3. Leia o texto abaixo.

I met Steve on the first day of elementary school, when I was six. It wasn’t love
at first sight; it was exactly the opposite – I hated him!
I was wearing a beautiful, new dress because it was the first day of school. At
lunch time, Steve ran into me and spilled grape juice all over my dress. I was furious.
 After elementary school, I didn’t see him for a long time. Then one day, when I
was 20, I went to a football game at my college. Suddenly, someone behind me spilled a
cold beer on me – it was Steve! He said “I’m sorry” about ten times. I liked him!
After that, we started going out together. We fell in love, and four years later, we
got married in New York.

Eu conheci Steve no primeiro dia de aula do primário, eu tinha seis anos. Não foi amor à
primeira vista, foi exatamente o contrário – eu o odiei!
Eu estava usando um lindo vestido novo porque era o primeiro dia de aula. Na hora do almoço,
Steve correu de encontro a mim e derramou suco de uva por toda a minha roupa. Eu fiquei furiosa.
Depois do primário, eu não o vi mais por um longo período. Até que um dia, quando eu tinha 20
anos, eu fui a um jogo de futebol na faculdade. De repente, alguém que estava atrás derramou cerveja
gelada em mim – era Steve! Ele disse “Desculpe-me” umas dez vezes. Eu gostei dele!
Depois disso, nós começamos a sair juntos. Nos apaixonamos e, quatro anos depois, nos
casamos em Nova Iorque.
