➤ TRADUCCIÓN

Completa el diálogo.

A: Hemos convocado esta reunión para discutir la venta de algunos de los campos de juego del colegio.

E: ¿Puedes explicar/decir por qué?

B: ¿Te refieres a dinero? ¿Cuáles son tus razones para sugerir eso?

C: La principal razón por la que creo eso es que algunos de los padres tienen mucho dinero. Otra razón es que es una buena forma de que las empresas tengan publicidad.
