LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE LAS AVENTURAS DEL GORRIÓN.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Cual es tu estación climática favorita?

2. ¿Cual es tu estación climática no favorita?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Dime: ¿ Cuánto pesa un copo de nieve?

Dime cuánto pesa un copo de nieve, preguntó un gorrión a una paloma.
Nada de nada, le contestó.

Entonces debo contarte algo maravilloso, dijo el gorrión:

Estaba yo posado en la rama de un abeto, cerca de su tronco, cuando
empezó a nevar. No era una fuerte nevada ni una ventisca furibunda. Nada
de eso.

Nevaba como si fuera un sueño, sin nada de violencia. Y como yo no tenía
nada mejor que hacer, me puse a contar los copos de nieve que se iban
asentando sobre los tallitos de la rama en la que yo estaba. 

Los copos fueron exactamente 952. Al caer el siguiente copo de nieve sobre la rama que,
como tú dices, pesaba nada de nada, la rama se quebró.

Dicho esto, el gorrión se alejó volando.

Y la paloma, toda una autoridad en la materia desde la época de Noé, quedó
cavilando sobre lo que el gorrión le contara y al final se dijo:

Tal vez esté faltando la voz de una sola persona para que en este mundo
tenga lugar la paz.

Stories to Stimulate!

The landlady Part 4

In recent years, we have been encouraged to reduce the amount of meat we eat — for health reasons and to help protect the environment.

Red meat, in particular, has been shown to increase the risk of some health problems, while the farming of cows for food has a negative impact on the planet.

And these days, restaurants around the world that have traditionally focused on meat-based meals, including places like McDonald's and KFC, have begun to add more plant-based choices to their menus.

But the question some people are asking is: Can I eat less meat and still be healthy?

According to 2022 research, the answer could be "yes."

Researchers in Italy and Spain compared studies on the health benefits of animal proteins and plant-based or vegetable proteins.

We all need protein in our diets, wherever it comes from.

Plant-based or vegetable proteins include things like chickpeas, beans and nuts, as well as broccoli, kale and tofu.

And the study found that vegetable proteins can reduce the risk of things like heart disease and strokes, compared to animal proteins.

The researchers said that animal and vegetable proteins had similar effects on muscle and bone health.

However, they did find that vegetable or plant-based proteins might not give quite enough vitamin B12, although they were not able to explain why the two proteins have different effects on the body.

The researchers added that the lower environmental impact of plant-based proteins was too important to forget.

The health of the planet, they said, cannot be separated from the health of our bodies.

Study Shows Health Benefits of Plant-Based Proteins

En montagne
Deux petites tortues partent en montagne. Elles ont décidé d'escalader Le Mont Blanc. C'est une très haute montagne. Son sommet touche presque le ciel!
Comme il fait froid, elles ont des bonnets de laine et de grosses bottines à lacets. Les tortues marchent très lentement.
Des pierres roulent, une tortue glisse… Vite, son amie lui lance une corde, elle l'attrape avec son bec et se hisse jusqu'en haut! Il faut du courage, c'est dur d'arriver au sommet.
Enfin, le voilà! Le soleil brille sur la neige, l'air est froid et sec. Les tortues fatiguées se reposent et admirent le paysage avant de redescendre. Elles reviendront bientôt, c'est si beau!

나무 a tree
쓰러지다 (in this case) to fall over
