Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 

Chapter 8 Go to the Rats

פרק ראשון מתכנית הרדיו שלי "שמיים פתוחים" ששודרה ברדיו קול הכנרת. 
שמיים פתוחים היתה תכנית על מוזיקה ועל המסעות שלי ברחבי העולם בתור נוודת מעל עשור.
למרות שהתכנית מיועדת לדוברי עברית שוטפת, אני חושבת שמי שנמצא ברמה בינונית ומעלה, יוכל להנות מהפרקים.

כל שבוע בחרתי נושא אחר וממנו בחרתי את השירים. ובפרק הזה הנושא הוא- אביב
השירים רובם באנגלית או בשפות אחרות. לפעמים  גם עברית חחח

כל שבוע סיפרתי על הרפתקאה אחרת שקרתה לי. כל שבוע סיפור חדש וארץ חדשה. 
בפרק הזה אספר על המדינה קובה.

למי שמתקשה- יש לי את כל הטקסטים כתובים ואשמח לשלוח לכם כדי שתאזינו ותקראו באותו זמן. בהצלחה
אני מקווה שתהנו, כי אני מאוד נהניתי לשדר.

NOVEMBER COMPETITION!
We all know how difficult it can be to stay motivated when learning languages, so this month, English In A Teacup is holding a little competition for its listeners. The winners of the competition will get a personal shout out on the podcast and will also get to decide the next topic for Season 2 of my podcast coming out in December. 
To join, send me a message on italki and I will send you the form to fill in. 
In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we will be continuing with the topic of inversions as well as learning how to write letters.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who will be writing her own letter to a travel agency to complain about her holiday from hell. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

EP7: MAKING A COMPLAINT (B2-C2)

Sam is a meteor from outer space. After leaving his homeland orbit, Sam was pulled towards the nearest large planet. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, he faced so much resistance. This created extremely high temperatures which burned away layers and layers of his body. As a result, Sam, who used to be giant when floating in space, became so little that he could fit in a fisherman’s hand.
 
The overwhelming amount of pain Sam suffered as a result of his entry caused him to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness. When Sam struck the Earth, he was fast asleep. 

Waking up and opening his eyes, Sam sees nothing but a vast cloudless blue sky. An enormous wave of peace and serenity washes over him. He is like a newborn baby experiencing the wonder and mystery of life for the first time. For a few moments, this serene blueness the only mental phenomenon swimming around his meteor consciousness. Seconds later, questions appear. 

Where am I? What happened? What comes next?

Due to his traumatic experience, Sam has lost all memory of his life before coming to Earth. He rolls over and looks down the beach. There are some large laughing figures running around, chasing a flying red disk. Further away there are two large ones holding long boards under their arms while walking into the water. Closer to Sam, there are several little figures picking up other rocks and showing each other. 

“Wow, look at that one!” says one of the little boys. “It looks like emerald. With a little bit of sapphire too!” 

I wish that those boys will pick me up and take me with them… I want to explore, to see precisely what life on Earth has to offer…

“Come quick!” yells one of the boys, eagerly running straight to Sam. “Look at this one! It’s so strange and ugly, but fascinating at the same time!” 

“Grab it, quick! Before mom sees!” 

A distant voice calls for the two children to return to the family car. “Boys, we’re going now. Hurry up.”

Transcripción 

El león y el ratón

Había una vez un león que estaba durmiendo. Un ratón comenzó a correr sobre su cuerpo y lo despertó. El león, enfadado, atrapó al ratón con su gran garra. El ratón le suplicó al león que lo dejara ir, prometiéndole que algún día le devolvería el favor. El león, riéndose, lo dejó ir. Más tarde, el león fue atrapado en una red por unos cazadores. El ratón escuchó sus rugidos de ayuda y corrió para liberarlo, royendo la cuerda de la red. El león comprendió entonces que incluso los más pequeños pueden ayudar a los más grandes.
