport and ticket, please?” which demonstrates both formality and courtesy. The vocabulary is well-chosen for the context, including “boarding pass,” “gate,” and “luggage allowance.” The use of polite requests and clear instructions makes the communication effective and professional.

One of the strengths of this dialogue is the inclusion of specific travel details, such as the exact gate number and boarding time, which ensures the passenger understands what to do next. Another strength is the politeness expressed in both greetings and farewells.

Nevertheless, there are areas for improvement. The passenger’s answers are very brief, making the conversation less realistic. For instance, instead of only saying “Yes, I have one suitcase,” the passenger could add “Yes, I have one suitcase with fragile items.” This would add authenticity and context. Similarly, the staff member could provide more detailed instructions, for example: “Please go through security after check-in and arrive at the gate at least 30 minutes before boarding.”

Adding small details would make the scenario more natural and closer to real-life communication. In summary, the interaction is effective, polite, and professional, but adding elaboration and details would make it even more realistic and helpful.

Examples & Suggestions:

Passenger: “Yes, I have one suitcase.” → “Yes, I have one suitcase with fragile items inside.”

Staff: “Boarding starts at 5:00 p.m.” → “Boarding starts at 5:00 p.m. at Gate 12. Please go through security and be at the gate 30 minutes earlier.”

Feedback on Johan Steven Rodriguez's scenarios from Jenny Constanza Madrigal.

# data[].attributes.body
Colleague, these scenarios provide very important information that is experienced daily. The first scenario shows great respect for the client, demonstrating clarity and professionalism. She was an honest person who cleared up misunderstandings, knew how to listen to the client, and remained calm and courteous, answering the client's questions.

# data[].attributes.body
In the following expressions we observe a formal language

Ø  “Good day”

Ø  “Mrs. Laura Cardenas”

Ø  “We are calling you from the company LTDA”

Ø  “Very well Mrs. Laura, thank you very much, we will be in touch with you.”

Some of these expressions become neutral or even informal

Ø  Ok, thanks you” (grammatical error)

Ø  “Have a good one” (colloquial expression)

Pragmatic use of language

If the pragmatic use of language is used, creating real communication, in this case an interview, where they introduce themselves, ask questions and close the conversation and in turn the language fulfills its functions, being informative, interactive and phatic.

# data[].attributes.body
The two scenarios were conducted in different contexts: the first in a classroom and the second in a job interview. Each scenario demonstrated the use of different vocabulary, grammatical structures, and communicative tones, depending on the situation.

In scenario 1, corresponding to the conversation between the teacher and the students, neutral but respectful language was observed, appropriate for a school context. No significant grammatical errors were found; however, some adjustments could be made to improve the naturalness and fluency of the discourse. For example, in the expression "Now a new question for you," the phrase "Here's a new question for you" could be used, which does not change the meaning but sounds more natural in conversational English.

In scenario 2, corresponding to the job interview, the language used was mostly formal, as it was well adapted to the professional context. A grammatical error was identified in the expression "OK, thanks you," which would be correctly spelled "Thanks" or "Thank you," without combining them, since thanks implicitly implies the pronoun you. Furthermore, the expression "Have a good one," although grammatically correct, is not appropriate for this type of formal situation and could therefore be replaced with "I wish you an excellent day," which maintains politeness and is more suited to the formal register.

I believe it is essential to understand grammatical structure, tonality, and the pragmatic use of language, as these elements allow for greater fluency and appropriate communication in different contexts. Mastering these aspects contributes not only to expressing oneself correctly in English, but also to maintaining effective, polite, and respectful communication that can adapt to different real-life situations.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first scenario, completed by colleague Melanny, she effectively and formally demonstrates her use of English, as the context is appropriate for a job interview. The tone is courteous and friendly, and is appropriate for a conversational level of English at A2–B1 levels. Areas for improvement include: the candidate could offer more complete answers and include more specific examples and skills; this would convey greater confidence and help make the interaction clearer and more fluid.

The second scenario clearly and coherently presents a realistic interaction between a patient and a doctor during a consultation. The use of English is adequate, as it presents a formal conversation, appropriate to the context. It also includes two verb tenses: the present perfect and the present continuous, which allow for adequate expression of current situations. As an improvement, it would be helpful to elaborate on the description of symptoms (for example, their frequency or intensity) and to ensure grammatical accuracy in some structures, such as the use of the present perfect instead of the simple present.

