ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL SOL Y EL VIENTO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Prefieres los días calurosos o los días fríos?

2. ¿Que cosas puedes hacer en un clima caluroso?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


El sol y el viento discutían para ver quién era el más fuerte.
El viento decía: ¿Ves aquel anciano envuelto en una capa?
Te apuesto a que le haré quitar la capa más rápido que tú.

Se ocultó el sol tras una nube y comenzó a soplar el viento,
cada vez con más fuerza, hasta ser casi un ciclón,
pero cuanto más soplaba tanto más se envolvía el hombre en la capa.
Por fin el viento se calmó y se declaró vencido.

Y entonces salió el sol y sonrió dulcemente al anciano.
No pasó mucho tiempo hasta que el anciano,
acalorado, se quitó la capa.

El sol demostró entonces al viento que la suavidad
y el amor de los abrazos son más poderosos
que la furia y la fuerza.

Herkese merhaba.Bu gün harika bir şiir ile Türkçe’de “if clause” cümlelerini
öğreneceğiz. Hadi başlayalım!
Koşul veya şart kelimeleri İngilizce’de “condition” demek.
Türkçe’de if clause yani koşul cümlesi kurmak aslında çok kolay: sadece if
clause cümlesinin sonuna -sa/-se koşul ekini getiriyoruz. Şu örneğe bakalım :
Yağmur yağar > It rains
Dışarı çıkmam. > I don’t go out.
Koşul cümlemiz “ yağmur yağar”.Yani bu cümlenin sonuna -sa /-se ekini
getiriyoruz.
Yağmur yağarsa dışarı çıkmam. > It means “If it rains ,I won’t go out.”

cümlesi var. Hadi inceleyelim.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
