 Đeo chuông cho mèo

Trong một cửa hàng bách hóa nọ có rất nhiều chuột. Hằng ngày, chúng phá phách và làm hư hỏng rất nhiều hàng hóa. Vì vậy, chủ tiệm đã quyết định mua một con mèo để dẹp yên lũ chuột này. Đàn chuột rất lo lắng về điều đó và tìm cách tự cứu lấy mình.

Một con chuột đứng dậy và nói: “Tôi có kế hoạch này, nếu chúng ta đeo một cái chuông vào cổ của con mèo thì mọi cử động của nó, chúng ta đều biết được”. Đây cũng là một ý kiến hay, thế nhưng vấn đề được đặt ra là ai sẽ làm điều đó. Và khi câu hỏi này được nêu lên, không một ai đáp lại.

HOLA A TODOS! Soy Camila, y soy de Buenos Aires, en mi acento conocido como 'Rioplatense' no usamos el pronombre TU para referirnos a 'singular you', usamos el pronombre VOS. ¿Sabías esto?

Al cambiar el pronombre, algunos verbos necesitan ajustarse y van a sonar diferente. En este podcast te muestro un poco de esa transformación verbal, y también del cambio en la entonación,

¿estás listo/a? 

DALE PLAY!

Being scared will make you fail a job interview or IELTS speaking!

What kind of attitude does it create?

Imagine yourself worrying about the past; what went on inside your mind?

Can you remember the thoughts you held? What were they?

Did you see the event in darker colors?

Were you afraid to take the next step? 

I can tell you that most people are the same, regardless of where we are from—we are humans; therefore, it's universal.

Listen to the recording and be inspired to take action towards your successes over your failures, as right now it's what most minds are occupied by.

To your success, and when you are ready to see me, apply for my classes, and let me help you take the next step in your English development journey.

Quadrilha

João amava Teresa que amava Raimundo
que amava Maria que amava Joaquim que amava Lili,
que não amava ninguém.
João foi para os Estados Unidos, Teresa para o convento,
Raimundo morreu de desastre, Maria ficou para tia,
Joaquim suicidou-se e Lili casou com J. Pinto Fernandes
que não tinha entrado na história.

[Alguma Poesia, 1930)

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL ABUELO TOMAS.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes una familia grande o pequeña?

2. ¿Que tipo de actividades haces con tu familia?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Mi abuelo Tomás tiene ochenta años y vive con nosotros. Tiene buena salud, aunque a veces dice que le duele una pierna, pero camina ágilmente cuando le llaman sus amigos para jugar a las cartas después de comer.

Todos los domingos me lleva a ver el futbol y después me compra un helado.

En vacaciones siempre viene con nosotros y le gusta mucho ir a la playa. A veces discute con mi padre cuando quiere ir a la montaña. Al final siempre se sale con la suya y mi padre acaba cediendo. Para compensarle siempre nos invita el primer día de vacaciones a un buen restaurante.

Quiero mucho a mi abuelo.

--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

男：最近年轻人多了一个吃饭的地方：超市。不是点外卖，也不是去附近的饭馆点菜，而是在公司或者小区楼下附近的超市去吃食堂。
女：嗯，同时，多家超市也进军了快餐业。
男：以北京为例，什么样的价格呢？15块钱的自助餐，30种荤素菜肴吃到饱。不仅是吸引了办公人群，同时连大学生也愿意来消费。
女：嗯，消费者说这方便省事儿，关键价格还便宜。另外啊超市经营者说核心啊，就是告别预制菜，天天平价。
男：专家说玩的就是比外卖更新鲜，比饭店更便宜。
女：坦白说最近几年这个电商超市非常火啊，配送的效率也很高，这对实体超市的冲击确实不小，但是现在呢超市把一些年轻人又拽回来了啊。超市本来就有食材，缺的就是个吃饭的地儿。地儿也有了，吃完饭顺便逛逛，或者逛完顺便吃个饭，主打一个效率。
男：但是不管在哪儿吃哈，这个食品安全都是最重要的。
