Once upon a time.... there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: "Who do you think you are? There's no denying you're swift, but even you can be beaten!" The hare squealed with laughter.
"Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there's nobody in the world that can win against me, I'm so speedy. Now, why don't you try?"
Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. "Take your time!" he said. "I'll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute."
The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the tortoise's face when it saw the hare speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the hare woke with a jolt. He could see the tortoise a speck in the distance and away he dashed.
He leapt and bounded at a great rate, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he'd be first at the finish. But the hare's last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him.
"Slowly does it every time!" he said.

A continuación, aprenderás las frases que necesitas saber para presentarse en inglés, ya sea durante un viaje o una entrevista profesional.
En los países de habla inglesa no sólo saludas cuando conoces a alguien. Contrariamente a los hábitos españoles, te presentas en inglés dando tu nombre y tu profesión. Ciertamente lo has notado en las series o películas en inglés que ves, ¿no es así?
Para decir "hola", normalmente decimos "hello", o "hi" pero es más familiar.
Dependiendo de la hora del día, puedes decir "good morning" (por la mañana), "good afternoon" (por la tarde), "good evening" (por la noche) y "good night". Estas son también formas de decir adiós cuando dejas a alguien.
Luego le preguntas a la persona con la que estás hablando cómo le va para llevar la conversación más allá:
How are you? / How do you do? (= ¿Cómo estás?)
ou encore Nice to meet you! (= ¡Encantado de conocerte!)
Luego das tu nombre y preguntas por el nombre de la persona con la que estás hablando:
What’s your name? (= ¿Cuál es tu nombre?)
My name is Paul Dupont / I am Paul Dupont (= Mi nombre es Paul Dupont)
Para tla edad, es muy simple:
How old are you ? I’m 62 / I am 62 years old. (= ¿Cuántos años tienes? Tengo 62 / Tengo 62 años)
This is my friend Brian. Este es mi amigo Brian.
Brian, can I introduce you to Jane. - Brian, ¿puedo presentarte a Jane?
Brian, can I introduce you to Jane. - Brian, permíteme que te presente a Jane.

En inglés, la pregunta ¿Cuántos años tienes? no se hace con el verbo tener, sino con be:
How old + be (conjugado) + sujeto?
Para responder se hace igualmente con be:
How old are you? - I'm sixteen (years old)
How old is he? - He's twenty-three (years old)
How old are they? - They're thirty (years old)
Para anticipar un futuro cambio de edad, el inglés a menudo utiliza el verbo "TO TURN" (+número):
This year, I’ll turn 35.
Este año, cumpliré 35.
No cometer errores al hablar de la edad también significa dominar su uso como adjetivo. Tomemos un ejemplo:
I have a two-year-old son.
Tengo un hijo de dos años.
En este contexto, la edad se convierte en un adjetivo cuando se coloca delante del sustantivo; entonces es invariable (sin "s" a año) y siempre se presenta con guiones.
How old do you think I am? / How old do you think I look? - ¿Cuántos años crees que tengo? / ¿Qué edad crees que tengo?
How old do you think he is? / How old do you think he looks? - ¿Cuántos años crees que tiene? / ¿Qué edad crees que tiene?
He's in his twenties = he's around 20 years old - Está en sus veinte años = tiene alrededor de 20 años.
He's in his late twenties = he's between 25 and 30 years old - Tiene veintitantos años = tiene entre 25 y 30 años.
He's in his thirties = he's around 30 years old - Tiene treinta y tantos años = tiene alrededor de 30 años.
In his late thirties = he's between 35 and 40 years old - A finales de los treinta y tantos = tiene entre 35 y 40 años.
He's in his fourties = he's around 40 years old - Tiene cuarenta y tantos años = tiene alrededor de 40 años.
He's in his fifties = he's around 50 years old - Tiene cincuenta años = tiene alrededor de 50 años.
He's in his sixties = he's around 60 years old - Tiene sesenta años = tiene alrededor de 60 años.
