Ca: Era un dia de primavera i el campus universitari estava ple de vida.

Ca: Portar una mica de la seva terra al dormitori: organitzar una calçotada a l'interior per celebrar Sant Jordi amb els seus amics Marta i Guillem.

Ca: Va obrir totes les finestres per deixar entrar la fresca brisa de primavera, esperant que això ajudés a evitar el pànic d'un possible fumador.

En: asked Marta, as she began making paper roses.
Ca: "Tinc un bon pressentiment," va contestar Oriol amb un somriure.

Ca: Entre riures i converses, van distribuir llibres de literatura catalana entre els companys de dormitori.
En: Among laughter and conversations, they distributed books of Catalan literature among the dormitory mates.
Ca: La festa es va omplir de l'aroma dolça dels calçots torrats just quan, de sobte, l'alarma d'incendi va començar a sonar.
En: The party filled with the sweet aroma of roasted calçots just when, suddenly, the fire alarm started ringing.
Ca: Un crit d'alerta es va escampar pel dormitori.
En: A cry of alert spread through the dormitory.
Ca: "Calma, calma!
En: "Calm down, calm down!"
Ca: " Oriol va cridar, aixecant les mans.
En: Oriol shouted, raising his hands.
Ca: "Jo m'encarrego.
En: "I'll take care of it."

En: Amidst the chaos, Mr. Thompson, the dormitory manager, arrived.
Ca: Amb sorpresa, Oriol va veure que, en comptes de renyar-los, el senyor Thompson observava
