Problem Solving

Anetta and Anetta

-Hi! The day has finally arrived and we will show our presentation, which we had been preparing all week. I hope everything will be great!

-Hmm… oh

-Did something happen?

-I don't even know how to say it…

-Tell me immediately what happened !!

-I probably forgot the flash drive with the presentation at home on the bedside table. I was in a hurry

-What?!? How could you?!? We have been doing it for so long and so diligently! What should we do now?

-Don't panic! We still have 30 minutes before the start of the class! I'll call my older brother and ask him to bring a flash drive!

-Great idea! I hope he can bring it before the lesson starts.

-And here he is !!

Hooray! We are saved! Next time, be careful.

- Angelina why are you so nervous and sad? What’s wrong?

- I think I have forgotten a pen drive at home.

- How dare you?

- I’m so sorry. I know that we have spent a lot of time doing this project. I just had a terrible morning because I have had a really humiliating discussion with my dad and this is the reason why I am confused now.

- I’m sorry, I didn’t have to make quick conclusions without knowing the reason of your mood. We need to calm down and come up with solution.

- I have a great idea. My grandmother is at home and I can ask her to bring us the pen drive.

- I like it. Hurry up please.

*after call*

 - She is going to be here in 15 minutes. Let’s revise second part of our project.

- Awesome!!!!

K: Bring it here. Let's check our presentation.

R: OK. Wait a second. Oh no. Where is it?

K: What's wrong?

R: I seem to have forgotten our pen drive at home.

K: No way! What are we supposed to do now?

R: I doubt that'll work, but let's see. My mum is at home right now and probably she would bring it to us.

K: It's worth a try, I suppose.

R: Hello, mum. It's very important. We have our presentation in 20 minutes and I have forgotten my pen drive at home, can you bring it here? Thank you. We are saved!

K: You're lucky this time.

R: Sure.

К: Daniela, let's revise our presentation.

D: Ok

....

D: Oh, nooo..

K: What's wrong?

D: I seem to have forgotten my pen drive at home...

K: Are you kidding? You should have thought about that earlier!

D: I'm so sorry... What should we do know?

K: I don't know. We worked hard the whole week...

D: Probably we should tell our teacher about it. I believe she will give us the second chance.

K: I doubt, but let's try.

D: Don't worry all problems have their solutions.

Hello, Artem.

 Hi there.

 Well, are you ready for our performance?

 So ready.

 There are 20 minutes left, let's discuss again how everything should go.

 Wait, I seem to have forgotten the flash drive at home.

 How? You had to check everything before leaving the house.

 I checked everything, but I was in such a hurry that I forgot about the flash drive.

 Oh old man! What to do now?

 I don't know, but I have an idea.

 I wonder which one?

 I saved the presentation on the phone, we can quickly view it and speak without it.

 Good idea, I think we will succeed.

 I think so too.

 All in all, we have 10 minutes left.

 Run!

 Good luck to us!

O my god

What's the matter?

I seem to have forgotten a pen drive at home

What? You must be kidding. The presentation is in 20 minutes. What are we supposed to do now?

I have no idea. I'm so sorry.

You should have checked your bag at home.

You're right but there's no point in arguing now. We need to come up with a solution.

OK. I think you should call your brother and ask for help.  if he's at home, he can bring us the pen drive.

It's worth a try, I suppose........ Yes! He will be here in 15 minute

Cool. Problem solved. Now we need to calm down and get ready

A: Hello there! Whats up? Oh, and... I hope you didn't forget your flash drive like last time we did a presentation.

B: Uhm... you know, I'm afraid that your fears are real...

A: Damn! You serious?

I have been working on this performance all night. You should be more responsible, cause it happened to us.

B: I swear that when I was at home, the memory stick was in my pocket.

A: Do you think that you might have lost it along the way?

B: Maybe... Oh! I just remembered, I went to the store on the way, I lost it there. Should i go and check?

A: Listen...that's good idea, but we have only 20 minutes to get ready and I don't think you can run there and check, it'll take a long time.

