Microrrelato "Mi Abuela hablaba italiano"

SHANNON: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting 
me to the musical.
ELENA: You are welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed the show. 
The choreography of the dancers was incredible. It 
reminds me of when I used to dance.
SHANNON: I know! You were such a talented ballerina. Do you 
miss dancing?
ELENA: Oh, that’s very kind of you, Shannon. I do miss it 
sometimes. But I will always be a fan of the arts. That’s 
why I love going to musicals because it’s the perfect 
combination of song, dance and theater.
SHANNON: Absolutely! I’m glad you are still an art fan too. Thank 
you for the invitation. It’s always a pleasure to attend 
an arts event with you and learn something new


LANGUAGE NOTES
• You are welcome. Elena replies “You are welcome” in this dialogue. She could also say, 
“Don’t mention it,” which is an example of downgrading. Downgrading a compliment 
varies with culture. When in doubt, just say “You are welcome.”
• When getting a compliment to someone (for example: “You were such a talented
ballerina”), you can either accept the compliment (“That’s very kind of you”) or 
downplay the compliment (“Oh, I wasn’t that good”).
• Giving compliments in English often includes using superlatives (“the most …,” “the 
best …”). This is the best musical playing on Broadway! / What’s the most entertaining 
movie you’ve seen? However, compliments can also be given by using the construction 
“I’m a fan of …”: I’m a fan of the arts. / I’m a big fan of theater. / I’m a huge fan of this 
band. Notice the use of adjectives

Привет! Voici une histoire de visite chez le médecin. J’utilise la méthode TPRS comme d’habitude. 

Днём Катя была у врача. Врач поставил диагноз и назначил лечение. Вот как это было.

- Вам трудно дышать?
- Да, немного.
- Насморк?
- Нет, насморка нет.
- Есть температура?
- Да, утром температура была 38 градусов. Сейчас 37.
- Голова болит?
- Да, у меня очень болит голова.
- Я думаю, у вас грипп. Я выпишу вам рецепт и дам больничный. Оставайтесь дома 5 дней и принимайте лекарства. Через 5 дней приходите ко мне на повторный приём.
- Спасибо, доктор!
