FOOD

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UN PERRO QUE SE LLAMA CURRO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes mascotas en tu casa?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


A mi perro Curro le gusta pasear por el parque a primera hora de la mañana.

Me levanto a las seis de la mañana en los días laborables para acompañarle al parque antes de ir a trabajar. Siempre me espera sentado en la puerta de mi habitación con gran impaciencia, aguardando a que me levante.

Cuando llegamos al parque acostumbro a quitarle la correa para que pueda correr libremente, ya que a esas horas no hay nadie a quien pueda molestar. Él se pone muy contento y durante un rato se dedica a explorar el parque con gran curiosidad.

Transcurrido un cuarto de hora regresa al banco donde yo lo aguardo sentado y entonces jugamos un rato con la pelota, yo se la lanzo y él me la devuelve. Después regresamos a casa y yo marcho a trabajar y él se queda feliz tumbado en su colchón.

The dog called curro

U ovoj kratkoj epizodi izlažemo jednu dnevnu rutinu. Od ujutru, kada se probudimo, do uveče kada se pripremamo za spavanje!

MOJ DAN
Svaki dan se budim oko devet. Odmah raspremim svoj krevet i krenem u kupatilo da se sredim. U kupatilu se istuširam, obučem, operem zube i očešljam. Obično ne perem kosu ujutru jer uglavnom nemam dovoljno vremena. Skoro uvek perem kosu uveče ili kada se vratim sa fakulteta.
Posle toga, naparvim doručak, ali ne doručkujem često. Uglavnom jedem tek kasnije oko 12 ili 1. Doktor mi je rekao da to nije dobro, ali za mene nije dobro ni da jedem rano ujutru jer se ne osećam kako treba.
Nakon toga, idem na fakultet. Na fakultetu obično ostanem oko 3 ili 4 sata. Iako je to kratko vreme- skoro uvek sam jako umorna kada se vratim kući. 
Ja živim sa tri drugarice. Jana je najstarija i ona studira japanski. Marija studira medicinu. Ja mislim da je medicina baš teška, ali Marija to voli. Lana je mladja od svih nas i ona je brucoš na matematičkom fakultetu. To je još jedan predmet koji ja ne volim, i loša sam u matematici. 
Nas tri se lepo slažemo i volimo živeti zajedno. Upoznale smo se slučajno ali je meni jako drago što se to dogodilo.
Uveče kada krenem na spavanje, volim da razgovaram sa nekim na telefon. Na primer sa dečkom, sa svojom porodicom, ili sa nekim drugaricama. Obožavam da gledam filmove i serije. Takodje, volim da jedem nešto slatko i pijem kafu dok gledam svoju omiljenu dramu. 


Slušaj me!

Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking: Why Planning Isn’t Always the Right Thing to Do

You’re overseeing a project and have all the pieces in place.

Your detailed timeline is mapped out. You’ve set expectations with leaders and team members. You’re prepared to keep all the deliverables organized.

Halfway through the project, a team comes to you with a suggestion—they think they’ve found a better way to handle a piece of the process.

Your stomach drops into your shoes. You’re the taskmaster. The organizer. The keeper of the schedule. This change in direction will only throw a wrench into the flawless plan you spent hours agonizing over. Even if it is a better way to go, you’re cringing at the idea of straying from your beloved system.

Sound familiar? It’s a common scenario for project managers. When you’re the one who’s solely responsible for keeping everything on track, it’s understandable that you’ll white-knuckle your tried and true processes.

But, think about this: You may be limiting the wiggle room team members need to take that project to the next level. By planning away every last inch of flexibility, you’re making it that much tougher to adapt to new information and evolving demands.

So, what do you do? It’s time for project management professionals to not only think of themselves as the keepers of plans, but also the ones responsible for pulling the very best out of teams.

To do so, they need to encourage and enable both pieces of the creative problem-solving process: divergent thinking and convergent thinking.
