Is it true: "Money doesn't buy happiness"?

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL RATÓN PANCHO QUE A VECES PUEDE SER DESPISTADO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Te consideras una persona despistada?

2. ¿Que es lo mas vergonzoso que te ha ocurrido?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Había una vez una casa en la esquina, que tenía las
ventanas verdes. Allí vivía un ratón que se llamaba
Pancho.

Un día salió de su escondite y muy decidido se fue a
cazar gatos.

Cuando llegó al pasillo se escondió detrás de un
mueble grande que tenía muchos cajones y esperó a ver
cuando llegaba el gato.

Estando allí escondido moviendo sus bigotes, se puso
a pensar y dijo: -¡¡Anda, si los ratones no cazan gatos, es
al revés!!

Se asustó mucho.

Y le entró tanto miedo, que salió corriendo hacia su
escondite. Parecía un coche de carreras de lo deprisa que
iba.

Pancho es un ratón de lo más despistado.

As a pessimist, you might view language learning as hard work—and you’re not wrong.
Language acquisition requires effort, repetition, and managing confusion.

Here’s the beautiful part: Pessimists tend to manage disappointment better than idealists.
When you anticipate difficulty, you're less likely to be devastated by it.

In psychological terms, this creates cognitive resilience—the ability to stay in the game even when things go wrong. You expect challenges. You face them head-on. You recover faster because you weren’t expecting ease.

You might never say, “I’m going to be fluent in a year.” That’s okay.
But you might say, “I’m going to keep learning, even if progress is slow.”
And that is the spirit of persistence.
Don’t try to change who you are. Just learn to steer with it.
Pessimism doesn’t mean you’re giving up—it means you’re prepared to endure.
And that, my dear listener, is what long-term success looks like.

In this video, I explained why I will move to Astana without going into too much detail. I preferred slow narration and understandable language. This podcast is suitable for A2-B2 level Turkish learners. It may be difficult for A1 level students, but remember, no pain, no gain!
