Collaborative Shipment Scenarios Activity

Part 1: A Logistics Scenario

1. Select a post with a short scenario about a logistics challenge.

2. Write 2 direct questions in your scenario that someone might ask in that situation

3. Example: “The shipment arrived 3 days late. What caused the delay? Can we get a refund? ”

Part 2: Transform Questions

1. Find a pair of questions posted by your classmates

2. Comment on their posts by rewriting their direct questions as indirect questions

3. Example:

Direct: “What caused the delay?”

Indirect: “ Could you tell me what caused the delay? ” or “ I was wondering what caused the delay. ”

Remember:

Be professional and use business English vocabulary related to logistics

Use proper indirect question structures (word order changes, politeness phrases)

Review the comments on your own scenario to see how others transformed your questions
