 A: Ugh my closet is such a mess! I can barely step in it.
Ai, meu closet tá a maior bagunça! Mal consigo entrar.
  B: Oh, I just finished organizing mine! Now that I have some free time on my hands, I can help you out.
Eu acabei de organizar o meu. Agora que eu tô com mais tempo livre eu posso te ajudar.
  A: Sounds good. I think my biggest problem is that I have a lot of clothes that don’t fit anymore.
Que bom! Acho que o maior problema é que tenho um montão de roupa que já não cabe mais.
  B: We can start by making piles of clothes to keep or toss. From there, we can start thinking about where to store your clothes.
A gente pode começar fazendo uma pilha de roupa pra guardar e outra pra dar. Depois a gente vê onde vai guardar suas roupas.
  A: I would like to hang all my clothes, if possible, but I know that some things will have to go in drawers.
Eu queria guardar tudo pendurado em cabides, pelo menos em teoria, mas sei que muita coisa vai acabar parando nas gavetas.
  B: What about stuff like hats, swimsuits, and pajamas?
E coisas tipo chapéu, roupa de banho e pijama?
  A: Maybe we can put them in bins.
De repente a gente pode botar em caixas.
  B: Wow! Your closet looks great now! Let’s ask dad to vacuum the floors for a nice finish.
Nossa! Seu closet agora tá ótimo! Vamos pedir ao papai pra passar o aspirador de pó pra ficar perfeito.
