Celestún, Yucatán. Practica el subjuntivo

¡ Al fin en el hotel ! Ayer por la noche he llegado a la ciudad de Guayaquil de Ecuador. El hotel está a pocos minutos del Malecón 2000 . Hace dos meses que he hecho la reserva. ¡Y estoy encantada! Mi habitación es de tamaño grande. Tiene mucha luz y unos grandes ventanales. Tengo un baño muy lindo  y una gran caja fuerte. Lamentablemente la cama no es muy cómoda , pero el televisor me fascina . Los empleados del hotel son muy simpáticos y amables . Me ha atendido una recepcionista que sabía hablar muy bien Inglés. ¡Qué suerte tengo ! 
Me gusta mucho la ciudad. El centro de Guayaquil es realmente bonito y aquí la gente es muy agradable. Hay un restaurante de comida típica muy rico y barato  cerca de mi hotel. 
 El hotel es un poco  antiguo, pero está muy bien conservado. Sin embargo, hay mucho ruido por las noches . Continuamente escucho música y las bocinas  de los autos . Esta primera noche no he podido dormir muy bien, pero la  recepcionista del hotel me ha dicho que mañana me cambiará de habitación para que no me moleste el ruido . Ha sido muy atenta.

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

Understanding Concessive Clauses in Spanish and English

In Spanish, the mood (indicative or subjunctive) in concessive clauses depends on whether the action is factual, non-factual, or counterfactual. For example, the conjunction "aunque" (although) can be used with both indicative and subjunctive moods depending on the context.
Example in Spanish:
Indicative: "Vendré aunque no tengo ganas." (I will come even though I don't feel like it.)
Subjunctive: "Vendré aunque no tenga ganas." (I will come even if I don't feel like it.)
In English, concessive clauses typically use the indicative mood. The conjunctions "although," "even though," and "though" are commonly used, and they don't change the mood of the verb.
Example in English:
"Although he doesn't want to, he will come."
"Even though she is tired, she will finish the work."
So, while Spanish requires a choice between indicative and subjunctive based on the nature of the action, English consistently uses the indicative mood in concessive clauses.
