Summarize two viewpoints fairly
Während Anna mehr Ruhe wünscht, ist Ben die Erreichbarkeit wichtig.
Keep each person’s position and reason separate and identify agreement without inventing consensus.
When you relay a discussion, attribute each view to its speaker. Anna findet …, weil … and Ben betont dagegen … separate positions. Während can contrast two views rather than describe simultaneous events. Do not turn one person’s preference into the opinion of the whole group. Look for a shared aim even when proposed solutions differ. Einig sind sich beide darin, dass … is justified only if both actually support that point. A neutral summary preserves reasons and remaining disagreement; it does not exaggerate a disagreement into hostility or claim that a decision has already been made.
