In short
End with the relationship your synthesis has established: a shared aim, a condition or an unresolved question. Les textes s’accordent sur la gratuité can sit beside le second pose une condition. Keep the final claim within the dossier’s evidence.

| Source | Position |
|---|---|
| A · Residents’ association | L’accès à la salle commune doit rester gratuit. |
| B · Management team | Nous soutenons la gratuité à condition que les usagers réservent à l’avance. |
| Evidence available | Aucun des deux textes ne présente de bilan d’expérimentation. |
La réservation satisfera tous les usagers.Booking will satisfy all users.
Focus: A new prediction about everyone.
Cette solution est donc la meilleure.
This solution is therefore the best.
Les deux textes défendent la gratuité, mais le second l’assortit d’une condition de réservation.Both texts advocate free access, but the second attaches a booking condition.
Focus: The shared aim and the difference in specification.
Le dossier ne présente pas de bilan d’expérimentation.
The dossier presents no evaluation of a trial.
Il faudrait lancer une application de réservation.A booking app should be launched.
Focus: A new recommendation absent from these notes.
Je propose de créer une application.
I propose creating an app.
Study first: three jobs for a closing sentence
| Job | French pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| State shared ground | Les textes s’accordent sur… | Name the exact point they share. |
| Keep a qualification | Le second pose toutefois une condition… | Keep that source’s condition attached. |
| Bound the evidence gap | Le dossier ne présente aucun bilan… | Describe the supplied material’s limit. |
The second source supports free access and specifies advance booking. The first source says nothing about booking, so the ending keeps that difference as a condition stated by B. It does not label it a disagreement. The missing trial evaluation also leaves the practical outcome open: the dossier has positions to compare, rather than measured results to rank.
Une conclusion à compléter
Les deux textes (s’accorder, présent) sur la gratuité de l’accès à la salle commune. Le second (poser, présent) toutefois une condition : les usagers doivent réserver à l’avance. Le dossier ne (présenter, présent) aucun bilan d’expérimentation ; l’efficacité du dispositif (rester, présent) donc à évaluer.
Read it in English
Both texts agree on free access to the shared room. The second nevertheless sets a condition: users must book in advance. The dossier presents no evaluation of a trial; the effectiveness of the arrangement therefore remains to be assessed.
