Frame fairness using time, urgency and effort.
Mixed-Skill Mastery · Topic Family 07
Negotiate a Fair Shared-Home Plan
B2 · Compare priorities, allocate responsibilities and adapt the agreement when time or budget changes.
Why this lesson matters
For learners: Fair shared living requires more than dividing chores equally. Strong communicators compare effort, urgency and availability, then make responsibilities visible.
For teachers: This mastery lesson combines TF07 vocabulary, listening evidence and household roleplay in a B2 negotiation with adaptation and retry.
คำอธิบายภาษาไทย
บทนี้ฝึกวิเคราะห์งานบ้านและการซ่อมจากหลักฐาน เปรียบเทียบเวลา ความเร่งด่วน และภาระของแต่ละคน แล้วเจรจาแผนที่เป็นธรรมพร้อมปรับเมื่อเงินหรือเวลาเปลี่ยน
Why this lesson matters · เหตุผลที่เรียนบทนี้
For learners: Use evidence to negotiate fair household responsibilities, repairs, timing and a fallback.
For teachers: The learner separates evidence from assumptions, compares plans, listens to constraints, negotiates an agreement and adapts it independently.
สำหรับผู้เรียน: ใช้หลักฐานเพื่อเจรจาหน้าที่ งานซ่อม เวลา และแผนสำรองในบ้านอย่างเป็นธรรม
สำหรับครู: ผู้เรียนแยกหลักฐานจากการคาดเดา เปรียบเทียบแผน ฟังข้อจำกัด เจรจาข้อตกลง และปรับแผนด้วยตนเอง
Your Goal
By the end of this lesson, you can interpret household evidence, compare reasonable priorities, negotiate responsibilities and defend an adapted plan with timing, success signals and a fallback.

Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
Mixed-Skill rule: preserve evidence → compare → listen/respond → negotiate → changed constraint → independent performance → feedback/retry.
Separate confirmed evidence from assumptions.
Compare two feasible plans and trade-offs.
Play one housemate update; require neutral restatement.
Negotiate owner, timing, check-in and fallback.
Add budget change; score EVD/ADAPT/FP and retry.
Feedback rule: Score the first unsupported performance. Give one success and one revision target; retry only the weakest 30–45 seconds.
1. Frame what “fair” means
3 minSTUDENT TASK
- Define fairness in a shared home.
- Choose two factors: time, urgency, ability, frequency, cost or preference.
- Explain why equal is not always fair.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Accept different definitions if the learner makes the criteria visible. Do not supply the final principle.
2. Separate evidence from assumptions
4 minConfirmed household evidence
- Kitchen cleaning takes about 35 minutes twice a week.
- Rubbish and recycling take 10 minutes three times a week.
- A leaking tap needs a professional repair.
- Housemate A works late on Tuesday and Thursday.
- Housemate B is away every second weekend.
- Housemate C can call the building manager during office hours.
Possible assumptions
- Cooking means cleaning is automatically the same person’s job.
- Being at home means being free.
- The cheapest repair is always best.
- A missed task means someone does not care.
STUDENT TASK
Choose two assumptions, explain why the evidence does not prove them and ask what additional information is needed.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Require an evidence sentence and an inference sentence. Do not let “I think” replace a reason.
3. Compare two reasonable plans
5 minPlan A · Fixed ownership
Each person owns recurring tasks for one month. Easy to remember, but absences may create imbalance.
Plan B · Weekly rotation
Tasks rotate based on availability. More adaptable, but requires a clear check-in.
STUDENT TASK
- Compare fairness, reliability and coordination.
- Choose a plan or hybrid.
- Name one success signal and one likely failure point.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Challenge vague preferences with “Which evidence supports that?” and “Who carries the hidden coordination work?”
4. Listen to a housemate and respond neutrally
5 minMatthew · American English · Amazon Polly Neural
Transcript · open after the task
I can handle calls to the building manager because I am usually free at lunchtime. What worries me is becoming responsible for every repair just because I make the call. I would like the communication task to count as work, and I need another person to be home when a technician visits.
STUDENT TASK
- Identify the offer, concern, requested recognition and constraint.
- Restate the viewpoint without judgement.
- Ask one clarification question.
- Propose how communication and waiting time could be shared.
Teacher Help · Stage 4
Play once for gist and once for evidence. Open the transcript only after the neutral restatement.
5. Negotiate the first shared-home agreement
6 minNEGOTIATION
- Allocate kitchen, rubbish/recycling and repair coordination.
- State who acts, by when and how completion is visible.
- Include a weekly check-in of no more than ten minutes.
- Add a swap rule for late work or travel.
- Add a repair fallback if the manager does not respond.
Agreement testEach responsibility has an owner, timing, success signal and fallback; no hidden task is treated as free.
Teacher Help · Stage 5
Do not decide for the learner. Probe any unowned coordination work or agreement that depends on “someone.”
6. Final Practice · adapt after a budget change
7 minOlivia · Australian English · Amazon Polly Neural
Transcript · open after the task
The manager says the basic repair is covered, but replacing the damaged cupboard door would cost us extra. We cannot afford that this month. Also, the technician can only come on Thursday morning, when two of us are working. I can rearrange one meeting, but I cannot wait at home for the whole four-hour window.
INDEPENDENT MIXED-SKILL PERFORMANCE
- Identify covered cost, extra cost, time constraint and available flexibility.
- Revise, qualify or defend the first agreement.
- Allocate the technician visit and communication work fairly.
- Give a 90-second final agreement with responsibilities, timing, success signal and fallback.
- Explain why the plan is fairer than assigning the visit to the person already making the calls.
- After feedback, retry only the weakest 30–45 seconds.
Final Practice evidence
EVD · Evidence useSeparates confirmed costs, availability, offers and assumptions accurately.
ADAPT · AdaptationRevises money, visit and workload decisions directly in response to the update.
FP · Final performanceNegotiates and defends a feasible agreement with owner, timing, success signal and fallback.
Teacher scoring guide
Score the first unsupported performance, then the focused retry separately.
0 · Not yetThe criterion is not demonstrated after one clear prompt.
1 · With supportThe criterion is partly demonstrated or needs supplied language.
2 · IndependentThe criterion is clear without a model or supplied sentence. Natural hesitation is acceptable.
Target: 5/6 overall with FP = 2 and no zero after retry.
The lesson is complete whenYou can adapt the plan without hiding coordination work or dismissing a reasonable constraint.
Teacher Help · scoring and retry
Do not supply the revised agreement. Score EVD/ADAPT/FP before feedback, give one success and one revision target, then allow a focused retry.
