Where you are
You are meeting your project partner in a coworking room. Your laptop has the presentation template and budget notes. You expected final text this morning and reserved the last hour for design and practice.
Escenario 7 · Rol B
quien lleva diseño y presupuesto
You can build fast if the content is clear
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Direct and cooperative. You are equal partners under time pressure. They start. About 8 turns · 7 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Ask for priorities before opening the design file.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want a presentable deck with a simple story and enough time to practice your budget explanation. A plain four-slide deck is acceptable; a beautiful deck that neither person can present is not.
You can't
- Design more than five slides in the time left. Every extra layout also needs a check on a small laptop screen.
- Present the customer research section; you were not in those interviews and do not know which quotes are typical.
- Use an external link during the call; your company account blocks them. Any chart the client needs must be inside the file.
Only you know
- A four-slide deck takes about forty minutes if the text is final. Changing text during design can add another twenty minutes.
- The budget can be reduced by 12 percent without changing the delivery date. A larger reduction changes the project team.
- You have not read the new research notes yet. You can learn one recommendation now, but you cannot safely present all the evidence.
If you finish with nothing
You will improvise from a spreadsheet, and the client may think the team has no clear recommendation. You may also spend the call correcting each other instead of answering questions.

Cuándo terminar
Closing criterion
Stop planning when both people say the same version of these five facts:
- The confirmed call time.
- The slides that will exist — and the one idea each slide carries.
- Who builds each part and who presents it.
- Which number must be checked, by whom.
- The checkpoint time and the minimum practice time.
Success: You asked for the key message before designing, gave a realistic estimate, and protected practice time. You took clear ownership without accepting the research section. Both people can name the four-slide plan and the checkpoint.
Después de hablar
Conversen sobre cómo les fue
- ¿Qué trabajo se eliminó después de la carta y qué protegió esa decisión?
- ¿Cuál de los dos puso un límite basado en calidad y cuál puso uno basado en tiempo?
- Digan el plan final sin mirar: hora, cuatro mensajes, responsables, cifra pendiente y checkpoint.
Para repasar
Gramática que sostiene este escenario
- Will para decisiones en Inglés A2a2
El reparto se decide durante la conversación: I’ll build, I’ll check, we’ll present; no son planes previos sino compromisos de este momento.
- Have to y must en Inglés A2a2
Las restricciones externas de hora, enlaces y revisión de datos se expresan como necesidades, no como preferencias.
- Comparativos en Inglés A2a2
La carta obliga a comparar más diapositivas con menos práctica y a elegir una versión más corta bajo un nuevo horario.
- Can y can’t en Inglés A1a1
Can you take, I can present y I can’t build expresan reparto posible y límites de capacidad bajo presión.
- Preguntas en presente simple en Inglés A1a1
Which point does the client need y do we have permiten priorizar contenido antes de diseñar.
- Present continuous para futuro en Inglés A2a2
La llamada del cliente y el nuevo horario son planes cerrados que reordenan tareas y práctica.
