A representative is like a superhero for a group of people. Imagine you and your friends want to decide on a game to play, but not everyone can talk at the same time. So, you choose one friend to speak for everyone. That friend is the representative. They listen to what everyone wants and then share those ideas with the group.

Think of a representative as a bridge. When there is a river, a bridge helps people cross from one side to the other. A representative helps ideas and messages travel from one group of people to another. They make sure everyone’s thoughts are heard, even if they can’t all speak at once.

A representative is also like a translator. If two people speak different languages, a translator helps them understand each other. In the same way, a representative helps different people understand each other’s needs and opinions. They make sure that everyone’s voice is heard and understood, even if they can’t all speak directly to each other.
