2. Ana: ¿Es tan claro? Ya no tengo confianza y no me siento motivada en el trabajo. (Is it that obvious? I no longer have confidence and I don't feel motivated at work.)
3. Pedro: ¿Cuál es el problema? (What is the problem?)
4. Ana: Tengo poca flexibilidad y esto está afectando también mi vida personal. (I have little flexibility and this is also affecting my personal life.)
