When you are too tired to wait for a table during meal time, and you want to ask if you can share the table with others, you may say’不好意思，可以拼桌吗？(bù hǎo yì si , kě yǐ pīn zhuō ma?)-Excuse me, would you mind sharing the table?’ ‘拼’ means ‘put together’, so several people using one table actually indicates putting these people together.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE MARISA UNA CHICA INTELIGENTE.

Antes de comenzar la lectura.

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Marisa tiene fama de ser muy observadora e inteligente. Un día, sus amigos
y amigas deciden ponerla a prueba. Van a visitarla y le llevan cuatro rosas;
una de ellas es de plástico.

 Cuando le dan las rosas le piden que adivine, sin
tocarlas, cuál es la rosa de plástico.


Marisa decide poner las flores en un jarrón con agua y sacarlas al jardín,
donde su madre les ha preparado la merienda.

Marisa no deja de observar las flores del jarrón. Una abeja se para en ellas
para recoger el polen . Sus amigos están merendando y se han olvidado de
las rosas; pero Marisa no.

Al cabo de un rato, Marisa exclama:

-¡Ya está!. ¡Ya sé cuál es la rosa de plástico!. Es esta.
Marisa lo ha acertado.

If learning English really worked, why do you still panic?

This short episode explores a question many adult learners quietly struggle with:
why English feels “there” in class, but disappears in interviews, meetings, or conversations with native speakers.

Based on patterns observed in years of working with adult learners in professional contexts, the episode looks at why vocabulary, grammar, apps, and repeated courses often don’t lead to confidence when pressure appears.

Instead of focusing on “learning more,” this episode invites listeners to reflect on what happens inside them in high-stakes moments — and why the problem may not be language knowledge at all.

The goal is not to offer quick fixes, but to help learners recognize a hidden gap that keeps English feeling endless, frustrating, and unreliable, even after years of study.

Written and recorded to encourage clarity, self-observation, and a new way of thinking about progress.
