What happens when everyone has an idea but only one voice is heard? During a group task, four students are preparing a short oral presentation in English for their classmates. They must decide the order of the topics and who will say each part. Leo speaks quickly and keeps adding new points: “First I’ll talk about the introduction, then I’ll explain everything else.” Jo looks at his paper but stays silent. Maria has notes and some vocabulary written down, but she has not spoken yet. The teacher walks by and reminds the group: “You need to work as a team. Make space for each person, ask for opinions, and show respect even if you disagree.” The group has two minutes left to agree on a plan and start practicing the presentation out loud. Analyze the situation and identify what Leo could say next to help the group reach a decision in a respectful and collaborative way.

1. A) Say, "I already chose the order, so just follow my plan and don't change anything."
2. B) Say, "Maria, we haven't heard you yet. What do you suggest, and how can we use your notes?"
3. C) Say, "Stop talking, Jo. Your idea is wrong, and it's wasting our time."
4. D) Say, "Could you repeat the last word, please? I want to pronounce it perfectly."
5. E) Say, "Whatever, I don't care about this presentation, so you can decide without me."

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa B

Resolução passo a passo

1. Identifique a situação. O grupo precisa definir a ordem dos tópicos e quem fala cada parte, mas Leo domina a conversa, Jo está calado e Maria ainda não se manifestou. O professor pediu que o grupo abra espaço para todos, peça opiniões e respeite divergências.
2. Procure a fala que promove colaboração. O que Leo pode dizer deve trazer Maria para a discussão, pedir sugestões e aproveitar o material que ela já preparou. Isso corresponde à alternativa B: 'Maria, we haven't heard you yet. What do you suggest, and how can we use your notes?'.
3. Verifique as demais alternativas, que são erradas porque:
4. A) impõe a decisão de Leo e impede qualquer mudança, indo contra a ideia de trabalho em equipe.
5. C) humilha Jo e rejeita sua ideia sem ouvi-lo, o que quebra o respeito pedido pelo professor.
6. D) foca em pronúncia de uma palavra, desviando da tarefa de decidir o plano em dois minutos.
7. E) demonstra desinteresse e abandona o grupo, o oposto de colaboração.
8. Conclusão. A alternativa B é a única que cria espaço para todos, valoriza as contribuições e ajuda o grupo a chegar a uma decisão de forma respeitosa e coletiva, exatamente como o professor orientou.

💡 Dica: Analise o comportamento dos personagens e escolha a resposta que promove colaboração e respeito.
