Si hay algo que ha maravillado a locales y viajeros, es el Centro Histórico de Ciudad de México donde se encuentra, por un lado, el Palacio Nacional, la Catedral Metropolitana al frente y al fondo, los vestigios del Imperio Azteca. Llegar a cada uno de ellos es algo muy sencillo, ya que tan sólo los separan unos cuantos metros, por lo que solo necesitarás de tiempo y ganas para conocer su historia.
 
Antes del whatsapp, el correo electrónico, el fax o el telegrama, el servicio postal era la principal vía de comunicación. Muchas personas se mantuvieron en contacto y esperanzadas de recibir noticias desde prácticamente cualquier parte del mundo, gracias a este sistema. México, “Ciudad de los Grandes Palacios” y su auge porfirista de principios del Siglo XX, no podían quedarse atrás. Así fue como se mandó construir un Palacio Postal en el número 1 de la calle de Tacuba.
 
Si conoces la capital mexicana, recordarás de inmediato el edificio, pero si es tu primera vez por el rumbo, estamos seguros de que lo has visto antes. Su fachada de Cantera de Chiluca es inconfundible y elegante. Pero, la opulencia no termina ahí, continúa al interior, donde su mármol italiano y revestimientos en bronce te invitarán a mandar una carta como a la vieja usanza, porque efectivamente sus servicios continúan en operación.
 
Continuando por la zona, pero cruzando el Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas, se localiza el Palacio de Bellas Artes, un recinto cultural que alberga exposiciones temporales y permanentes de pintura y escultura. Su teatro es tan versátil que ha sido escenario de conciertos de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, Ópera y danza clásica, así como de presentaciones de cantantes como Juan Gabriel, quien supo ganarse un lugar en el preciado sitio.
 
Si avanzas por dentro de la Alameda Central te encontrarás con el Hemiciclo a Juárez, con su deslumbrante color blanco, cortesía del mármol de Carrara con el que fue hecho. Puedes mirarlo de cerca para observar cada uno...

شازده کوچولو، فصل چهارم

La volpe e l’uva è una favola famosissima, che può dare un insegnamento molto importante: non bisogna disprezzare qualcosa solo perché non lo si può ottenere, come fanno le persone che non ammettono di non riuscire a fare qualcosa.

Questa favola breve scritta in origine da Esopo è arrivata a noi grazie anche a Fedro e a mille versioni successive, questa è la mia versione.

A2-B1 La volpe e l'uva, una fiaba di Esopo. 


The number of tigers in India more than doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to a new study.

In 2010, there were around 1,700 tigers in the country — but there were almost 3,700 by 2022, the study said.

The study also said that tiger numbers had increased because the animals were better protected from poachers and because their habitats were better protected too.

The researchers added that the amount of contact between humans and animals has been reduced, and the country has made sure that the tigers have enough prey.

The researchers said the results show that, with the right attitude, people can make a difference.

Some people now want the country to spend more time and money on protecting other animals too.

Of all the tigers in the world, 75% are now in India, in an area of about 138,000 square kilometers.

But many of these animals live close to large numbers of people.

The researchers said some communities have benefited from the increased tiger population because it has meant tourists have visited the area to see the animals.

However, tiger attacks on humans do happen, and with India's human population growing, this problem won't go away.

But the researchers said the number of tiger attacks per year is quite small, and many more people are killed by leopards, wild pigs and snakes, and in car accidents.

However, while many have said that the increase in tigers is good news, others are not sure about the accuracy of the data, which was collected by government-supported agencies.
