Episode 1: The controversy of linguistic relativity

나 팔다리 피부가 너무 건조해.
我手臂和腿部的皮肤太干燥了。 

너 피부가 이렇게 좋은데 건조해졌다니?
你的皮肤这么好, 怎么说干燥呢? 

요즘 바빠서 샤워 후에 바디로션을 잘 안 발랐더니 피부가 건조해졌어.
最近因为太忙, 洗完澡后没抹身体乳, 所以皮肤变干燥了。

그랬구나. 샤워 후에는 바디로션을 바로 발라야 피부 보호층이 생겨. 
原来是这样啊。洗完澡一定要马上抹身体乳, 皮肤才会有保护层。

팔뚝 手臂
건조하다 干燥
바르다  抹
바디로션 身体乳

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Enigmático Mensaje parte 2.


Elena y Martín, cada vez más intrigados por el enigmático mensaje y los extraños sucesos que ocurrían en el pueblo, decidieron profundizar en la leyenda del tesoro escondido. Visitaron a la anciana más longeva del pueblo, Doña Carmen, quien, con una voz temblorosa pero llena de sabiduría, les relató una versión más detallada de la leyenda.

Según Doña Carmen, el tesoro no era solo oro y joyas, sino un objeto de gran poder que había sido ocultado en las profundidades del mar para proteger a la humanidad de fuerzas oscuras. Aquellos que intentaran apoderarse del tesoro se verían afectados por una maldición.

Armados con esta nueva información, Elena y Martín se adentraron en los archivos municipales en busca de mapas antiguos y documentos que pudieran llevarlos hasta el tesoro. Descubrieron un mapa náutico, amarillento por el paso del tiempo, con una X marcada en un punto específico del océano.

Convencidos de que habían encontrado la clave, alquilaron una pequeña embarcación y se dirigieron hacia el lugar indicado en el mapa. Sin embargo, al llegar al punto marcado, no encontraron nada más que agua. Desanimados, pero no dispuestos a rendirse, decidieron sumergirse con equipos de buceo para explorar el fondo marino.

The Enigmatic Message part 2

On the Italian island of Budelli, visitors like to look at a place called Spiaggia Rosa, a beautiful beach where the sand is pink.

But those visitors can only look — they can't touch the sand.

That's because the authorities want to preserve the beach. In the past, people have been seen taking the sand home with them.

Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished, as a Brazilian influencer has found out.

The travel influencer, who has more than 35,000 Instagram followers, took videos of herself walking on the beach and posted them online.

Italian websites said the woman had taken a boat to the beach so she could walk on the sand.

Tourists can visit the island and walk on a path behind the beach, but no one has been allowed on the sand or in the water around it since the 1990s.

Italians weren't happy when the influencer's videos were seen online.

While she had already left the island, the authorities were able to find her in Dubai, where she lives, and they fined her almost $2,000.

About $300 of the fine was for walking on the beach, and the rest was for using a boat that wasn't allowed to travel to the island.

Authorities say there are signs telling people they cannot enter the area.

No one lives on the island, which is just north of the large island of Sardinia.

However, a man whose boat broke down nearby lived on the island for more than 30 years until he was told to leave in 2021.
