Staying Tolerant in Tough Times

Very few textbooks teach 'euphemisms', but they're an essential part of English life. An euphemism is a mild or indirect word / expression that takes the place of something that is considered too blunt when referring to something embarrassing. For example, the phrase 'a correctional facility' is an idiom that we use instead of the word 'prison'. Or we say that a person is 'big boned', instead of the word 'fat'. So the next time you hear somebody saying that they have to 'powder their nose', or you learn that someone has a 'negative cash flow', use this podcast to know exactly what they mean. 
* By the way, have you ever wondered where the expression 'a bucket list' comes from? Well it comes from the euphemism 'to kick the bucket', which means 'to die'. Your bucket list is the list of all the things you want to do before you 'kick the bucket'. On my bucket list is to learn how to play the guitar. What's on yours?

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: La Sombra de la Mansión.


La mansión al final de la calle era un enigma para los habitantes de Villacreces. Su pasado era oscuro y sus habitantes, extraños. Ana, una periodista intrépida, decidió investigar.

Acompañada de su amigo David, exploraron la mansión una noche oscura. El interior era lúgubre, con un silencio sepulcral interrumpido solo por el tic-tac de un reloj parado. Mientras avanzaban, sintieron una presencia invisible. Objetos se movían solos, las puertas se cerraban y un frío gélido los envolvía.

En el sótano, encontraron un diario con extraños símbolos y dibujos. Antes de poder descifrarlos, un ruido los sobresaltó. Una habitación repleta de espejos los esperaba al final del pasillo. Al entrar, el reloj comenzó a funcionar y las luces se apagaron.

A la mañana siguiente, la mansión estaba vacía. La grabadora de Ana solo captó unos segundos de silencio antes de cortarse. Los vecinos aseguraron haber escuchado gritos, pero nadie volvió a ver a Ana ni a David. La mansión quedó sumida en el misterio, una sombra oscura en la memoria del pueblo.
