Pt: Era um dia perfeito, mas para três estudantes, a ansiedade dominava o coração.

Pt: Tiago, Inês e João estavam sentados num dos bancos de madeira, rodeados pelo burburinho do mercado.

Pt: "Preciso conseguir uma boa nota neste exame," murmurava para si mesmo.

Pt: Queria uma bolsa para um programa de verão em arqueologia.
En: He wanted a scholarship for a summer program in archaeology.

Pt: Inês, sempre animada, falava incessantemente sobre tudo menos história.
En: Inês, always cheerful, was talking incessantly about everything except history.

Pt: "Tiago, tens de relaxar um pouco!
En: "Tiago, you need to relax a bit!

Pt: Vamos fazer isso juntos!"
En: Let's do this together!"

Pt: dizia, com um sorriso largo.
En: she said with a wide smile.

Pt: Mas Tiago só conseguia pensar nos factos históricos que não conseguia decorar.
En: But Tiago could only think about the historical facts he couldn't memorize.

Pt: João estava relativamente calado, a observar os dois com atenção.
En: João was relatively quiet, watching the other two attentively.

Pt: A caneta de João não parava, anotando qualquer coisa que julgasse importante.
En: João's pen never stopped, noting down anything he deemed important.

Pt: Naquela tarde, ele parecia distante, mas estava atento a tudo.
En: That afternoon, he seemed distant, but he was attentive to everything.

Pt: Tiago decidiu que precisavam unir forças.
En: Tiago decided they needed to join forces.

Pt: "Vamos formar um grupo de estudo," sugeriu ele, hesitante.
En: "Let's form a study group," he suggested, hesitantly.

Pt: "Podemos ajudar-nos mutuamente."
En: "We can help each other."

Pt: Inês concordou de imediato, contente por estar com os amigos.
En: Inês agreed immediately, happy to be with friends.

Pt: João assentiu silenciosamente, ocupado a tomar notas.
En: João nodded silently, busy taking notes.

Pt: Ao envolverem-se na matéria, Inês estava a ser divertida mas distraída, o que irritou Tiago.
En: As they got into the material, Inês was being fun but distracting, which irritated Tiago.

Pt: "Inês, preciso de concentração!
En: "Inês, I need concentration!

Pt: Não posso focar-me com tanta conversa!"
En: I can't focus with so much chatter!"

Pt: exclamou ele, perdendo a paciência.
En: he exclaimed, losing patience.

Pt: Houve um momento tenso, mas João, inesperadamente, interveio.
