D: Mediation

 

Do you remember what a mediation is? It's not a translation from one language to the other but only giving the relevant information to someone in another languge. Here's an example: You are at the cinema with your parents who can't speak English (yesyes, I know, they can. But let's IMAGINE they can't...). They want to know how much the tickets are. So they say: "Frag ihn, wie viel die Eintrittskarten kosten." If you TRANSLATED it, it would be; "Ask him, how much the tickets are." But that doesn't make sense in the situation. So, you turn to the guy at the counter and ask: "How much are the tickets?" THAT's mediating. Got it? Yes? Great! 

 

Then you can do the mediation course at page 16 in your books (Obviusly without the partner work).
