Da: I den rolige vinteraften var nabolaget klædt i et tæppe af frisk sne.
En: On the calm winter evening, the neighborhood was dressed in a blanket of fresh snow.

Da: Lyden af legende børn kunne høres svagt i baggrunden, mens Freja, Lucas og Emil samledes i den hyggelige varme af Frejas stue.
En: The sound of children playing could be faintly heard in the background, while Freja, Lucas, and Emil gathered in the cozy warmth of Freja's living room.

Da: Bordet var fyldt med bøger, papirer og varm kakao.

Da: Freja var nervøs.
En: Freja was nervous.

Da: Hun vidste, at hun var en dygtig studerende, men i gruppen følte hun sig ofte som den mindste.

Da: Lucas havde en afslappet tilgang, men lod ofte sine opgaver vente til sidste øjeblik.
En: Lucas had a relaxed approach, but he often left his tasks until the last minute.

Da: Emil var fuld af kreativitet og elskede at bringe nye ideer ind, men han havde også en tendens til at styre det hele selv.
En: Emil was full of creativity and loved to bring new ideas in, but he also had a tendency to take control of everything himself.

En: "If we're going to get this done, we need clear goals and deadlines."

Da: " Hun så fra Lucas til Emil og ventede på deres reaktion.

Da: Lucas nikkede langsomt, og Emil lænede sig afslappet tilbage i stolen.
En: Lucas nodded slowly, and Emil leaned back in his chair comfortably.

Da: "Jeg tror, det er en god idé," sagde Emil med et skævt smil.
En: "I think that's a good idea," said Emil with a crooked smile.

Da: "Men jeg har også nogle ideer, jeg gerne vil bringe på banen.
En: "But I also have some ideas I'd like to bring to the table."

Da: "Med denne start begyndte de at fordele arbejdet.
En: With this start, they began to divide the work.

Da: Freja foreslog specifikke opgaver til hver.

Da: Lucas skulle sørge for research-delen, mens Emil tog sig af den kreative præsentation.

Da: Freja ville koordinere og sørge for, at alt blev færdigt til tiden.

Da: Dagene gik, og projektet tog form.
En: Days passed, and the project took shape.

Da: Men en dag fandt Freja sig selv midt i en ophedet diskussion mellem Emil og Lucas om projektets retning.
En: But one day, Freja found herself in the middle of a heated discussion between Emil and Lucas about the project's direction.

Da: Emil ville ændre det hele i sidste øjeblik, mens Lucas, der endelig var på rette spor, ikke ønskede at rokke ved deres planlagte tidsplan.
En: Emil wanted to change everything at the last minute, while Lucas, who was finally on track, didn't want to disrupt their planned schedule.

Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding.
En: Freja took a deep breath.

Da: "Vi arbejder sammen som et team," sagde hun fast.
En: "We work together as a team," she said firmly.

Da: "Lad os finde et kompromis.
En: "Let's find a compromise."

Da: " Hun foreslog, at de inkorporerede nogle af Emils ideer uden at ændre hele projektet.

Da: På trods af udfordringerne havde de skabt noget fantastisk sammen.
