This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 

TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

My mom and I take a quiz about American dialects to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.

006 Exploring American Dialects (Part One)

En este podcast encontrarás algunos ejemplos de hermosas formaciones naturales que tiene el país y su importancia a nivel mundial.

PODCAST: ARGENTINA Y SUS MARAVILLAS NATURALES. 

Argentina se encuentra en el ranking mundial de países con más superficie, alcanzando el octavo puesto. Debido a su extensión alargada, el país cuenta con una gran diversidad climática e innumerables atractivos naturales, que van desde zonas tropicales hasta la fría Patagonia. 

Por mencionar algunos ejemplos, Argentina tiene una de las 7 maravillas naturales del mundo: Las Cataratas del Iguazú, en la provincia de Misiones al noreste del país. Sus cascadas alcanzan un ancho de 2.7km y una altura máxima de 82m. 

En la provincia de Mendoza se encuentra el Aconcagua, el cerro más alto del hemisferio occidental, que alcanza una altura de 6962m, y que atrae a miles de escaladores del mundo todos los años. 

Al norte, en la provincia de Jujuy, se ubica una maravillosa sierra llamada “Serranía del Hornocal”. Este grupo de montañas es una formación única, donde se puede encontrar un cerro de 14 colores, como el ocre, tonos rojizos, amarillos y blancos.  

Además, en la provincia de Jujuy se encuentran las Salinas Grandes, el cuarto salar más grande de Sudamérica.  

Otra atracción natural y de interés internacional es el Glaciar Perito Moreno, ubicado al sur del país, en el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. Este parque fue declarado Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad por la Unesco, y es muy visitado por turistas de todo el mundo. 

Argentina cuenta con innumerables atractivos naturales a lo largo de todo su territorio, y los mencionados en este podcast son sólo algunos ejemplos. 

Espero que te haya gustado esta información y te invito a descubrir más sobre este hermoso país en las próximas ocasiones.