This situation takes place at the airport check-in counter. A passenger is talking with the airline agent before a flight. Th goal is to check in, confirm luggage weight, and receive the boarding pass. The tone is formal and polite, using common travel expressions. Both speakers communicate clearly and courteously.

Step 2

Context: This situation happens at the airport check-in counter. A passenger talks with an airline agent to check in, weigh the luggage, and get the boarding pass. The conversation is formal and polite, using common travel expressions and courteous questions.

Dialogue:

·       Agent: Good morning! May I see your passport and ticker, please?

·       Passenger: Good morning. Of course, here they are.

·       Agent: Thank you. Are you checking in any bags today?

·       Passenger: Yes, just one suitcase.

·       Agent: Please place it on the scale. The weight is 22 kilograms, which is fine.

·       Passenger: Great! Can I keep my backpack as a carry-on?

·       Agent: Yes, that’s no problem. Do you any liquids inside?

·       Passenger: Only a small bottle of water. Should I throw it away?

·       Agent: Yes, please. You can buy another one after security.

·       Passenger: Okay, thank you for letting me know.

·       Agent: No worries. Here is your boarding pass. Your gate is B12, and boarding starts at 10:15

·       Passenger: Perfect. Thank you very much for your help!

·       Agent: You’re welcome! Have a niche flight.

Step 3

1.     Register

The register is formal and polite, appropriate for a service interaction at the airport. Both speakers use courteous expressions such as good morning, may I see, please, and thank you. The tone is professional but friendly, showing respect between the passenger and the agent.

2.     Vocabulary:

The vocabulary fits perfectly with travel and airport contexts. Words like passport, ticket, scale, suitcase, carry-on, liquids, boarding pass, gate, and security are all related to air travel. The passenger also uses polite modal verbs (Can I…? Should I…?) to make requests respectfully.

3.     Grammar:

The dialogue uses the present simple for general questions and facts (Do you have any liquids? The weight is 22 kilograms). The modal verbs (may, can, should) are used correctly to express politeness and permission. The sentence structure is clear and grammatically accurate.

4.     Pragmatics:

The interaction follows expected politeness conventions in customer service. The agent speaks helpfully and the passenger responds with gratitude. Both avoid abrupt language and maintain a calm tone, ensuring smooth communication even when there is a small issue (the water bottle).

Step 4

Reflection: This dialogue shows effective communication in a formal but customer-friendly context. The vocabulary is precise and relevant to air travel, helping both speakers understand each other easily. The use of polite phrases and modal verbs creates a respectful tone, which is very important when speaking with service staff or customers. The agent provides clear instructions, while the passenger responds courteously and follows them.

However, there is room for improvement to make the interaction sound even more natural. The passenger could use additional polite phrases, such as would it be possible to… or I’d appreciate it if… to show higher formality. The agent could also offer extra help of information to make the experience more personal, for example, would you like a window or aisle seat? Or your flight should start boarding soon. Using transition words like also or by the way could make the conversation flow better.

Overall, the dialogue demonstrates clear and polite communication, with opportunities to make it sound more fluent and customer-oriented through small vocabulary and phrasing adjustments.

Suggested improvements:

·       Grammar fix: Can I keep my backpack as a carry on? -> Would it be possible to keep my backpack as a carry-on?

·       Vocabulary upgrade: Should I throw it away? -> Should I dispose it before security?

·       Add detail: Thank you for letting me know -> I really appreciate your help and information.

# data[].attributes.body
This situation happens in a medical office between a patient and a doctor. The patient describes their symptoms and asks for advice, while the doctor asks questions, gives recommendations, and suggests possible treatments. The register is also formal, but the tone is empathetic and supportive, using expressions like “I’ve been feeling sick since yesterday” or “you should rest and drink plenty of water.” The goal is to communicate clearly and respectfully to ensure the patient receives the right guidance.

Step 2

Context: A patient visits the doctor because they have been feeling unwell. The doctor asks questions and gives advice.

Dialogue:

·       Doctor: Good morning, how are you feeling today?

·       Patient: Not very well, doctor. I’ve had a sore throat since yesterday and headache this morning.

·       Doctor: I see. Do you have any other symptoms, like fever or cough?

·       Patient: Yes, I have a mild fever and I feel a bit dizzy.

·       Doctor: Have you taken any medication?

·       Patient: Only some acetaminophen, but it hasn’t helped much.

·       Doctor: Okay. You might have a viral infection. I recommend resting and drinking plenty of fluids.

·       Patient: Should I take any antibiotics?

·       Doctor: Not yet. If your symptoms get worse after three days, then come back to see me.

