After checking, repeat the whole sentence and match its natural rhythm.

1Hello, Doctor Reid, could I ask you a few questions about the history essay?

2Of course, come in. What seems to be the problem with it?

3Well, I am not sure how many sources we need for this assignment.

4I would say at least six, but quality matters more than quantity.

5Right. And is the deadline still Friday the twenty-first, or has it changed?

6Actually, it was moved to Monday the twenty-fourth, not Friday.

7Oh good. Should we include a short personal opinion in the conclusion?

8No, keep it objective, but you may suggest areas for future research.

9Thank you. Could I email you my outline before I start writing?

10Yes, please do. Send it by Wednesday, and I will check it.
