To je vždy populárne!“ navrhla Jana s odhodlaním v hlase.En: "I think we should have a Hollywood theme.

Je to čas, keď si pripomíname našich predkov.En: "All Souls' Day is approaching. It’s a time when we remember our ancestors.Sk: Mohli by sme to urobiť osobitým a výnimočným. Ples venovaný spomienke a oslave.En: We could make it unique and special. A ball dedicated to remembrance and celebration.Sk: Farby, svetlá, kvety...“En: Colors, lights, flowers..."Sk: Trieda stíchla a všetci sústredene počúvali Mareka.En: The class fell silent, and everyone listened intently to Marek.Sk: Janina tvár zneistela, keď videla skutočnú vášeň v Marekových očiach.En: Jana's face showed uncertainty as she saw the genuine passion in Marek's eyes.Sk: Marekov návrh bol úprimný a originálny.En: Marek's proposal was sincere and original.Sk: Rýchlo sa ozvali ohlasy súhlasu.En: Quickly, there were expressions of agreement.Sk: „To znie úžasne,“ povedal Pavol po chvíli zamyslenia.En: "That sounds amazing," said Pavol after a moment of reflection.Sk: „Niečo také sme ešte neskúsili.“En: "We've never tried something like that before."Sk: "Súhlasím. Mohli by sme to prepojiť aj s charitou," navrhla ďalšia spolužiačka.En: "I agree.
