Hr: Na obali Jadranskog mora, svjetlost mjeseca obasjavala je plažu.
En: On the shore of the Jadransko more, the moonlight illuminated the beach.
Hr: Valovi su tiho zapljuskivali pijesak, a jesen je donijela zlatne listove koje su plutali morem.
En: The waves quietly lapped against the sand, and autumn brought golden leaves that floated on the sea.
Hr: Ivica, skroman student znanosti o okolišu, stajao je na ulazu plaže, pomalo nervozan.
En: Ivica, a modest environmental science student, stood at the entrance of the beach, somewhat nervous.

Hr: "Ooh, počinje!
En: "Ooh, it's starting!"

En: I just wish more people understood the importance of caring for the environment," he said shyly.
Hr: Kako su razgovarali, Ivica se malo po malo opuštao.

Hr: Nakon nekog vremena, Ivica je poveo Mariju do dijela plaže gdje je imao ideju.

Hr: "Možda bismo mogli ovdje postaviti informativne table", predložio je.
En: "Maybe we could set up informational signs here," he suggested.
Hr: "Ljudi bi više pažnje obraćali na zaštitu ako znaju zašto je važno.
