<!-- (Audio) Anna: Wouldn't it be simpler to let people decide how to use their stipend based on their individual needs? --> <!-- SPEAKING -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--questions--

--text--

You understand Anna's point, but want to introduce a different perspective. What would you say?

--answers--

Maybe, but we also need to ensure everyone has the basic equipment to work remotely.

--audio-id--

EN4330daba


I completely agree. Everyone should use their stipend however they want, with no guidelines.

--audio-id--

ENb84491e7

--feedback--

While Anna supports flexibility, she does not say there should be no guidelines at all.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

Maybe, but is used to acknowledge someone's point while introducing a different perspective. For example:

  • Person 1: We could move the meeting to the afternoon.

  • Person 2: Maybe, but some people might not be available then. - This person sees the possibility but points out a potential issue with timing.

In the correct response, you agree that flexibility is good but highlight another important consideration.
