LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL SOL Y EL VIENTO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Prefieres los días calurosos o los días fríos?

2. ¿Que cosas puedes hacer en un clima caluroso?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


El sol y el viento discutían para ver quién era el más fuerte.
El viento decía: ¿Ves aquel anciano envuelto en una capa?
Te apuesto a que le haré quitar la capa más rápido que tú.

Se ocultó el sol tras una nube y comenzó a soplar el viento,
cada vez con más fuerza, hasta ser casi un ciclón,
pero cuanto más soplaba tanto más se envolvía el hombre en la capa.
Por fin el viento se calmó y se declaró vencido.

Y entonces salió el sol y sonrió dulcemente al anciano.
No pasó mucho tiempo hasta que el anciano,
acalorado, se quitó la capa.

El sol demostró entonces al viento que la suavidad
y el amor de los abrazos son más poderosos
que la furia y la fuerza.

Temporada 1 Episodio 21 Futuro en Acción: Expresa tus Planes y Sueños - Vocabulario y Frases en Futuro

JOYCE: Should we take a taxi or a bus to the mall?
BILL: Let’s take a bus. It’s impossible to get a taxi during 
rush hour.
JOYCE: Isn’t that a bus stop over there?
BILL: Yes ... Oh! There’s a bus now. We’ll have to run to 
catch it.
JOYCE: Oh, no! We just missed it.
BILL: No problem. There’ll be another one in 10 minutes.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Should we … or …? Is a way of asking “Which is better?” “Should” is used to ask 
for an opinion. Note that we do not say “Will” here.
• Take a taxi or a bus? The word “or” signals a choice here. Notice the rising 
intonation on taxi (the first choice) and falling intonation on bus (the second choice).
• Let’s (Let us) means “I think we should do this.”
• Rush hour is the time of day when most people are going to or from work. In most 
American cities, rush hour is from about 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. and from about 4:30 to 
6:30 p.m. Notice that “rush hour” is a compound noun, with the main stress on the 
first word.
• Isn’t that This is a negative question. The speaker expects an affirmative answer. It 
is used to check information.
• Bus stop is a compound noun, with the main stress on the first word.
• Oh! is an exclamation used to express alarm or surprise.
• Oh, no! is an expression used to express disappointment.
• We just missed it here means “We arrived a moment too late to get the bus.” 
Notice the emphasis on “just” to show the very recent past.
• No problem here means “It doesn’t matter.

English Conversation practice (30-day challenge)

Day 19: Transportation 

In this podcast I go deeper into the psychology of asking questions and how it will position you in front of your boss.

Simple questions such as:

1. Can you explain some of the day-to-day responsibilities this job entails?
2. How would you describe the characteristics of someone who would succeed in this role?
3. If I were in this position, how would my performance be measured? How often?

Jump into and learn whats not obvious and hardly seen by people.
