🌑 La Casa del Número 47 🏚️

Clara pasó frente a la casa del número 47 todos los días camino al trabajo. Era una construcción antigua, con ventanas polvorientas y una puerta de madera que parecía susurrar con el viento. Siempre sintió una extraña incomodidad al pasar por ahí, pero nunca le dio demasiada importancia… hasta que, una mañana, vio algo inquietante: una figura en la ventana del segundo piso que la observaba fijamente. Al día siguiente, la figura volvió a aparecer, pero esta vez levantó una mano y le hizo una señal para que se acercara.

Esa noche, Clara no pudo dormir. La imagen de aquella silueta seguía en su mente. Decidió volver a la casa y, sin saber por qué, empujó la puerta, que se abrió con un crujido. El interior estaba oscuro y frío. En el suelo había un viejo reloj que marcaba las 3:47 y una foto en blanco y negro de una mujer que se parecía sorprendentemente a ella. De repente, la puerta se cerró de golpe y una voz susurró: "Llevabas mucho tiempo ignorándome, Clara".

El pánico la invadió. Corrió hacia la puerta, pero no pudo abrirla. La figura apareció en el espejo del pasillo: era ella misma, pero con una expresión vacía. "Este es tu hogar ahora", dijo su reflejo mientras extendía la mano. Clara gritó, pero su voz se desvaneció. A la mañana siguiente, la casa del número 47 seguía allí, intacta. Pero ahora, en la ventana del segundo piso, se veía una mujer que observaba a los transeúntes… esperando a la siguiente persona curiosa.

Guide to the TOEFL - Reading

In order to achieve a band score 7 in IELTS it’s important to practice using idioms. Idioms are of high importance if you want to get a band score 7 in IELTS. In fact, it’s very rare for any student to score above a band score 6 in IELTS without using idioms. If it does happen, it only happens once in a blue moon. And since the IELTS exam is so important, it’s a good idea to invest in some private one to one lessons with an IELTS teacher, like me. Lessons don’t cost an arm and a leg and they might help you to achieve the band score you need. Be sure to spend your time and your finances wisely. Invest in yourself and your future. Life is short, and there’s a lot to do. So stop thinking about it, bite the bullet, and take action. Book your private lesson now.

Hi guys, long time no speak. I've been so busy lately but I came back for another podcast.
I finished reading the book of Robert Greene, "The 48 Laws of Power." It is such an interesting book and I would like to share the three laws that I liked the most in this book.
Law number one: 'Never outshine the master."