B: Wait a minute... Exactly! My mum works at that shop, we can call her and she will bring us a pen drive.

A: Problem solved! I hope that'll work, go ahead! 9

Vika and Rita 11A

Oh no…

Whats up?

I was rushing to class and forgot the pen drive at home. I’m so sorry , there was our presentation.

This is the second time you should have paid attention. Can you ask someone to bring it?

I have an idea. My brother said he could help me anytime. I’m gonna call him and ask him if it still at work.

That would be great.

If he can’t, try to see the saved files, it might help.

Ok,let’s try.

Vova and Vika 11A

So, are you ready for presentaion ?

I think so... Wait. Oh no...

What's the matter ?

I can't find my pen drive, i guess i left it at home. I'm so sorry.

What a shame! Can you run home and get it ?

We have 20 minutes left for presentation to begin! I won't make it in time. What other options we got ?

Let me think... Is anyone home ? Your mother or maybe dad ?

Oh, you're right! My mom is at home right now.

Call your mom and tell her to send our presentation to me via Telegram.

That's a great idea. You saved us!

A: So, soon it's our turn.

B: Yep, give me a pen drive.

A: Oh ho.

B: What's wrong?

A: I seem I forgot my pen drive at home.

B: Have you tried looking in your bag?

A: Yeah, it's not there.

B: So what are we supposed to do now? Why on the earth didn't you check if you took everything?

A: I'm really sorry that I got us into this situation, I swear it won't happen again. But we did discuss who was going to talk about what, can't we try to take information from our correspondence?

B: It's OK, the main thing now is to solve the problem. I'm not sure that'll work, but let's see. 8

Oh no...

What's the matter?

I appear to have forgotten pen drive for our presentation.

What?? Are you kidding? It was difficult work. We spent nights to make this presentation complete.

I know that. But it seemed to me that I took everything with me before left home.

Omg... I extremely upset and annoyed. You should have checked first. We must present project in 20 minutes. What are we supposed to do now?

So, I definitely won't have enough time to go home. I've no thought.

Have you tried asking someone for help? Maybe your relatives or friends will do us a favor.

Let me think. My father was going to go to job just on the way to our venue. And if he is at home now, he can help us.

So, don't slow down and call him quickly. It's worth a try, I suppose.

Yeah! Problem solved! We'll have a pen drive in 10 minutes. Now we need to calm down and get ready for work.

I absolutely agree with you. It was the most nervous 20 minutes of my life. Next time, be more attentive. 11

Dasha and Sofia 11B

Hi, don't take offense, but I appear to have forgotten the pen drive at home.

Oh no. You should have checked your bag.

I know, but I was in a hurry to school and did not check the bag.

It is bad. What are we supposed to do now?

I haven't a clue. I think we can tall about summer job opportunities in our local area without presentation.

Ok, we can do it.

Problem solved! Let's go a scene. 9

V: Hi!

Z: Hello. Well, did you bring a flash drive? I just finished the project now. It remains only to protect it and we will get nice marks!

V: Oh, I think here is some problem ...

Z: What? Something happened?

V: It seems to me that I forgot to take the flash drive with me ... I'm so sorry. How I can help to solve my mistake?

Z: Um, of course, it isn't the answer I was expected to hear, but even if I'm a little annoyed now, we should waste time on solving this issue, not discussing our negative emotions. Just promise me that next time you will be more responsible.

V: Ok, I promise. Maybe I'll have enough time to go home and bring a flash drive?

Z: We have little time left. This is not the best option. They will probably scold us for being late.

V: Hmm ... Maybe we can send the project to the teacher's computer, and he will already open it in Power point? That means we should just to read text from screen and improvise the main idea by ourselves. Looking not very easy, but it's the only way to solve the peoblem.

Z: Great idea! Do you have our teacher's email?

V: Yes, it should have been written in my notes. Wait a second please ... 10

I can discuss problems and solutions, and express annoyance
