Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Click on the paragraph that best relates to the recording.
Let's imagine a college student being late for class. New Jay, who’s her current teacher, learned about nonviolent communication and knows that it begins with a clear observation. During observation he tries noticing concrete facts: things that happen at that very moment. New Jay jots down that Ann arrived 20 minutes late and that his pulse is up, possibly a sign of stress. When focusing on his feelings, New Jay connects with his heart and can learn to understand various underlying emotions. This is important because what seems to be anger, might in fact be sadness. During this step it is essential to distinguish feelings from thoughts. After class, New Jay shares his observation and explains to Ann that he feels disrespected when someone is late for his class. Knowing his needs is important because it allows him to enrich his life, and feel at peace. If we disregard our needs or don't live up to our values, we experience stress and frustration.
New Jay tells Ann that they should find a way to respect each other's values and desires. Lastly there is the request which clarifies what future New Jay wants for himself and this relationship. Clear requests are hence crucial to a transformative communication. When we ask for concrete actions, we often find creative ways to ensure that everyone's needs are met. New Jay asks Ann not to come to class at all, if she happens to run later more than one minute.

Option 2: "Ann’s teacher New Jay followed nonviolent communication, which started with observation. He then told Ann about his feelings and brought up his clear requests, so both of their needs were finally met in a peaceful way."

Explanation: This option accurately summarizes the main points of the text. It highlights New Jay's approach of using nonviolent communication, beginning with observation, expressing his feelings, and making clear requests. The text illustrates how this process allows both New Jay and Ann to address their needs peacefully, aligning perfectly with the overall theme.

Option 1: "New Jay felt disrespected when his student Ann was late for his class. Despite the fact that Ann had already explained why she was late, New Jay was still angry and told her not to come to his class at all if she was late again."

Explanation: This option misrepresents the text by stating that New Jay was angry and told Ann not to come to class at all if she was late again. While he did express feeling disrespected, the text emphasizes his use of nonviolent communication and the importance of clear requests, rather than anger. The text does not mention Ann explaining her lateness, which makes this option misleading.

Option 3: "New Jay was a specialist in nonviolent communication, and he used to teach his student Ann how to communicate with others in a respectful method. Ann was often late to his class, so New Jay became disappointed and stopped teaching her."

Explanation: This option incorrectly states that New Jay stopped teaching Ann due to disappointment. The text does not indicate that he ceased teaching her; rather, it focuses on his efforts to communicate effectively with her. Additionally, it mischaracterizes his role as a teacher of nonviolent communication rather than a practitioner of it in this context.

Option 4: "Ann was told by her teacher New Jay that she was allowed to be late for one minute to his class. This is the result of their nonviolent communication, during which both sides had clearly mentioned their requests."

Explanation: This option inaccurately suggests that New Jay allowed Ann to be late for one minute, which is not supported by the text. The text emphasizes the importance of respecting each other's values and desires, and while it mentions a request, it does not imply permission for lateness. This misinterpretation leads to a misunderstanding of the communication process described.
