The Fall

This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

After The Airport

Сегодня снова почитаем детскую литературу, а именно - рассказ Леонида Пантелеева “Испанские шапочки” про приключения двух маленьких сестёр, которых зовут Белочка и Тамарочка. Эту серию легко читать тем, кто учит русский язык, благодаря обилию диалогов и простых предложений. Кстати, слова здесь часто употребляются в уменьшительно-ласкательной форме: не платье, а платьице, не шкаф, а шкафчик. 

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: поза́втракать - есть завтрак - to have breakfast; полу́чше - чуть лучше - better, rather; посу́да - всё, что используем для еды: чашки, тарелки, кастрюли и т.д. - dishes, crockery, tableware; убира́ть - to clean up; мыть - очищать от грязи при помощи воды, воды с мылом - to wash, bathe; вытира́ть - убирать влагу - to wipe, mop; шкаф - cupboard; по́лка - shelf; ти́хо - без звука - quietly; блю́дце - маленькая тарелка под чашку или стакан - saucer; раско́кать - уронить и разбить - to unravel; ходи́ть на цы́почках - ходить на кончиках пальцев ног - walking on tiptoe; шёпот - тихая речь, когда говорят без участия голосовых связок - whisper; препира́ться - спорить по пустякам - to spar, altercate; неча́янно - случайно - accidentally, unintentionally; наступи́ть - придавить ногой - to step on, tread on; смо́рщиться - to wrinkle, wince, pucker; ве́жливый - соблюдает правила приличия, учтивый - polite, gentle; воспи́танный - умеет хорошо себя вести - civilized, well-mannered; гляде́ть - смотреть - to look, see; налюбова́ться - сильно любоваться (рассматривать с удовольствием) - to admire; сад - garden; сто́ить - нужно, следует - to be worth, deserve; ма́ло ли что - всё, что угодно - you never know what, anything; пла́тье - dress; споко́йнее - более спокойно - calmly, quietly, peacefully.

Отрывок из рассказа "Испанские шапочки" Л. Пантелеев

El cine ha multiplicado los estereotipos sobre tiburones (y sus parientes lejanos los megalodones). Aunque los ataques a humanos son inusuales, en la conciencia colectiva se les considera depredadores frecuentes. En cambio, lo que podría parecer una ocurrencia disparatada se ha convertido en una hipótesis trabajada por los científicos: es posible que haya tiburones cocainómanos en las aguas de Florida.
