3.1 Write a small paragraph in English.

O Harry tinha sempre sido pequeno e esquelético para a sua idade. Ele parecia ainda mais pequeno e esquelético do que era realmente porque tudo o que tinha para vestir era roupas velhas do Dudley e o Dudley era cerca de quatro vezes maior do que ele. O Harry tinha uma face magra, cabelo preto e olhos verdes brilhantes. Usava óculos redondos mantidos juntos com muita fita-cola por causa de todas as vezes que o Dudley o tinha esmurrado no nariz. A única coisa que o Harry gostava sobre a sua própria aparência era uma cicatriz muito fina na sua testa.

3.1

Harry had always been small and skinny for his age. He looked even smaller and skinnier than he really was because all he had to wear were old clothes of Dudley’s and Dudley was about four times bigger than he was. Harry had a thin face, black hair and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of Sellotape because of all the times Dudley had punched him on the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead.
