EL VERBO TENER, LOS NÚMEROS Y LA DESCRIPCIÓN FÍSICA en español

Similar a las historias de otras mujeres legendarias en latinoamérica, como La llorona o La sayona, “La patasola” es el alma en pena de una mujer que perdió a sus hijos por conflictos amorosos. Se conoce como “la patasola” porque anda con un sólo pie. Su cabello es largo y enmarañado, y tiene ojos y boca grandes.

Cuentan que era una mujer que estaba casada con un campesino con quien tenía tres hijos. Un día, a la vuelta del trabajo, el campesino encuentra a la mujer en casa con su patrón, y en un arrebato de furia cortó la cabeza de este último con un machete. La mujer intentó escapar, pero el campesino logró cortarle una de las piernas. Como consecuencia de esta herida la mujer murió pronto. El campesino prendió fuego a la casa y se llevó a sus hijos muy lejos. Desde entonces, el alma en pena de la patasola regresa a buscarlos.

De acuerdo con la región específica donde se cuenta, la patasola aparece con enormes colmillos, por lo que puede tratarse de una especie de vampiro que, más allá de haber sido una mujer despechada, es un ser que protege la naturaleza.

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”
