LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Enigmático Mensaje parte 2.


Elena y Martín, cada vez más intrigados por el enigmático mensaje y los extraños sucesos que ocurrían en el pueblo, decidieron profundizar en la leyenda del tesoro escondido. Visitaron a la anciana más longeva del pueblo, Doña Carmen, quien, con una voz temblorosa pero llena de sabiduría, les relató una versión más detallada de la leyenda.

Según Doña Carmen, el tesoro no era solo oro y joyas, sino un objeto de gran poder que había sido ocultado en las profundidades del mar para proteger a la humanidad de fuerzas oscuras. Aquellos que intentaran apoderarse del tesoro se verían afectados por una maldición.

Armados con esta nueva información, Elena y Martín se adentraron en los archivos municipales en busca de mapas antiguos y documentos que pudieran llevarlos hasta el tesoro. Descubrieron un mapa náutico, amarillento por el paso del tiempo, con una X marcada en un punto específico del océano.

Convencidos de que habían encontrado la clave, alquilaron una pequeña embarcación y se dirigieron hacia el lugar indicado en el mapa. Sin embargo, al llegar al punto marcado, no encontraron nada más que agua. Desanimados, pero no dispuestos a rendirse, decidieron sumergirse con equipos de buceo para explorar el fondo marino.

The Enigmatic Message part 2

Are you ready to get that idiom monkey off your back and learn 7 more idiomatic expressions to help you improve your IELTS band score?

The idioms in this podcast are quite useful. They should add another string to your bow. In our IELTS speaking exam we should also learn how to paraphrase. Learning how to paraphrase adds a really important string to your bow, as well. In order to gain a band score 6, it’s important to attempt to paraphrase as well as use connectives. Using connectives, like therefore, however, and to be honest, can add another string to your bow.

When we know how to use idioms, we can improve our IELTS band score, because it’s important to use some less common idiomatic vocabulary in your IELTS exam. Idioms are very common and used in everyday daily life. As a rule of thumb, they help the examiner to know if you have spent time studying common idiomatic phrases.

So, keep your chin up. And keep studying. Because idioms are easy to learn. You just have to take the time to learn them, and practice using them. Don’t let learning idioms worry you, because they really are fun. They won’t get you into hot water. Learning idioms cannot get you into trouble. On the contrary, they will show the IELTS examiner that you are dilligent, studious, and hard working. Nobody’s going to hit the roof just because you’ve learned a few idioms. Of course not! No one is going to be angry with you for studying idioms! They are a vital part of your English language skills. Native English speakers use idioms day in, day out.

Don’t forget to take the quiz and learn the meanings of the idioms in this podcast. 

And don’t forget to book a lesson with me, so I can help you get the IELTS band score you need. And if you dont know many idioms, dont you think it’s time to get that monkey off your back?

7 Idioms

『オルゴールワールド』　にしのあきひろ著

どれ、奇跡の話をしようじゃないか。

カンパネラ爺がこしらえているラッパはな、えれぇ昔に工場の屋根をつきぬけて、
いまじゃ空中帝国から空にむかってビヨーンと とびだしとるが、それでもまだまだ完成しとらんのだと。
カンパネラ爺は、そのラッパのさきっちょで、もう５０年も工具をふりまわしとる。
そげな場所で足をすべらせたら、５０００メートル下の『森』へとまっさかさま。ひとたまりもない。
ところがどっこい、まわりの心配なんのその、きょうもラッパの大工事。
どんな言葉をかけようと、カンパネラ爺の返事はいつも決まって こうじゃった。
「ちょっくら奇跡に用がある」

Shall we talk about a MIRACLE?

Old Man Campanella is building a bugle. A long long time ago, it pierced right through the roof of
his factory, and now it stretches out far from the EMPIRE IN THE SKY, poking up way into the air.
Even so, it's still a long way from completion.
Old Man Campanella has been wielding his tools on the tip of his bugle for 50 years now.
If he was to slip, he would fall into the FOREST 5000 meters below and land smack on his head.
He wouldn't stand a chance. But, no matter how much people worry about him, he's at it again today, building away on his bugle.
And, no matter who says what, Old Man Campanella always gives the same response.
''There's a miracle waiting for me''
