Ca: Tenia una pasió per la ciència del medi ambient, però la seva por de parlar davant de la gent sempre el bloquejava.
En: He had a passion for environmental science, but his fear of speaking in front of people always held him back.

Ca: Jordi va respirar profundament.
En: Jordi took a deep breath.
Ca: Sabia que si volia demostrar les seves capacitats, havia de superar la seva por.

Ca: Va començar la seva presentació seguint un esquema preparat.
En: He started his presentation following a prepared outline.
Ca: Però, de sobte, un mal funcionament tècnic li va fer fallar el seu audiovisual.

Ca: Un batec de cor va ressonar en la seva oïda.
En: A heartbeat resounded in his ear.
Ca: Aquest era el moment més temut.
En: This was the moment he feared most.
Ca: Però el Jordi no es va deixar vèncer.

Ca: No havia de ser perfecte per fer un impacte.

En: His voice, once muted by fear, now emerged with strength.
Ca: Va mirar al seu voltant i va veure les cares orgulloses de Martina i Aina.
