Story Transcript:
Ca: A la Barcelona High School, un sol intens travessava les grans finestres de la classe, il·luminant el terra amb raigs càlids.
En: At Barcelona High School, an intense sun shone through the large windows of the classroom, illuminating the floor with warm rays.
Ca: Les taules estaven plenes d'estudiants estudiant els seus apunts.
En: The desks were filled with students studying their notes.
Ca: Al davant de la classe, la pissarra blanca estava plena de mapes i dates de la història de Catalunya.
En: At the front of the class, the whiteboard was covered with maps and dates of the history of Catalunya.
Ca: Teresa estava asseguda amb els seus amics, Oriol i Marta.
En: Teresa was sitting with her friends, Oriol and Marta.
Ca: Era una estudiant molt aplicada, però patia en secret un gran temor: parlar en públic.
En: She was a very diligent student, but secretly suffered from a great fear: public speaking.
Ca: El sol pensament de fer-ho li feia venir papallones a l’estómac.
En: The very thought of doing it gave her butterflies in her stomach.
Ca: Aquesta vegada, el projecte d’història era el seu repte.
En: This time, the history project was her challenge.
Ca: Volia fer una presentació brillant per augmentar la seva confiança i millorar la seva nota.
En: She wanted to give a brilliant presentation to boost her confidence and improve her grade.
Ca: —Teresa, ho faràs molt bé —la va animar Oriol, veient la seva inquietud.
En: "Teresa, you’ll do great," Oriol encouraged her, noticing her anxiety.
Ca: —Sí, estem amb tu!
En: "Yes, we’re with you!"
Ca: —va afegir Marta somrient.
En: Marta added, smiling.
Ca: Teresa sabia que ella sola no podia superar el seu temor, així que va prendre una decisió.
En: Teresa knew she couldn’t overcome her fear alone, so she made a decision.
Ca: Els dies abans de la presentació, va practicar el seu discurs davant d'Oriol i Marta.
En: In the days before the presentation, she practiced her speech in front of Oriol and Marta.
Ca: Al principi, la seva veu tremolava, però poc a poc va començar a sentir-se més segura.
En: At first, her voice trembled, but slowly she began to feel more confident.
Ca: Els amics li van donar consells i ànims, i la van ajudar a corregir petits detalls.
En: Her friends gave her advice and encouragement, and helped her correct small details.
Ca: Finalment, va arribar el dia de la presentació.
En: Finally, the day of the presentation arrived.
Ca: Teresa es va posar davant de tota la classe.
En: Teresa stood in front of the whole class.
Ca: Les cames li tremolaven lleugerament i el cor li bategava amb força.
En: Her legs trembled slightly, and her heart pounded.
Ca: Va respirar profundament abans de començar a parlar.
En: She took a deep breath before starting to speak.
Ca: Amb les primeres paraules, el nerviosisme la va envair.
En: With the first words, nervousness engulfed her.
Ca: Però va recordar els assajos amb els seus amics i va sentir una calor reconfortant a l'interior.
En: But she remembered the rehearsals with her friends and felt a comforting warmth inside.
Ca: Això li va donar coratge.
En: This gave her courage.
Ca: Les paraules van començar a fluir millor, i va acabar el seu discurs amb un somriure als llavis.
En: The words started to flow better, and she finished her speech with a smile on her lips.
Ca: Els seus companys van aplaudir, i Oriol i Marta li van fer senyals d'aprovació amb els polzes alçats.
En: Her classmates applauded, and Oriol and Marta gave her thumbs-ups in approval.
Ca: Teresa se sentia orgullosa.
En: Teresa felt proud.
Ca: Havia superat el seu temor i havia après que era capaç de parlar davant dels altres.
En: She had overcome her fear and learned she was capable of speaking in front of others.
Ca: Sabia que encara hauria de treballar per millorar, però aquest pas ja era un gran canvi.
En: She knew she still had to work to improve, but this step was already a significant change.
Ca: Quan va sortir de la classe al costat d'Oriol i Marta, el sol de Barcelona semblava brillar més intensament que mai.
En: When she left the classroom alongside Oriol and Marta, the Barcelona sun seemed to shine more brightly than ever.
