HSK vocabulary

HSK1 “了” indicating a change 

Sam is a meteor from outer space. After leaving his homeland orbit, Sam was pulled towards the nearest large planet. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, he faced so much resistance. This created extremely high temperatures which burned away layers and layers of his body. As a result, Sam, who used to be giant when floating in space, became so little that he could fit in a fisherman’s hand.
 
The overwhelming amount of pain Sam suffered as a result of his entry caused him to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness. When Sam struck the Earth, he was fast asleep. 

Waking up and opening his eyes, Sam sees nothing but a vast cloudless blue sky. An enormous wave of peace and serenity washes over him. He is like a newborn baby experiencing the wonder and mystery of life for the first time. For a few moments, this serene blueness the only mental phenomenon swimming around his meteor consciousness. Seconds later, questions appear. 

Where am I? What happened? What comes next?

Due to his traumatic experience, Sam has lost all memory of his life before coming to Earth. He rolls over and looks down the beach. There are some large laughing figures running around, chasing a flying red disk. Further away there are two large ones holding long boards under their arms while walking into the water. Closer to Sam, there are several little figures picking up other rocks and showing each other. 

“Wow, look at that one!” says one of the little boys. “It looks like emerald. With a little bit of sapphire too!” 

I wish that those boys will pick me up and take me with them… I want to explore, to see precisely what life on Earth has to offer…

“Come quick!” yells one of the boys, eagerly running straight to Sam. “Look at this one! It’s so strange and ugly, but fascinating at the same time!” 

“Grab it, quick! Before mom sees!” 

A distant voice calls for the two children to return to the family car. “Boys, we’re going now. Hurry up.”

More than seven out of 10 Americans have been dishonest when trying to get a job, according to a new survey.

A company called ResumeTemplates asked 1,250 people in the US about how honest they are when looking for jobs, doing interviews or taking tests during the hiring process.

And 71% of US job seekers said they'd been dishonest.

One of the most common things to do was to give a false reference. Almost half of the participants said they'd done this.

Some said they didn't have a real reference to give, while others said their last boss didn't like them.

But people said they'd been dishonest all through the hiring process. More than one in five people said they'd lied on their resume.

Some companies give people tests during the hiring process — and 22% of people said they'd used Google, artificial intelligence software or the help of others to answer test questions.

So does being dishonest work?

The answer to that question might be "sometimes" — only around three out of 10 people said they had gotten caught.

Of course, that doesn't mean being dishonest is the right thing to do.

However, a 2023 survey by a company called Resume Builder found that it's not just people looking for jobs who lie.

In fact, the survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers found that almost 40% have lied to people in job interviews.

Tema: Revisar la historia es una forma excelente para poner en práctica el uso del PASADO.

Este año 2022 se cumplen 50 años de un invento que cambió la forma de escuchar música. Eso ocurrió en el año 1972. Poco después, en 1979, el mercado se llenó de algo llamado Walkman. 

Hoy en nuestro podcast vamos a recordar algunos de esos inventos en la historia de la música, y compartir algunos hechos sobre su origen. 

Espero que sea interesante para ti, porque para mi... lo fue.

¿Estamos bien comunicados o bien incomunicados? ¿No te pasa que todo y estando la persona no más lejos que la distancia que hay entre tu dedo y el icono del contacto, se te hace muy difícil presionar el cristal de tu teléfono?
