HSK2--materials and exercises for listenning, reading and speaking

JANE: Hi, Helen! How’s it going?
HELEN: Fine, thanks — and you?
JANE: Just fine. Where are you off to?
HELEN: To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week 
and need to start studying. Ugh.
JANE: Oh, no. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck! 
HELEN: Thanks. See you later.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Hi” is an informal way of saying “hello.” Notice that the “i” sound in “hi” is extended, to 
show that Jane is very pleased to see Helen.
• “How’s it going?” is an informal way of saying “How are you?”
• “Fine, thanks—and you?” Notice the rising intonation on “and you?” This shows that 
Helen is interested in what Jane has to say.
• “Where are you off to?” is an informal way of saying “Where are you going?” Notice the 
falling intonation since this is an information question, not a “yes/no” question.
• “To the library.” Notice that Helen does not say “I’m going” here because that 
information was already established in the question “Where are you off to?”
• “Oh, no” is a way of saying “I sympathize with you” or “I understand you are not happy.”
• “See you later” is an informal way of saying “goodbye.”

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

Lifestyle creep, also called "lifestyle inflation," is when you find yourself with some more money — for example, after getting a new job or paying off a mortgage — but then spend more as a result.

Spend and Save: How to Beat 'Lifestyle Creep'

☕ Diálogo: El Café Colombiano es el Mejor

Carlos: Sofía, dime la verdad… ¿crees que hay un café mejor que el colombiano?

Sofía: ¡Ni pensarlo! El café colombiano es el mejor del mundo.

Carlos: Exactamente. Su aroma, su sabor, su calidad… nada lo supera.

Sofía: Y no es solo porque seamos de Colombia, ¡es porque es un hecho!

Carlos: Jajaja, sí. Pero en serio, ¿sabes qué lo hace tan especial?

Sofía: Creo que es por la altitud y el clima de las montañas donde se cultiva.

Carlos: ¡Exacto! La combinación del suelo volcánico y el clima perfecto le da ese sabor único.

Sofía: Además, aquí todo es cosechado a mano. No como en otros países donde usan máquinas.

Carlos: Eso hace una gran diferencia. La selección es mucho más cuidadosa.

Sofía: ¿Y qué me dices del proceso de secado? Es completamente natural.

Carlos: ¡Sí! El sol hace su magia y eso mejora el aroma y el sabor del grano.

Sofía: En cambio, hay cafés de otros países que tienen un sabor más amargo.

Carlos: Claro, porque a veces los tuestan demasiado o no seleccionan bien los granos.

Sofía: Y aquí tenemos tantas variedades… como el café suave de Nariño o el más intenso de Huila.

Carlos: Cada región tiene su toque especial, por eso es tan famoso en todo el mundo.

Sofía: De hecho, el café colombiano es el favorito en Europa y Asia.

Carlos: ¡Por supuesto! Hasta los baristas internacionales lo prefieren.

Sofía: ¿Sabes qué? Ahora me dieron ganas de un buen tinto.

Carlos: ¡Jajaja! Vamos por uno… pero que sea 100% colombiano, nada de café instantáneo.

Sofía: ¡Obvio! Solo lo mejor.
