Adapting register with precision

Your conversation goal

Adjust directness, formality, and interpersonal distance while keeping the same request or criticism clear.

Deliver the same English request to a close friend, a new colleague, and a formal group, changing only the features the relationship requires.

Use a real request you may need to make in more than one social setting.
