¿Cómo podemos responder con preguntas?
Cuando queremos que la otra persona repita lo que acaba de decir, a menudo respondemos con una pregunta. Esto es algo que no solo hacen los estudiantes, sino también los hablantes nativos. Usan preguntas para asegurarse de que han escuchado correctamente la información y, si la encuentran sorprendente, también recurren a estas. I'm sorry? o Come again? son ejemplos de esto.
También podemos usar una sola palabra WH, elevando el tono al usarla. Por ejemplo, si alguien nos dice "Me rompí el brazo", podríamos responder con "¿How?" Además, existen frases completas con palabras WH, donde la entonación juega un papel fundamental. Ejemplos incluyen: Who said that?, How much? o You did what?.
Aquí hay una lista de algunas respuestas posibles:
- I'm sorry?
- What did you say?
- Excuse me?
- Say that again?
¿Cuándo usar la repetición de frases completas?
Podemos repetir toda la frase con diferentes entonaciones para confirmar o para buscar más información. Por ejemplo, si alguien dice que "Anne y David se están divorciando", podemos responder: "¿Ellos se están divorciando?" o “¿Anne y David se están divorciando?”. La entonación aquí le da el matiz que necesita nuestra respuesta.
Importancia de la entonación
La entonación es crucial. Un tono ascendente indica que estamos verificando la información, mientras que uno descendente sugiere curiosidad por saber más.
- Ascendente: How much? [Curiosidad]
- Descendente: They are getting a divorce? [Confirmación]
¿Cómo una mascota puede cambiar tu vida?
La creatividad está relacionada con las emociones positivas. Adoptar una mascota, como un perro, puede transformar significativamente tu vida. Jhon, al adoptar un Border Collie llamado Buddy, encontró un cambio positivo en su rutina diaria. El simple hecho de pasearlo tres veces al día le proporcionó un espacio para pensar creativamente y aumentar sus niveles de energía.
Beneficios de adoptar un perro
- Incremento de actividad física: Las caminatas regulares aumentan tus niveles de energía.
- Reducción de estrés: El cuidado de una mascota proporciona distracción y alegría.
- Mejora del estado mental: Al tomarte tiempo para ti mismo, ayudas a que tu mente y tu cuerpo se restablezcan.
Jhon descubrió que estas caminatas le ayudaron a alcanzar un estado mental más positivo, lo cual fue fundamental al momento de tomar decisiones laborales importantes.
El impacto de un trabajo que te motive
Cuando Jhon recibió una oferta laboral perfecta, estaba en una mejor disposición mental para aceptarla. Este estado positivo lograba que las decisiones fueran más claras y fáciles de tomar, como dejar una empresa que no le aportaba crecimiento.
¿Qué pasos debemos seguir para mejorar nuestra situación?
Es crucial concentrarse en cómo cambiar nuestra situación. Como bien mencionó Jhon, una conversación con un superior puede ser el primer paso. A continuación, explorar nuevas actividades, ya sea aprender un nuevo idioma o adoptar un nuevo pasatiempo, puede ser revitalizante.
Pasos a seguir:
- Conversar abiertamente: Comparte tus sentimientos con personas relevantes, como tu supervisor.
- Ejercer cambios personales: Incorporar nuevas actividades o experiencias en tu rutina.
- Establecer prioridades: Concentrarte en lo que realmente quieres lograr.
Te animamos a seguir aprendiendo y explorando. La motivación y el cambio positivo están en tus manos. La clave se encuentra en cómo decides encarar el cambio.

Jhon: Interestingly, there are multiple studies confirming that being creative can increase positive emotions, lessen depressive symptoms, reduce stress and decrease anxiety.
Mariana: Really?
Jhon: Yeah. And you know what really changed my life when I was in your position?
Mariana: What?(Rising)
Jhon: Adopting a dog!
Mariana: You adopted a dog?(rising)
Jhon: Yes! A Border Collie. I named him Buddy.
Mariana: Buddy? (rising) That’s the perfect name!
Jhon: Yeah, Buddy came into my life to make it better. We started going for 15 minute walks three times a day which eventually became 30 minute walks.
Mariana: That’s amazing, Jhon!
Jhon: Those walks gave me a space for creative thinking and that started elevating my energy levels. So… once I began taking those breaks, I gave my brain and body a chance to reset and restore.
Mariana: And how did that help you decide to leave your previous company? (fall)
Jhon: You see, when the perfect job offer came my way, I was already in another mental state. I was so happy with my life that resigning was easy. I left that company that wasn’t helping me grow and I found the appreciation and the community I needed here at Platzi.
Mariana: That’s the thing. I don’t want to leave Platzi. I’m just overwhelmed.
Jhon: How?(rising)
Mariana: Excuse me?(rise)
Jhon: You need to concentrate on the how. How are you going to change your situation? (fall)
Mariana: Well… first, I do have to have a conversation with my supervisor and share how I’m feeling. Then, I am going to make time to try out something new, something exciting… maybe learn another language or adopt a new pet!
Jhon: That’s what I’m talking about!
Mariana: Thank you so much for this conversation, Jhon. I really needed it.
Jhon: What are colleges for?(rise)
