Ciboulet et l'ascenseur 
Le grand-père de Ciboulet vit au huitième étage d’un bel immeuble. Ciboulet aime bien l'appartement de son grand-père: quand le petit ours regarde par la fenêtre, les gens sur le trottoir paraissent tout petits!
Un après-midi, son grand-père propose:
- Si nous allions nous promener?
- Oh oui, s'écrie le petit ours. 
Le grand-père prend les clefs et ajoute:
- Pendant que je ferme la porte, appelle l'ascenseur!
Alors Ciboulet va sur le palier et crie:
- Ascenseur! Ascenseur!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Enigmático Mensaje parte 1.


Elena se encontraba en su estudio, frente a su ordenador, intentando encontrar la inspiración para su próxima novela. De pronto, un golpe sordo resonó en la puerta principal. Al abrir, se encontró con un sobre manila sin remitente. Con el corazón acelerado, lo abrió y encontró un solo papel con una frase escrita a mano: "El mar guarda secretos".

Intrigada, Elena salió a la calle y se dirigió al faro, un lugar al que solía ir para encontrar paz y tranquilidad. Allí, mientras contemplaba el inmenso océano, recordó una antigua leyenda local que hablaba de un tesoro escondido en las profundidades del mar y de una maldición que pesaba sobre aquellos que intentaran encontrarlo.

Al regresar a su casa, Elena se encontró con Martín, quien había venido a informarle sobre una serie de extraños sucesos que habían estado ocurriendo en el pueblo: desapariciones inexplicables, pesadillas recurrentes entre los habitantes y un creciente sentimiento de temor.

Martín, al escuchar la historia de Elena y el mensaje misterioso, se dio cuenta de que ambos hechos podrían estar conectados. Juntos, decidieron investigar más a fondo, adentrándose en un laberinto de secretos y peligros que los llevarían a descubrir una verdad oculta que sacudiría los cimientos del pueblo.

Have you ever wondered if the festive magic of Christmas could transform your language learning? It did for me! Let me take you back to one chilly December when I felt stuck and uninspired in my language studies. I decided to embrace the holiday spirit and experiment with writing Christmas cards in my target language, watching festive movies with subtitles, and even learning carols. To my surprise, these small steps reignited my passion and made learning fun again.

This Christmas, why not give yourself the gift of language? Tune in to Episode 60 of "111 Tips for Learning a Language" to discover how the spirit of giving, connection, and patience during the holidays can inspire your learning journey. 🎁
