Spanish Text 1<\/h2>\n
\nEmma: No estoy muy bien.
\nDaniel: \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa?
\nEmma: Estoy cansada.
\nDaniel: Raro. Siempre tienes mucha energ\u00eda.
\nEmma: Normalmente s\u00ed, pero \u00faltimamente me siento muy cansada.
\nDaniel: Eres una persona muy trabajadora \u00bfCuantos d\u00edas trabajas ahora? \u00bfSeis?
\nEmma: Desde Julio, siete d\u00edas.
\nDaniel: Bueno, ah\u00ed tenemos el problema, trabajas demasiado.
\nEmma: S\u00ed. Pero no s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo relajarme.
\nDaniel: Primero, trabajar menos. Cinco d\u00edas m\u00e1ximo.
\nEmma: Pero me gusta mi trabajo. Es la \u00fanica cosa en mi vida que me gusta.
\nDaniel: \u00bfEn serio? Perdona pero esto es un poco raro. Y un poco triste tambi\u00e9n. \u00bfNo tienes aficiones o amigas con qui\u00e9n quieres salir?
\nEmma: No tengo aficiones. Tengo amigas y salimos a veces pero es aburrido.
\nDaniel: Creo que est\u00e1s un poco deprimida. Y en mi opini\u00f3n la ra\u00edz est\u00e1 en que trabajas demasiado.
\nEmma: Igual tienes raz\u00f3n Daniel.
\nDaniel: Tu salud, mental y f\u00edsica, es lo m\u00e1s importante.

\nEmma: I’m not very well.
\nDaniel: What’s wrong?
\nEmma: I’m tired.
\nDaniel: Strange. You always have a lot of energy.
\nEmma: Normally yes, but lately I feel very tired.
\nDaniel: You are a hard worker. How many days do you work now? Six?
\nEmma: Since July, seven days.
\nDaniel: Well, there we have the problem, you work too much.
\nEmma: Yes. But I don\u2019t know how to relax.
\nDaniel: Firstly, work less. Five days maximum.
\nEmma: But I like my job. It’s the only thing in my life that I like.
\nDaniel: Really? Sorry but that is a bit odd. And a little sad too. Don\u2019t you have hobbies or friends with whom you want to go out?
\nEmma: I don\u2019t have hobbies. I have friends and we go out sometimes but it’s boring.
\nDaniel: I think you’re a little depressed. And in my opinion the root cause is that you work too much.
\nEmma: You’re right, Daniel.
\nDaniel: Your health, mental and physical, is the most important thing.
\nEmma: Thanks for your concern Daniel.<\/p>\nEnglish Text 2<\/h2>\n
