Consejos para mejorar habilidades de lectura en inglés.

Si quieres mejorar tus habilidades de lectura en inglés, aquí hay algunos consejos que pueden ayudarte:

1- Comienza por leer en voz alta. Esto te ayudará a mejorar tu pronunciación y a comprender mejor lo que estás leyendo. Además, leer en voz alta te permite ir más lento y detenerte en palabras o frases que no entiendas.

2- Elige textos que sean adecuados para tu nivel de inglés. No trates de leer algo que esté por encima de tus habilidades, ya que esto puede frustrarte y desanimarte. En su lugar, elige textos que sean desafiantes pero asequibles, y que te interesen.

3- Utiliza un diccionario o una aplicación de traducción para ayudarte con las palabras que no entiendas. No te sientas mal si tienes que buscar muchas palabras; esto es normal al principio. Con el tiempo, te darás cuenta de que conoces más y más palabras y que necesitas consultar el diccionario con menos frecuencia.

4- Practica la lectura en inglés todos los días, si es posible. Dedica unos minutos al día a leer en inglés, ya sea un libro, un periódico o un artículo en línea. Esto te ayudará a mantener tus habilidades de lectura en forma y a mejorar constantemente.

5- Haz un seguimiento de tus progresos. Ten un diario o una hoja de cálculo donde registres lo que lees y cuánto tiempo le dedicas a la lectura en inglés cada día. Esto te ayudará a ver tus progresos y a mantenerte motivado.

En resumen, mejorar tus habilidades de lectura en inglés requiere práctica y dedicación. Pero si sigues estos consejos y te comprometes a practicar regularmente, te darás cuenta de que tus habilidades de lectura mejoran con el tiempo. ¡Buena suerte!

International Animal Rights Day - 10 December

International Human Rights Day is celebrated on 10 December, but since 1997, various animal protection organisations and associations have also been celebrating International Animal Rights Day.

Events are held in many cities around the world to raise awareness and reflect on the respect that should be shown to all beings on the planet, thus giving value to Mahatma Gandhi's famous phrase when he said that a country or civilisation can be judged on the way it treats its animals.

Universal Declaration of Animal Rights

But animals not only have their international day, they also have a Universal Declaration of Animal Rights.

It was the International League for Animal Rights that proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights on 15 October 1978. However, there is still a lot of work to be done for this declaration to be accepted on a global level.

The 14 articles that make up this Universal Declaration can be summarised in four basic rights: life, liberty, freedom from pain, and freedom from being considered property.

Yet these rights are violated every day all over the world. Animals are considered as a mere resource at the service of human beings, and this is fuelled by the consumerist concept of our society.

There are more ethical alternatives to meet human needs for food, clothing, health and hygiene and even leisure. And there is a need for a change of consciousness to ensure that animal rights are respected.

Things consumers can do for animal welfare

Although in most cases it is the production companies that practice animal abuse in their production chain, the final consumers are the ones who have the last word, because if there were no demand for certain products, the market would disappear.

Here are some things you can do for animal welfare:

• Avoid consuming eggs and meat from farms where animals are overcrowded and in poor conditions.
• Avoid wearing animal-derived fur garments.
• Avoid using cosmetics and make-up products that do not respect animal welfare.
• Do not attend shows that practise cruelty to animals.
• Fight against the abandonment of pets.
• Do not buy animals in shops but opt for adoption.

The Witty Ant - Thought Stories

Recursos Educativos en Inglés - Stories in English - Cuentos en inglés

Children's stories - The Witty Ant

The ants were collecting food near a stream and, almost without time to react, the water level began to rise rapidly due to the thaw caused by the high temperatures that spring. While most of the insects abandoned what they were carrying and fled in a hurry, one ant carrying a straw six times its size continued its work.

Suddenly, the whole group was trapped in front of a large crevice that was impossible to jump over. But our little ant stopped and skilfully placed the straw, supported at the ends, over the chasm. In this way, all her friends were able to cross the chasm and saved their lives.

The ant was able to turn the heavy load into a bridge and was thus able to continue his journey. In the same way, many people show us every day that the problems and trials they face can become stepping stones to success in life.

Homemade Roscón de Reyes recipe step by step 👑

Cooking recipes - Desserts - How to make Roscón de Reyes?

