Planning to Work Together
Listen to the following conversation between Sam and Lily as they discuss their plans for an upcoming school competition:
Sam: I think we should start preparing for the competition early. Last year, we waited until the last minute, and it was really stressful.
Lily: That's a good point. I felt overwhelmed trying to finish everything. Maybe we could create a schedule to keep us on track.
Sam: Yes, and we should assign different tasks to each of us. That way, we won't be doing everything at once.
Lily: Exactly! If we work together and plan ahead, it will be much easier to manage.
