A sunny afternoon, a park bench, and a chance to watch people who walk on by. It’s one of the best ways to hang out with friends. In today’s episode we enjoy a whole lot of people watching in the park. But look out, people may be talking about you too!

Dialogue

A: Pega aquele banco, vai? Vamos desligar um pouquinho, beleza?

B: Ah, sentar na sombra num parque. Uma das grandes delícias da vida.

A: Além do mais podemos ficar olhando as pessoas no parque. Olha aquela senhora lá?

B: O que que ela está vestindo? Parece um chapéu de palha, um avental e um par de chinelos.

A: Adoro essa combinação! …E olha aquele casal!

B: Simplesmente adoro quando velhos casais caminham de mãos dadas, tão lindo.

A: Olha, tá vindo um Frisbee, cuidado!

C: Desculpa, valeu.

B: Tudo bem. Valeu meu amigo, pegou bem!

A: Grab that bench, will you? Let’s take a break for a bit, OK?

B: Ah, sitting in the shade in the park. One of life’s great delights.

A: Not to mention people watching in the park. Hey check out that lady over there?

B: What’s she wearing? Looks like a straw hat, an apron and flip flops.

A: Gotta love that combination! …And look at that couple!

B: I just love it when old couples walk hand in hand, just beautiful.

A: Look out, incoming Frisbee, duck!

C: Excuse me, thanks.

B: No problem. Nice catch buddy, nice catch.
