Hoje o clima está bom!
O céu está azul e o sol brilha forte.
Está calor, mas também tem uma brisa suave que deixa o dia agradável.
Não há nuvens no céu.
À noite, a temperatura pode ficar um pouco mais fresca, mas ainda está agradável.
Não chove hoje.
Vamos aproveitar o dia bonito!

Viktor: Morning!
Sam: Hi, how are you?
Viktor: Great, thanks. Hey, did you set up the camera trap yesterday?
Sam: Yes, I did! Mom helped me put it up on the wall above the back door and we pointed it down and towards the grassy bit of garden. Did you?
Viktor: Totally. But something went wrong after I tied it to a tree in the park. Look, I’ve got some amazing video here. Let me forward it a bit … there – look.
Sam: Oh yeah, what is it? Can you zoom in? It’s very small.
Viktor: Can you see it now?
Sam: Ah, it’s a fox. I love the way it’s moving – like something between walking and running. What’s it got in its mouth?
Viktor: I think it’s a rabbit. The fox must be coming back from hunting.
Sam: That’s amazing. Anyway, what went wrong?
Viktor: Watch...
Sam: Woah! Did the camera just fall out of the tree?
Viktor: Yes! It was a windy night, wasn’t it? I must have tied it too loosely.
Sam: Ha-ha, well, you got some great stuff before the camera fell. It didn’t get damaged, did it?
Viktor: No, it didn’t. It’s okay. Did you get anything?
Sam: Yes, actually. We watched it over breakfast. I don’t have it here – I’ll send it to you later, but there were at least a couple of animals in the garden.
Viktor: What did you see?
Sam: Some kind of … well, I think it was a mouse, but it was quite big. My sister thinks it was a rat. Mum didn’t look too happy about that! She told me to get rid of it – whatever it was!
Viktor: Aw, rats are okay. It probably just lives in the garden – and they have to live somewhere.
Sam: I agree – as long as it stays outside and doesn’t come in the house.
Viktor: Anything else?
Sam: Oh, yes – I’m really thrilled about this one – we’re absolutely sure that we saw a hedgehog walking across from the neighbor’s garden to our back fence and then under it to the park behind.
Viktor: Oh, I love hedgehogs!
Sam: Yes, me, too!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL ABUELO TOMAS.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes una familia grande o pequeña?

2. ¿Que tipo de actividades haces con tu familia?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Mi abuelo Tomás tiene ochenta años y vive con nosotros. Tiene buena salud, aunque a veces dice que le duele una pierna, pero camina ágilmente cuando le llaman sus amigos para jugar a las cartas después de comer.

Todos los domingos me lleva a ver el futbol y después me compra un helado.

En vacaciones siempre viene con nosotros y le gusta mucho ir a la playa. A veces discute con mi padre cuando quiere ir a la montaña. Al final siempre se sale con la suya y mi padre acaba cediendo. Para compensarle siempre nos invita el primer día de vacaciones a un buen restaurante.

Quiero mucho a mi abuelo.

Grandpa Thomas

“It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone's throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.




I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.




I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight. 




It was obvious that so many ignorant visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.




I was so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on some public social media groups, and try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people's ignorance, as well as making my blood boil, that nobody seemed to care.
