Dialogue
A: Ana! Para de tocar essa chatice no clarinete.
B: Não é chatice! Eu tenho que tocar isso pra escola.
A: Essa música é um saco! E além do mais tô fazendo meu dever de química e seu clarinete tá me tirando a concentração!
B: E eu tô fazendo o meu dever de clarinete. É importante pra mim. Quero ser chefe de naipe!
A: Eu não acho que o seu professor de clarinete iria te mandar estudar uma coisa tão irritante. Cala a boca por favor pra eu poder fazer meu dever.
B: Tá bom, eu vou parar pra você fazer essa porcaria de dever de química.
A: Vou demorar mais ou menos meia hora. Tô quase terminando.
B: Enquanto isso acho que vou ver alguma coisa na Netflix.
A: Ana! Can you stop playing that nonsense on the clarinet?
B: This isn't nonsense! I have to play this for school!
A: That song sucks! Plus, I am doing my chemistry homework and your clarinet is distracting me!
B: I’m doing my clarinet homework! This is important to me! I want to be first chair.
A: I don’t think that your clarinet teacher would assign you something so annoying. Please shut up so I can get to work.
B: Fine, I’ll stop so you can do your stupid chemistry homework.
A: I’ll probably take about half an hour more. I am almost done.
B: I guess I’ll just watch something on Netflix until then.
