Márcio sempre acorda tarde, então ele raramente toma café-da-manhã. Às vezes ele come em um restaurante antes de ir para a aula. Ao meio dia, Márcio vai para escola e come um lanche com os amigos às 15h. Ele gosta de cozinhar, então quando ele chega em casa, Márcio faz jantar enquanto ouve música. Antes de se deitar, Márcio passeia com seu cão e toma um banho. Às 23h ele assiste seriados na TV e em seguida vai dormir.
Márcio always wakes up late, so he rarely has breakfast. Sometimes he eats at a restaurant before going to class. At noon, Márcio goes to school and has a snack with his friends at 3pm. Ele likes to cook, so when he gets home, Márcio makes dinner while he listens to music. Before going to bed, Márcio walks his dog and takes a shower. At 11pm he watches series on TV and goes to bed afterwards.
O dia de Paula começa cedo. Ela acorda às 6h, come uma salada de frutas e vai para a academia. Depois, Paula volta para a casa e toma um banho.
