En: On a warm summer afternoon by Balaton, the beaches were bustling with life. Hu: A Balaton Beachside Café közelében, a homokos parton, felállították a nagy művészeti versenyt: a homokvár építőversenyt. En: Near the Balaton Beachside Café, on the sandy shore, they had set up the big art competition: the sandcastle building contest. Hu: Az ég kék volt, a nap aranyló fénye szikrázott a vízfelszínen.

Hu: Katalin viccelődött: \"Na István, hogy állsz az új karriereddel? En: Katalin joked, \"So István, how's your new career coming along?\" Hu: \" Ádám nevetve hozzátette: \"Nézzük, mit alkot a mester!
