TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Último de su Especie.


Adam era el último humano. En una estación espacial solitaria, era el único vestigio de una especie extinta. Una señal antigua lo llevó a un planeta habitado por alienígenas que vivían en armonía con la tecnología. Allí, encontró una comunidad que lo acogió, brindándole un sentido de pertenencia que nunca antes había experimentado.

Los alienígenas, seres pacíficos y curiosos, se fascinaron con las historias de Adam sobre la Tierra. A su vez, Adam aprendió mucho de ellos sobre su mundo, su historia y su filosofía. Descubrió que, a pesar de sus diferencias físicas y culturales, compartían valores universales como la búsqueda del conocimiento y la esperanza en el futuro.

Con el tiempo, Adam comenzó a sentirse menos solo. La comunidad alienígena lo había ayudado a sanar las heridas emocionales causadas por la pérdida de su especie. A través de su interacción con ellos, había desarrollado una nueva perspectiva sobre la vida y el universo. Se dio cuenta de que, aunque era diferente,era parte de algo más grande.
