Fictional teaching notice A1
Activity date: 2026/11/21.
Reply whether you will attend by 2026/11/18 18:00 (Asia/Taipei).
The meeting location has not been announced.

Request for AI

Turn this notice into one to-do: what to do and by when. List any details that have not been announced.

1. Open your usual AI tool in another browser tab and sign in. Keep this lesson open so you can return to it.
2. Copy the practice text and request below, paste both into the AI chat, and send them.
3. Read the answer, then send: “Make this one friendly reminder I can send to a friend.”
4. Check that the shorter version keeps the 11/18 18:00 reply deadline. Copy your favorite version to notes or save it in this lesson’s record area.

After trying: compare a possible result

The reply deadline remains 11/18 18:00; the activity is on 11/21. A friendly version: “Remember to reply by 6 pm on 11/18 about joining the 11/21 activity! We’re waiting for the organizer to announce the meeting location.”

Check these parts of your result

The reply deadline is 11/18 18:00, not the activity date of 11/21.
The short version keeps the action and does not invent a meeting location.

Try a different situation yourself

New fictional source A2: reading activity on 2026/12/03; choose a topic by 12/01 12:00 (Asia/Taipei); classroom undecided. In a new chat, write the action and unknown, and save a second record.

Choose a topic by 12/01 12:00; source A2; classroom to confirm; activity on 12/03. Actually save and reopen it; reading this answer alone is not hands-on completion.

Try a more involved task

Make a two-sentence note for a partner, preserving the deadline and unknown.

Fictional A3: sharing session on 2026/12/05; submit a topic by 12/02 17:00 (Asia/Taipei); 5 minutes per speaker; venue undecided.

Rewrite A3 in two sentences. Put the action and deadline in the first; put the activity date, speaking time, and unknown in the second.

Submit your topic by 2026/12/02 17:00 (Asia/Taipei). The session is on 12/05, with 5 minutes per speaker; the venue is to be confirmed.

Save your work and continue later

Save the AI response in your own notes and add one sentence about what you changed. You can also use the optional record below.
