Letter I 

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE CLARA Y SUS PADRES QUE VIVEN EN UNA CASA.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿tu casa es pequeña o grande?

2. ¿Que cosas hay en tu casa?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Era una casa con su huerta y su jardín.

En la casa vivían Clara y sus padres.

En la huerta de Clara, su papá cultivaba muchas
verduras. Gordas coles de hojas verdes, largas
zanahorias de color naranja, unos grandes tomates
que primero eran verdes y después se ponían
colorados, y en verano, unas grandes sandías que al
abrirlas parecían un tapiz rojo, lleno de pepitas negras.

En la granja de Clara había también un corral
hecho de madera, que su papá pintaba de blanco y
azul todos los años.

En el corral había una vaca de color caramelo
derretido que daba muy buena leche y que movía el
rabo.

¡Cuántas cosas había en la casa de Clara!

Third thing to fix to make your Russian better

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).
