CEFR B2 • 2 Speakers

Marcus (Product Lead, American) & Clara (Engineering Manager, British)

Marcus (US): Look Clara, the metrics speak for themselves. Ever since we went 100% remote, output has increased by nearly twenty percent. Why on earth would we mandate three days in the office?

Clara (UK): Output in terms of raw tickets closed, maybe, Marcus. But what about cross-team collaboration? The junior developers are feeling isolated, and spontaneous problem-solving has practically evaporated.

Marcus (US): That's a documentation issue, not an office issue. If we structure our asynchronous communication properly, nobody gets left in the dark.

Clara (UK): In theory, yes. But in practice, you can't replace the speed of turning around and hashing out an architecture flaw on a physical whiteboard.

Comprehension Task Sheet (CEFR B2)

  1. Gist: What is the main point of disagreement between Marcus and Clara?
  2. Detail: What specific metric does Marcus cite to justify remote work?
  3. Inference: Why does Clara believe spontaneous collaboration is superior in an office?
  4. Collocation: What does Clara mean by the idiom "hashing out" an architecture flaw?
