comprensión oral, y ya sabes que es IMPRESCINDIBLE que la visites para
adquirir el ritmo y la entonación debidos. Ahora dispones de TRES
niveles de dificultad como nos pediste; por lo tanto no hay excusas ;-)

de la "Historia del Fin de Semana" (ideal para niveles

Look
at this headline, Soo Mi.
Wow !! So many people in the United States get divorced !!
Is it the same in Korea?
I don't think so. In Korea some marriages break up, but most couples
stay together.
Do people get married young?
Not really. Very few people get married before the age of 20.
Hmm. Do women usually work after they get married?
No, a lot of women stay home and take care of their families. But some
work. |

Good heavens!! It's a most peculiar place!!
Look at that carving over the fireplace.
Looks Chinese.
Weird!! There's a mixture of everything.
And how could anyone live in a house like this!!
I've never seen anything like it.
Good afternoon!!
Oh ... hello!!
Who are you? I'm the caretaker.
I ... I think we've come to the wrong house. |
