entrades per al partit i que m’esperava a l’estadi. Estava súper
content. Quan vaig arribar a l’estadi, feia vint minuts que jugaven,

deures i estudiant. Ha aprovat tots els exàmens que ha fet mai. A: Jo
vaig suspendre l’examen d’Història la setmana pasada. Va ser molt
decepcionant perquè havia estat estudiant molt per a aquest examen.

aprovat! B: No importa, estic segur que aprovaràs el proper examen!
