Keep the intention; change one detail.

  1. Read the exchange once for meaning without stopping at every IPA symbol.
  2. Repeat one speaker's turns and keep the other turns as prompts.
  3. Change one time, place, object, or preference while preserving the structure.
  4. Switch roles and answer without reading the original line word for word.
  5. Use the app for model audio, recording, and a guided response sequence.