·       Patient: Alright, thank you for your advice.

·       Doctor: You’re welcome. Take care and get well soon.

Step 3

1.     Register:

The register is formal but friendly, as expected in a conversation between a doctor and a patient. The doctor uses polite language like “How are you feeling today?” and “You’re welcome. Take care.” The patient responds respectfully without slang or informal expressions.

2.     Vocabulary

The vocabulary is related to health and symptoms, such as “sore throat”, “fever”, “dizzy”, and “infection”. These are appropriate for a medical context. The doctor uses simple, clear words so the patient can understand, which reflects good communication practice in healthcare.

3.     Grammar:

The doctor and the patient both use present perfect “I’ve had a sore throat since yesterday” to describe ongoing conditions, and modals (should, might recommend) to give advice. The grammar is accurate, with correct question forms and verb agreement.

4.     Pragmatics:

The doctor shows empathy and professionalism, listening to the patient and offering reassurance. The use of polite recommendations instead of commands helps create a supportive atmosphere. The patient also uses gratitude to close the conversation appropriately.

Step 4

Reflection:

This dialogue uses clear and correct English, appropriate for a formal but friendly medical interaction. The tone is respectful and empathetic. The doctor gives advice politely using modal verbs such as should and might, which make the recommendations sound gentle instead of demanding. The patient expresses symptoms accurately using the present perfect tense, like I’ve had a sore throat since yesterday, which is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

Still, there are some aspects that could be improved to make the dialogue more natural and precise. The doctor could use more technical or descriptive vocabulary to sound more professional, such as you might have a viral infection in your upper respiratory tract. The patient could also describe their symptoms with more adjectives to provide more useful information, for example: I have burning sensation in my throat. Adding short expressions of empathy, such as I understand how uncomfortable that must be, would make the doctor’s tone even warmer and more caring.

Suggested improvements:

·       Grammar fix: I feel sick since yesterday -> I have felt sick since yesterday

·       Vocabulary upgrade: That thing in my throat -> A burning sensation in my throat

·       Add detail: I have a headache -> I have a constant headache and occasional dizziness.

I really enjoyed reading your two scenarios — both are clear, realistic, and well-structured. You did an excellent job maintaining a formal and polite register in both contexts, which perfectly fits the situations.

In the doctor’s appointment, I liked how you highlighted empathy and professionalism in the doctor’s language. The vocabulary is accurate and specific to health topics, and your reflection clearly shows that you understand how politeness and tone contribute to effective communication. The analysis is organized and demonstrates strong grammatical awareness, especially when you identified the correct use of present perfect and modal verbs.

The airport check-in scenario also stands out for its coherence and fluency. The interaction feels natural and realistic, and the vocabulary selection is spot on — words like carry-on, boarding pass, and gate make the dialogue sound authentic. I especially appreciate how you noted small improvements like using “Would it be possible…” for higher formality; that shows excellent attention to pragmatic detail.

Overall, both reflections show deep understanding of language use in real-life situations. You balance analysis and practical examples very well. My only small suggestion would be to continue expanding your comments about how emotional tone (empathy, patience, reassurance) strengthens communication, since you already demonstrate great technical accuracy.

Great job!

Scenario 1 guest and receptionist

Scenario: At a luxury hotel, a guest named Maria approaches the front desk to check in after a long day of travel.

Objectives: Recognize ethical and unethical levels within a casual conversation.

Maria : "Good evening! I have a reservation under the name Maria.

Receptionist: "Welcome, Ms. Maria Let me check your reservation." (The receptionist types on the computer.) "Oh, yes, I see you booked a standard room for three nights."

Maria: "Correct. However, I was wondering if there was any possibility of upgrading to a suite. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with that.

Receptionist: "Let me check our availability."

Receptionist: (After consulting.) "We have a lovely suite available for an additional $50 per night."

Maria: "That sounds wonderful! I'd like to move forward with that upgrade, please."

Receptionist: "Of course! I'll take care of that right away." (Processes payment.) "Here are the keys to the suite. Enjoy your stay!"

Level of formality: The language used is formal but friendly, which is appropriate for a hotel environment where professionalism is expected.

Vocabulary and expressions: Words like "wondering," "possibility," "thank you," and "absolutely" convey courtesy and respect.

The receptionist uses polite phrases like "welcome" and "let me check our availability," which improves customer service.

Grammatical accuracy: All sentences are clear and correctly structured, facilitating effective communication.

