Pb: O sol da tarde brilhava suavemente sobre o Parque do Ibirapuera.
En: The afternoon sun shone softly over Parque do Ibirapuera.
Pb: As folhas, em vários tons de laranja e amarelo, balançavam preguiçosamente ao vento de outono.
En: The leaves, in various shades of orange and yellow, swayed lazily in the autumn breeze.
Pb: FamÃlias espalhavam-se pelos gramados, desfrutando do clima ameno de São Paulo.
En: Families were scattered across the lawns, enjoying the mild weather of São Paulo.

Pb: Ele, Mariana e Bianca tinham planejado um piquenique.

Pb: Levantou-se lentamente, respirando fundo, e caminhou para longe da área de piquenique.
En: He stood up slowly, taking a deep breath, and walked away from the picnic area.
