12. Renta/Alquila un vehículo.12
Role-play: When traveling for business or pleasure, it’s
common to rent a car. You and your team are down range.
You are in charge and you should rent a car that fits all.
There are many companies to choose from. However, most
of the companies ask the same questions when you rent.
Follow along with the conversation with a rental car agent
and rent what your team needs. Remember the budget and
to ask about car Availability, making a Reservation, prices
and rules, Insurance and License.

13. Pedir asistencia.13
Role-play: You are in training in
Honduras. You need to travel to
another town to get water for your
team. On the way there your car
broke down. Call a mechanic and
ask for assistance. Indicate which
part is damaged and ask them to
indicate how you can fix it.

14. Pedir asistencia/Ofrecer condolencias.14
Role-play: consider what life would be like without cars or
trucks. You are in the jungle. Your army truck ran over a cow.
You need to apologize to the family who owned the cow and
offer your condolences. Then you need to continue with your
mission. Look for a mechanic in a nearby town and ask for
assistance. Unfortunately, he has no tools to repair the car. It is
your turn to continue the journey on a donkey or a horse or any
animal available. Ask for help from community members.