Pragmatic use of language: Politeness is expressed through requests ("I was wondering if you'd like to hear it?"), gratitude ("I'd really appreciate it"), and affirmations ("That sounds great!"). This reflects good manners and respect for service staff. This example effectively illustrates how language can be adapted to specific contexts while maintaining clarity and courtesy in communication in a hotel setting.

Reflections:

Each person acts differently depending on their culture, family dependency, and economic status. This creates variations in communication and generosity. Some people act differently in front of others than they do in their personal lives. I think the most important thing is to try to understand the feelings and perspectives of others. We must be empathetic in order to build positive relationships.

Scenario 2 :between a customer and a waiter.

In a casual restaurant, a customer interacts with a server to order food. The conversation is informal but polite, using everyday vocabulary and maintaining correct grammar, respecting cultural norms.

In a casual restaurant called "Mi Buena Sazón." It has a relaxed atmosphere where families and friends gather for a meal. The staff is trained to provide friendly, efficient service and communicate effectively.

Scenario: A customer named Camila enters the restaurant with her friend Jose.

Server: "Hello! Welcome, I'm Luis. How many are in your party today?" This greeting is informal but polite, appropriate for a casual setting.

Camila: "Just two, please." Camila uses simple language appropriate for the situation.

Waiter: "Great! This way!" The waiter maintains a casual and courteous tone. Once seated at the table,

Camila and Jose review the menu.

Waiter: "Can I get you anything to start?"

Jose: "I'll have a lemonade."

Camila: "And tea, please." Both customers use direct language, without complex vocabulary or formalities. After receiving their drinks,

Waiter: "Here you go! Ready to order, or do you need more time?" Jess asks them politely but informally.

Camila: I'd like a grilled chicken.

Waiter: "Here's your grilled chicken! Enjoy!" Jess uses a cheerful tone that fits well with the casual dining experience. Throughout this interaction:

Camila and Jose: "Thank you very much."

Formality/Register: The language used is informal but respectful, appropriate for a casual dining setting.

Appropriate Vocabulary: Everyday vocabulary is used; no slang or overly complex terms are used.

Grammatical Correctness: All sentences are grammatically correct. Pragmatic Use of Language: Requests are made politely (e.g., "Can I start with something to drink?"), showing consideration for the customer's preferences.

Respect for Cultural Norms: The interaction reflects common practices in American dining culture: polite greetings, checking on customers' needs, and providing timely service. This scenario effectively illustrates how communication occurs in a real-life restaurant context, adhering to appropriate levels of formality and respecting cultural norms.

Reflections: With these activities it is possible to highlight the different behaviors and attitudes of people. There are people who maintain their impeccable ethics, others who try to apply them, and others who do not even think before speaking. Everything is also sometimes differentiated by economic status. There are wealthy people who have good manners, there are others who are too indifferent with the service staff. In my opinion, people look more pleasant when they demonstrate kindness and not empathy.

In the second scenario, it can be seen that the Aviaca service agent met the daily requirements for ensuring safety. He began with a warm greeting. He provided accurate information to the passenger, always helping with various needs, such as checking travelers' documentation, weighing luggage, informing them of additional charges, and, above all, providing information with kindness and efficiency. This agent fulfilled his duty. He ended by wishing them a safe trip.

Congratulations, Johan, you have a good understanding of the topic and your work meets the guidelines.

Your work is very well done and demonstrates an excellent understanding of the use of “There is” and “There are,” as well as how to adapt language to different communicative contexts. In the first scenario, you managed to recreate a dynamic, clear, and appropriate class for basic-level students, explaining the difference between singular and plural with simple and practical examples. In the second scenario, the job interview, you maintained a formal and respectful tone, using vocabulary appropriate for a professional situation. Although there are small spelling details that could be improved, overall your work reflects a very good command of the language and a clear communicative intent. Congratulations, your effort and dedication are evident!

Paula Gutiérrez: The scenario presents a polite and professional interaction between the guest and the receptionist, which is perfect for a luxury hotel setting. The language used is formal, but still friendly, with expressions such as "Good evening" and "Ms. Maria," which show respect. The guest's request for an upgrade is also very polite, using phrases like "I would really appreciate it if you could help me."

The vocabulary is appropriate for the context, with words like "wondering," "possibility," and "thank you" conveying courtesy. The grammar is clear and correct, with well-structured sentences and the correct use of modals and present tense.

One area to improve would be to make the conversation flow a bit more smoothly. For example, the receptionist could add a polite phrase like "Thank you for your patience" or offer more personalized responses, such as "Let me help make your stay more comfortable."