Ingredients

• 650 g of strong flour
• 250 ml warm milk
• 25-30 g fresh yeast
• 120 g sugar
• 120 g melted butter
• 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk
• 10 g salt
• 2 and 1/2 tablespoons orange blossom water
• Grated zest of 1 large lemon and 1 orange

To decorate:

• candied fruit to taste
• Sugar
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 orange
• Bakeable figures

How to make Roscón de Reyes

First mix a little of the 250 ml of warm milk with 2 or 3 spoonfuls of the strong flour. Add 25-30 g of crumbled fresh yeast and stir everything together. Cover and leave to rise for 15-20 minutes in a warm place to ferment.

Once the starter dough has fermented, add the rest of the flour to a large bowl and gradually add the rest of the ingredients: sugar, lemon and orange zest, salt, milk, 2 eggs, sugar, the starter dough we had in another container fermenting, orange blossom water and finally the melted butter or margarine. Stir until the dough is homogeneous.

Flour a smooth surface and knead for a few minutes with your hands. If necessary, add a little more flour to be able to work the dough well. Shape the dough into a ball, and once well kneaded, keep it in an airtight container or covered with one or two damp cloths for a couple of hours in a warm, draught-free place.

After a couple of hours the dough should have doubled in size. Take it out of the bowl and knead it again on a smooth, floured surface, and little by little we shape it into our roscón. With this dough we have made two roscones, one larger and one smaller, but you can make one larger one or two medium-sized ones. If we are going to make two roscones, we separate the dough and knead each one, shaping it and making the hole with our fingers. The hole will become smaller when baked, so it is advisable to make it large. We must let them rest again for about an hour well covered and in a warm place, a good trick is to turn on the oven previously at 50°C and turn it off, and put the roscones in the oven turned off so that they stay warm.

Finally, we can paint our roscones with egg, and decorate them as we like, for example with candied fruit, candied oranges, flaked almonds, icing sugar, or whatever we prefer. If we want to add a figurine, this is the moment to hide it well inside the dough.

Once we have our roscon de reyes decorated, we put them in the oven preheated to 18o°C for about 20 minutes, if we have a small roscón, it will probably be ready after 15 minutes. We take them out, let them cool a little and if we like, we can cut them in half and fill them with cream, truffle or our favourite filling.

Human Rights Day - 10 December

Human Rights Day is celebrated on 10 December, coinciding with the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted in 1948.

It was two years after the adoption, in 1950, that the General Assembly proclaimed 10 December as Human Rights Day.

Moreover, 1968 was declared the International Year of Human Rights.

What are human rights?

Human rights are inalienable rights that belong to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other condition.

Currently there is a list of human rights created by the United Nations, which defends the right to life, freedom, education, work and many others, which must be respected without any discrimination whatsoever.

How to celebrate Human Rights Day?

You, me and all beings living on this planet have universal human rights and this was possible because a group of people, working together for years in the United Nations Assemblies, managed to make possible a dream that would benefit all citizens of the world.

Today we enjoy a list based on 30 articles that are written in one of the most emblematic documents for all humanity and that has meant a great victory for progress, freedom and peace for all peoples.

It is everyone's responsibility to work for a better society, our small grain of sand can make a difference, so let's take advantage of this date to contribute in some way, either by publishing some informative material on this interesting topic in the different social networks. Your opinion also counts and don't forget to include the hashtag #HumanRightsDay.

Human Rights Day

To be celebrated: 10 December 2022
Proclaims: ONU
Since when: 1950

Slogan 2022: Dignity, freedom and justice for all

This is the slogan for the 2022 campaign, a year-long campaign to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2023.

The aim of the campaign is to raise public awareness of the Declaration and the activism associated with it, in order to address the world's most pressing problems.

O Little Town of Bethlehem - Christmas Song For Kids - Letra y vídeo

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary,
And, gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heav'n.
No ear may hear his coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

Good King Wenceslas - Christmas Song For Kids

Canciones para Niños en Inglés: Navidad - Songs for Children in English: Christmas

Good King Wenceslas - Christmas Song For Kids - Letra y vídeo

Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fuel.

"Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither:
Thou and I shall see him dine, when we bear them thither. "
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together;
Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.

"Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, good my page. Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly."

In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.

We Three Kings - Christmas Song For Kids - Letra y vídeo

We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

O Star of wonder, Star of night,
Star with Royal Beauty bright,
Westward leading.
Still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again;
King forever,
Ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O Star of wonder....
Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a deity nigh;
Prayer and praising
All men raising,
Worship Him God on high.
O Star of wonder....
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing,
Bleeding, dying,
Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.
O Star of wonder....[Pg 41]
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God, and Sacrifice;
Heav’n sings Allelujah:
Allelujah,
The earth replies.
