Read the original planning dialogue and choose the best summary.
Maya: We need a practical plan for next month's community repair café. The library can offer its meeting room free, but it holds only thirty people. Jon: Why don't we ask visitors to book a time? That would prevent long queues. Maya: Good idea. Three volunteers can mend clothes and bicycles, but nobody is qualified to repair electrical items. Jon: In that case, I suggest advertising only the repairs we can provide. We could display broken electrical objects during a safety demonstration without repairing them. Maya: I'm not sure about that. Visitors might think we can fix those objects. Wouldn't a short talk about safe repairs be clearer? Jon: Yes, that sounds more sensible. What about equipment? We have a budget of £120. Maya: The local bicycle group can lend us tools. Perhaps we should spend £70 on sewing and bicycle materials, then use £50 for signs, cups and drinks. Jon: I'd rather keep refreshments simple and spend more on materials. How about £90 for materials and £30 for tea and signs? Maya: I can agree to that if visitors bring reusable cups. It would reduce unnecessary waste. We could run two ninety-minute sessions, with fifteen bookings in each. Jon: Agreed. Let's create a waiting list too, in case somebody cancels. Maya: Perfect. We now have a free venue, bookable sessions, three repair volunteers, a safety talk and a £120 budget. I'll send our proposal to the library tomorrow.
