Fashion experts say that every stylish woman should have a 'capsule wardrobe' - a set of a few essential items for every occasion. The main elements are: a little black dress, the perfect jeans, a leather handbag, a fine wool jumper, white shirt, black skirt, etc. Being stylish is about what suits you and your body shape. Here are three golden rules:
• Spend as much as possible on the essential items (your capsule wardrobe) and don't worry too much about
fashionable clothes. Buy good quality brands whenever you can.
• Choose safe colours: black, cream, white and dark blue. These look smart, and are easy to match.
• A simple outfit can be improved with the latest bags and accessories.

Plática sobre El Carnaval ecuatoriano y algo más.

Mucho que decir

El Carnaval

DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?
CATHY: Well, I have a bad cough and a sore throat. I also have 
a headache.
DOCTOR: How long have you had these symptoms?
CATHY: About three days now. And I’m really tired, too.
DOCTOR: Hmm. It sounds like you’ve got the flu. Take aspirin
every four hours and get plenty of rest. Make sure you 
drink lots of fluids. Call me if you’re still sick next week.
CATHY: OK, thanks

LANGUAGE NOTES 
• What seems to be the problem? means “What is the problem?” Notice that the intonation 
falls at the end of the question. The doctor wants information, not a “yes/no” answer.
• Well is used as an introductory word. Notice how the vowel is drawn out, to sound like 
“Weeeeeell …” This can be used as a way to “buy time” while you think about what you 
want to say next.
• A bad cough … a sore throat … a headache: Notice the article “a” before each symptom.
• About is used to mean “more or less.” It’s used here to give an estimate of time.
• Take aspirin … get rest … Make sure … Call me: Notice the doctor uses the simple tense 
here to give instructions. This is the imperative form of the verb.
• Still sick means “continue to be sick.”
