Mini-dialogue

Todos formamos parte del equipo.

La confianza es importante.

Try this in conversation: “Todos formamos parte del equipo.” — “We are all part of the team.” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Look at the participants’ roles and discuss teamwork. Do not recreate the structure; this activity practises description and vocabulary.
