Meeting – PTE Summarize Group Discussion

PTE Summarize Group Discussion – Meeting

Narration: Three students are discussing their project meeting place on campus.

Speaker1: I think we should meet in a conference room in the university library. We can conveniently borrow books we need right there while we work. It’s a quiet space with plenty of resources, and we won’t have to carry heavy books around later. Plus, the library has those small study rooms we can book if we need complete privacy.

Speaker2: I’m not so sure about that idea—the library is always so crowded during this time of day. There will be too many people studying and chatting outside the rooms, and it will be very noisy even inside the conference areas. Last time I tried to study there, I could hardly concentrate with all the distractions. Maybe we should consider someplace else that’s actually quiet.

Speaker3: I have a compromise—we can go to the library first to borrow all the books we need for our research. Then, we can move to a coffee shop to sit down and assign tasks to each other properly. If we run into any issues later or can’t meet in person, we can always continue our discussion online. This way we get the resources we need and a comfortable space to talk.

Speaker1: That’s actually a smart plan. Which coffee shop were you thinking about? There are several near campus, but most tend to be quite busy in the afternoons. I remember the one near the south gate has good space, but it’s always packed with students. Maybe we should look for someplace less popular?

Speaker2: I like the idea, but I have to go back home around 4 PM to receive a package that’s being delivered. I don’t want to miss it since it’s something important for the project. I can join you guys after that, though it might make me a little late for the meeting. Would it be okay if I catch up with you both later?

Speaker3: That should be fine. Just remember to call us when you go out of home so we know when to expect you. We can start without you and fill you in when you arrive. If anything urgent comes up, we can always hop on a quick online call to keep you in the loop.

Speaker1: Sounds good! Now back to picking a coffee shop—I’ve been to almost all of them around here, and most do have too many people during this time. What about that new place called “Honey Cup”? It’s a bit farther from campus, but I heard they have amazing pastries and plenty of seating.

Speaker2: I’ve passed by Honey Cup a few times—it does look cozy, and they have those big booths at the back. More importantly, it usually has fewer people compared to chains like Starbucks. Plus, who can say no to sweet treats while working, right?

Speaker3: Great, then it’s settled! We’ll meet at the library at 3 PM, get our books, then walk over to Honey Cup to assign tasks and discuss the project outline. Don’t forget to call us when you’re on your way!
