¿Cómo mejorar tus habilidades auditivas y de lectura en inglés?
La adquisición de un nuevo idioma es un viaje enriquecedor, lleno de desafíos y logros. Encontrar métodos efectivos para consolidar tus habilidades puede marcar la diferencia en tu experiencia de aprendizaje. En esta sección, exploraremos una técnica innovadora que combina la lectura y la escucha para perfeccionar tus habilidades en inglés.
Combinar actividades de lectura y escucha ofrece una notable oportunidad para mejorar tanto la comprensión auditiva como la capacidad de lectura. Te propongo una actividad interactiva y desafiante que consiste en escuchar y leer una historia cuidadosamente creada para integrar todo el conocimiento adquirido en un curso. Esta metodología permite aplicar vocabulario, gramática y estructuras lingüísticas en un contexto narrativo, reforzando así lo aprendido de manera eficaz.
¿En qué consiste la historia?
Es importante visualizar este ejercicio como más que una simple historia. Vemos aquí un valioso recurso de estudio, especialmente diseñado para consolidar tus habilidades lingüísticas en inglés. La trama sigue a un hombre llamado Billy, acostumbrado a la vida solitaria en las montañas, conviviendo tanto con amigos del reino animal como con antagonistas naturales. A través de la historia, se presenta una ventana hacia el uso práctico del idioma, cubriendo:
- Vocabulario: Palabras y frases del curso se muestran en situaciones reales.
- Gramática: Se destacan las estructuras gramaticales aplicadas en diversos contextos.
- Interacción narrativa: El texto te sumerge en una narrativa que deja entrever relaciones interpersonales y ambientales.
¿Cómo maximizar el aprendizaje con esta actividad?
Aprovechar al máximo este ejercicio requiere un enfoque estratégico. Aquí tienes algunos consejos para potenciar tu experiencia de aprendizaje:
-
Toma notas: Mientras escuchas y lees, identifica palabras clave, estructuras gramaticales y expresiones idiomáticas que hemos cubierto. Esto te ayudará a visualizar su uso práctico.
-
Participa activamente: Comprométete con la historia comentando tus observaciones. Pregúntate sobre las decisiones narrativas, las motivaciones de Billy y cómo se relaciona con el entorno que lo rodea.
-
Repite y reflexiona: No te limites a una sola lectura o escucha. Revisa la historia en más de una ocasión para reforzar el conocimiento y aclarar cualquier duda que pudiera surgir en la primera lectura.
¿Cuál es el valor del feedback?
Después de sumergirte en la historia, la interacción continua es clave para profundizar tu comprensión y mejorar tus habilidades. Deja tus comentarios y observaciones sobre la trama y comparte tus pensamientos sobre los elementos lingüísticos que has identificado. Tal reflexión no solo refuerza tu aprendizaje, sino que también puede inspirar a otros a seguir este enfoque.
Este ejercicio no solo pondrá a prueba tus capacidades actuales, sino que también te proporcionará una experiencia enriquecedora y motivadora que abre infinitas posibilidades de crecimiento. ¡Invita a aquellos alrededor de ti a unirse en este desafío y disfruta del proceso de aprendizaje conjunto!

Woww great story!! you're very talented on imagination! congratulations!
There once was a man who lived in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, his name was Billy, he was used to living alone, although he enjoyed spending time in the forest, surrounded by all the creatures you can ever imagine. Like his father, Billy was a lumberjack who had always lived in the mountains, his best friends were coyotes, his enemies were mosquitos and the only thing that worried him, was waking up and missing the sunrise. But everything changed one day
not works the subtitles
It was great to hear this story, thank you Platzi for such amazing teacher
thank you so much!!!!

STORY OF BILLY!
Kind of creepy, though! <https://voca.ro/19ov0GD0FpWa>
Story of Billy - the Lumberjack
My audio (favorite part):
https://voca.ro/19cj5WYrYvxv
Audiostory:
Like his father, Billy was a lumberjack who had always lived in the
mountains.
Billy was staring at the sky when all of a sudden, a strange silhouette approached him…
I’ve been waiting for years to meet you, Billy. I have always wanted to talk to you but I was waiting for the right moment…
I’ve been to so many places, Billy, but I never encountered what I was looking for… you.
Since the moment you were born you were meant to do great things. I’ve been watching you for decades and I recently realized I shouldn’t wait any longer.
Everything you understand and misunderstand… Everything you have…
It’s because of me.
He was still speechless and breathless and he could barely move.
Why do you want to know who I am if you already know it? You can’t just
ask and answer what is obvious.
As the silhouette vanished, Billy started to realize he was not dreaming.
What are you looking for?
to see if he was lucky or unlucky enough to meet that strange “silhouette” again.
…and pants were tighter than usual…
Like any other day,
His ax looked smaller than usual and he seemed to be taller than he
was before.
…immediately. He hit the second tree and the same happened. Billy was also stronger, so he wondered…
…here wasn’t a day in which you starved, there wasn’t a day in which you were unsafe
…Eventually you will find an inheritor, just like I found you.
Silhouette = silueta
forest = bosque
polish = pulir,perfeccionar
starved = famelico,hambriento

I need to improve my reading, i read very slow
Good lecture
- Was used to. It’s a past course structure that we’ve learned.
- Like his father. The use of it here means the way in similar position.
- Was waking up to late. The use of the verb in its geround form.
- I’ve been waiting. It’s a present perfect continuous form and it means something have been happening in the past and also in present have importance.
- The other one. It’s something we learned in a past course as well. It means the other option.
- what i was looking for. In spansih we could translate it like; For what i was looking for, but here, In English, we must do a small change to get a better composition.
- Recently. The chat said: I recently realized. It’s something that had momment in a recent past.
- Do and Undo. It’s a preffix added to say that something have not been did.
- What are you looking for. As we see, the preposition goes at the end.
one with answers and the other one without.
