Part 1: Read the following text in Portuguese from the website of the Portuguese shoe

company Josefinas and translate it into English

Josefinas
Como Tudo começou…

Um dia uma mulher sonhou, outras juntaram-se, e o sonho foi transformado em realidade.
A Josefinas é uma marca portuguesa que nasceu de um sonho. Num país em plena crise, onde
sonhar tinha pouco espaço, o fazer sapatos à mão ganhou um novo nome: Josefinas.

Em Portugal, o savoir-faire dos artesãos e a paixão por uma ideia permanecem intactos, e o
nunca desistir deu um cunho à Josefinas e aos valores que representa. O nome “Josefinas”
nasceu em homenagem à avó da fundadora da marca, que costumava levá-la às aulas de ballet
e que lhe mostrou que as mulheres são capazes de tudo. Esperamos que a história da Josefinas
inspire o caminho de muitas outras mulheres diretamente para a concretização dos seus
sonhos, tal como, diariamente, nos inspira a nós!
