Dialogue

A: Ô Pai, vem cá, o micro-ondas pifou.

B: Como assim pifou? Não tá funcionando?

A: Não, parou. Olha, ainda tem a luz, mas não dá pra esquentar.

B: Estranho, você já pressionou “reset”?

A: Já, já tentei tudo. O que você acha, tentamos consertar ou compramos outro?

B: Hoje em dia não são muito caros, acho melhor comprar outro.


A: Hey dad, come here, the microwave just died.

B: What do you mean died? It’s not working?

A: No, it stopped. Look, it still has a light, but it won’t heat up.

B: Weird, did you press reset?

A: I did, I have tried everything. What do you think, try to fix it or buy another?

B: Nowadays they aren’t very expensive, it’s better just to get another one.
