1– He stood me up.

Emma: You won’t believe what happened last night. I got all dressed up (arrumei toda), waited at the café for an hour… and he never showed up (apareceu). I was so mad!

Sophie:
Wait, what? He just didn’t come? That’s unbelievable! Didn’t he at least (ao/pelo menos) call or text?

Emma:
Nope (nada). Nothing. I kept checking my phone, but there was no message at all. Not even a “sorry, I can’t make it (não vou conseguir ir)“.

Sophie:
Wow, that’s really rude. You deserve better than that. You looked so excited yesterday!

Emma:
I know! I even bought new shoes for the date. I hate being made a fool (me sentir feita de boba) like that. I felt so embarrassed (envergonhada) sitting there alone.

Sophie:
Forget him. A guy who doesn’t respect your time isn’t worth it (não vale a pena). Want to grab (tomar) some ice cream and talk more?

Emma:
That actually sounds perfect. I need something sweet to get over (superar/ esquecer) this disaster of a night.

Sophie:
I know a place nearby with the best chocolate fudge (doce de chocolate). Let’s go and get your smile back.

Emma:
Thanks, Sophie. You always know how to cheer me up (animar). I don’t know what I’d do without you.

Sophie:
That’s what friends are for (pra isso servem as amigas)! Let’s go. And next time, let’s do a girls’ night (fazer uma noite só entre meninas) instead—less drama.

Emma:
Deal! At least I know you won’t leave me waiting like that guy did.

Sophie:
Never! I’d rather (prefiro) face a thunderstorm than stand you up ( dar o cano em você). Let’s roll (bora / partiu)!

2 – Stomach trouble.

Julia: You look terrible, Lucas. Are you okay? You look like you didn’t sleep at all.

Lucas: It was a horrible night. I was throwing up (vomitando) all night and barely (mal) got any rest.

Julia: Oh no! Did you eat something bad (estragado)? Have you had this before?

Lucas: I think it was that snack from the corner. Since then, I haven’t felt hungry at all.

Julia: Did you see a doctor? It sounds serious, especially if you’re still feeling sick.

Lucas: Yeah, I went this morning. I got an injection (tomei uma injeção) to stop the nausea. But my stomach still hurts a lot.

Julia: Sometimes I feel something similar when I can’t burp (arrotar). It gets stuck (fica preso) and hurts.

Lucas: Exactly! I tried to burp, but nothing came out. The pressure was so bad I thought I’d faint (desmaiar).

Julia: You need fluids (líquidos). Have you tried chamomile tea or coconut water?

Lucas: My mom made some tea, but the taste made me feel sick again. I still can’t keep anything down.

Julia: Poor thing (coitado)… If this continues tomorrow, go back to the doctor. You can’t mess around with (brincar com isso/ negligenciar) that.

Lucas: Yes, I’ll follow your advice. Thanks for caring, Julia.

Julia: Always! Real friends help each other. Call me if you need anything, okay?

Lucas: I will. I already feel a bit better just talking to you.

3 – Back to the gym!

Diego: Carla, I really need to get back (voltar) to the gym. I’ve been feeling lazy (preguiçoso) and out of shape (fora de forma).

Carla: So why don’t you go back? Just taking the first step already makes a big difference.

Diego: It’s hard. I need to overcome (superar) my lack (falta) of motivation. I always find excuses not to go.

Carla: I understand. I’ve been there too (também já passei por isso). But once you build a routine (cria uma rotina), everything gets easier.

Diego: I wish I could be more dedicated. I start excited, but I give up (desisto) by the second week.

Carla: Maybe you need a workout partner (parceiro de treino). Someone to motivate you and not let you quit (desistir/ abandonar).

Diego: That’s a good idea! Would you go with me a few times? Maybe that would help me build a habit.

Carla: Sure! We can start light, just to get back into the rhythm. I need it too.

Diego: Perfect! If I have company, I think it will be more fun and less tiring (cansativo).

Carla: Definitely. And we can set small goals (combinar metas simples), like going three times a week.

Diego: I like that idea. I also want to eat better and sleep better.

Carla: It’s all connected. Taking care of (cuidar) your body helps take care of your mind too.

Diego: Thanks, Carla. Talking to you gave me more motivation than I expected.

Carla: I’m glad (contente) to hear that. Let’s do this together! Monday is a great day to start.
