    Mediation

    You are on a trip in the Australian outback with your family. After taking a walk, you come back to your starting point and your rental car is not there anymore. Your dad asks you to call the police as your English is much better. To make sure that you have all the important information, he writes down some notes on a piece of paper.
    Mediate the information during your phone call with the police officer on duty. Make sure that the dialogue makes sense with regard to the officer's answers. You might be creative about some additional information.
