Synthesize competing views for a new audience
Positionen zusammenführen, Unterschiede bewahren
Write and speak a coherent synthesis that preserves attributed views, subtle differences and unresolved disagreement.
A synthesis reorganizes several sources around a shared question; it is not a sequence of loosely joined summaries. Establish the point on which the sources genuinely converge, then show where their criteria or proposed actions diverge. Zwar … jedoch can acknowledge a shared concern while highlighting a difference; insofern marks the limited respect in which a statement applies. Avoid consensus language when the sources agree only on investigating a problem. Select register for the recipient: residents need practical consequences, while a committee may also need criteria and responsibility. Distinguish a source’s claim from your own proposal with clear attribution. A useful concluding recommendation can connect the positions without pretending that the participants have already accepted it.
Beide Stellungnahmen betonen die Bedeutung verlässlicher Zugänge.
Both statements emphasize the importance of reliable access.
Während die Initiative längere Öffnungszeiten fordert, priorisiert das Team die personelle Absicherung.
Whereas the initiative calls for longer opening hours, the team prioritizes sufficient staffing.
Einigkeit besteht insofern, als der derzeitige Zustand überprüft werden soll.
There is agreement insofar as the current situation is to be reviewed.
Daraus folgt jedoch keine Zustimmung zu demselben Modell.
That does not, however, imply support for the same model.
Ein befristeter Versuch könnte die Positionen verbinden, wäre aber noch abzustimmen.
A temporary trial could connect the positions, but would still need agreement.
In der Zusammenfassung muss erkennbar bleiben, von wem eine Bewertung stammt.
The summary must retain whose evaluation is being reported.

Write and speak a coherent synthesis that preserves attributed views, subtle differences and unresolved disagreement.
A shared wish for better access does not mean agreement on the same opening hours or staffing arrangement. Gemeinsam is narrower than einig über alles.
Shared question → attributed common ground → different criteria and consequences → unresolved disagreement → clearly labelled recommendation.
Using both German statements below, write a 250–300-word briefing for a neighbourhood committee. Organize it by issues rather than by source. Include a precise common point, two disagreements, a conditional proposal of your own and one question that must still be answered. Present the result orally in three minutes and respond to an objection without erasing it.
