Hi everyone! Again, it's been a long while since I've written. Sorry about that! But I have been busy! I'm writing a new PowerPoint (finally) for El viaje perdido, and I am almost finished with my level one SSR book. Here's a sample of the latter. I want to give a shout out to my artist, Sarah Kelly. She's really good!
Hay un chico que quiere pasar la noche
en una casa espantada. Él va a la casa y se sienta en una silla. No
hay nadie.
There is a boy that wants to spend the night in a haunted house. He goes to the house and sits in a chair. Nobody is there.
El chico está sentado por quince
minutos, y de repente un gato grande viene. El gato es tan grande como un
perro. Él se sienta con el chico. Tiene ojos grandotes y
verdes. No le dice nada.
The boy is sitting for 15 minutes, and suddenly a big cat comes in. The cat is as big as a dog. He sits with the boy. He has big green eyes. He doesn't say anything to him.
El chico y el gato están sentados por
quince minutos. Luego, alguien toca la puerta. La puerta esta
cerrada, así que el gato se levanta, va a la puerta y la abre con su
cola. Entra otro gato, aún más grande que el grande con los ojos
verdes. El gato es tan grande como un caballo. Tiene ojos
azules. El chico mira la puerta, pero está cerrada de nuevo.
The boy and the cat are sitting for 15 minutes. Then, someone knocks on the door. The door is closed, so the cat gets up, goes to the door, and opens it with his tail. Another cat enters, even bigger than the green-eyed cat. The cat is as big as a horse. He has green eyes. The boy looks at the door, but it is closed again.
De repente, el gato grande le habla al
otro gato. --¿Cuándo vamos a comer?-- El otro gato le responde—Martin no
está. Comemos cuando esté.—
Suddenly, the big cat talks to the other cat. "When will we eat?" The other cat responds to him, "Martin isn't here. We'll eat when he's here."
Los dos gatos se sientan con el
chico. No dicen nada, sólo lo miran con los ojos grandes.
Luego, un grito: ¡Aquí estoy! El gato corre a
la puerta cerrada y la abre. Un gato enorme entra.
Es tan grande como un elefante y tiene ojos negros. Se sienta con sus amigos y con el
chico.
The two cats sit with the boy. They don't say anything, only look at him with their big eyes. The, a shout: "Here I am!" The cat runs to the closed door and opens it. An enormous cat enters. He is as big as an elephant and has black eyes. He sits with his friends and the boy.
Nadie le dice nada por unos minutos. Luego el gato nuevo le dice--¿Cuándo comemos? ¡Tengo
hambre!-- Todos los gatos miran al chico. –Martin no está.—
Nobody says anything for a few minutes. then the new cat says, "When do we eat? I'm hungry!" All the cats look at the boy. "Martin isn't here."
De repente, el chico se levanta y corre
a la puerta. La abre y les dice a los gatos –Lo siento. No puedo
esperar más. ¡Adiós!—
El chico nunca regresa a una casa
espantada.
