During a school-to-life（语境补充词）/school-to-life/ research task, Mina's group received a case with records from several years and places. The first evidence board connected glory（光荣、荣耀）/'glɒ:ri/, drum（鼓）/drəm/, dilemma（困境、(进退两难的)窘境）/di'lemә/, northeast（东北）/.nɒ:θ'i:st/, merchant（商人、店主）/'mә:tʃәnt/, refrigerator（电冰箱、冷藏库）/ri'fridʒәreitә/, condemn（判刑、责备）/kәn'dem/, unite（联合、接合）/ju:'nait/, equip（装备、配备）/i'kwip/, homeland（本国、故国）/'hәumlænd/, bush（矮树丛）/buʃ/, discourage（使气馁、阻碍）/dis'kʌridʒ/, web（网、蛛丝）/web/, and ministry（部、内阁）/'ministri/. Each item had a date, source, or witness, so the students could check why it mattered. The team has already reviewed the complete plan.
A second folder added instruct（教、教育）/in'strʌkt/, puzzle（难题、迷惑）/'pʌzl/, mathematics（数学）/ˌmæθəˈmætɪks/, jar（广口瓶、震动）/dʒɑ:/, translation（翻译、译文）/træns'leiʃәn/, uncertain（不确定的、无常的）/.ʌn'sә:tn/, insert（插入物）/in'sә:t/, booth（亭、摊棚）/bu:θ/, appreciation（感激、赏识）/ә.pri:ʃi'eiʃәn/, pulse（脉冲、脉搏）/pʌls/, alley（小路、巷）/'æli/, soap（肥皂）/soʊp/, pin（大头针、针）/pin/, and foster（收养的、养育的）/'fɒstә/. The entries did not all support the same explanation. The group separated direct facts from comments, compared the order of events, and marked information that still needed confirmation（证实、证明）/.kɒnfә'meiʃәn/. The final choice was explained to everyone at the meeting.
The most difficult board included bicycle（自行车）/ˈbaɪsɪkl/, upstairs（在楼上）/əpˈstɛrz/, stove（火炉、窑）/stәuv/, alike（相似的、同样的）/ә'laik/, grandchild（孙辈；外孙辈）/ˈgrænˌʧaɪld/, dam（水坝、障碍）/dæm/, spray（水沫、浪花）/sprei/, beast（畜生、动物）/bi:st/, vertical（垂直的、直立的）/'vә:tikl/, worldwide（全世界的）/'wә:ldwaid/, textbook（教科书）/'tekstbuk/, shrink（收缩、退缩）/ʃriŋk/, dot（点、圆点）/dɒt/, and fierce（凶猛的、猛烈的）/fiәs/. Some details looked familiar but carried a different meaning in this case. Mina, who led（lead的过去式和过去分词）/led/ the discussion, asked for clear evidence. The supervisor（管理者、监督者）/.sju:pә'vaizә/ replied, “A useful answer must explain the awkward clue as well as the easy one.”
The final set brought together unfair（不公平的、不正直的）/.ʌn'fєә/, ambassador（大使）/æm'bæsәdә/, dip（浸、涉猎）/dip/, feather（羽毛）/'feðә/, pat（轻拍）/pæt/, sleeve（袖子、套管）/sli:v/, rib（肋骨、肋状物）/rib/, ash（灰、灰烬）/æʃ/, slavery（奴隶的身分、奴隶状态）/'sleivәri/, hunger（饥饿、渴望）/'hʌŋgә/, equality（平等、均匀）/i:'kwɒliti/, deliberately（故意地）/di'libәrәtli/, and conscience（良心）/'kɒnʃәns/. The students checked every label, removed two repeated claims, and wrote（写下）/roʊt/ a reason beside each change. If the first method fails, we can try another one. This rule let them correct the record without hiding uncertainty（不确定、不可靠）/.ʌn'sә:tnti/ or blaming a teammate（队友）/'ti:mmeit/.
The group hoped to raise awareness of（提高对……的认识）/reɪz əˈwɛrnəs əv/ choices that have an impact on（对……有影响）/hæv ən ˌɪmˈpækt ɔn/ neighbours. The hall would be home to（是……的所在地）/bi hoʊm tɪ/ an open display. Residents in favour of（支持；赞成）/ɪn ˈfeɪvər əv/ the plan spoke on behalf of（代表）/ɔn bɪˈhæf əv/ their streets and answered questions in public（公开地；在公共场合）/ɪn ˈpəblɪk/. They asked what all sides have in common（有共同之处）/hæv ɪn ˈkɑmən/; as a result（因此）/ɛz ə rɪˈzəlt/, the argument became（变得）/bɪˈkeɪm/ a practical discussion. The finished report turned a crowded collection into a clear decision. It showed which evidence was strong, which detail needed further checking, and what action should happen next. The group could defend its result because every important word appeared in a real, checkable（语境补充词）/checkable/ context.
