Dying for Fashion

1.新产品出问题了，你和经理尽快商量一下怎么办。
”尽快“的意思是”赶快“，相当于英语as soon as possible.
2.趁今天天气好，你尽快把脏衣服洗一下。

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Bosque de las Palabras Perdidas.


En un reino muy lejano, existía un bosque mágico donde crecían árboles de palabras. En cada hoja, había una palabra única y preciosa. Los habitantes del reino adoraban este bosque, ya que las palabras les servían para crear poemas, canciones y cuentos maravillosos.

Pero un día, un viento muy fuerte sopló y llevó muchas hojas con palabras a un lugar desconocido. El bosque quedó triste y silencioso. Los habitantes del reino estaban preocupados, ya que sin palabras, no podían expresar sus sentimientos ni contar historias.

Una niña llamada Ania decidió ayudar al bosque. Con su libro de cuentos favorito y una canasta llena de esperanza, se adentró en el bosque. Caminó durante horas hasta que encontró un claro donde se amontonaban miles de hojas con palabras.

Ania comenzó a recoger las hojas y a leerlas en voz alta. Con cada palabra que pronunciaba, un rayo de luz iluminaba el bosque y las hojas volvían a sus árboles. Los pájaros comenzaron a cantar, las flores a florecer y el bosque recuperó su alegría.

Cuando Ania terminó de recoger todas las hojas, el rey del reino la recibió con los brazos abiertos. Gracias a ella, el bosque de las palabras había vuelto a la vida. Anya se convirtió en la guardiana del bosque y prometió cuidar de las palabras para siempre.

The Forest of Lost Words

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.
