Egyptian Pyramids
The wonderful Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan and the large
Pyramid of the First Quin King in China are visited by thousands
of people every year. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the
world’s most famous pyramid. It was built in the Sahara Desert
in northern Egypt, and fills an area of 52609 square meters. The bad weather of the
Sahara has actually made the pyramid become smaller 9 meters from its real size.
The pyramid, which was cleaned in 2012, was such a fascinating piece of engineering, that
it was the tallest building in the world for over 4000 years! Most Egyptologists, people
who study Egyptian history, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a
little more than 5,000 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers 20 years to make
it. The pyramid has over 2.000.000 rock blocks. How heavy are they? Most of the blocks
are 2000 or 3000 kilograms.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built from orders by the King Khufu for dead kings. His
closest friend, Hemon, was the pyramid’s architect. The Great pyramid is part of the
three pyramids at Giza, and it is the largest and tallest. The other ones are the Pyramid
of Khafre with two known rooms, and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, with three smaller
pyramids next to it.

The hamburger
There is controversy over the origin of the hamburger. The book “The
hamburger: A history” by Josh Ozersky says it is German. However, where the
inventor of the hamburger is from is still not clear.
It could be Charlie Nagreen, who sold meatballs between two pieces of soft
bread in 1885. Or maybe Frank Menches, from Ohio, who sold a sandwich
made of meat and soft bread in Hamburg, N.Y. In 1885. Another possible
inventor was Louis Lassen, from Connecticut, who served some meat pieces
between two slices of toast in 1900. There was also Fletcher David, a Texan who sold a meat sandwich
with soft bread in a world exhibition in 1904.
However, meat and bread –like today’s hamburger– were more common in Hamburg. Germany, in the
nineteenth century. It was called a Hamburg steak and was and everyday dish for the German
immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. Anyone could prepare it, and they could eat it while
standing up or walking.
So, the hamburger already existed in the early twentieth century, but it was only food for working men
and served in restaurants near factories at midday. However, after the introduction of the automobile
in the market and people’s new wish for meals to eat on the road, the popularity of the hamburger
increased from 1920 on.

River dolphins
River dolphins were first described by Henri Marie
Ducrotay in 1817. He also gave them names. There are 38
kinds of dolphins, but 33 are sea dolphins and only 5 of
them make their homes in large rivers. Although the pink
dolphin lives in the Amazon River, it can also be found in
the Orinoco and Madeira Rivers in smaller numbers. While
they are mostly pink, river dolphins can be light gray or
Página 12 de 18
brown, but science has not found out why they have their lovely color. We guess
they become pinker when they are excited, as happens to us when we´re mad.
River dolphins, like the ones in Southeast Asia or in La Plata River, are clever;
however, the pink dolphins in the Amazon are the cleverest, but not as much as
dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Pink dolphins make sounds to show they enjoy being
close to people; some stories of people close to the river being pushed by them are
popular in the Amazon. If a pink dolphin dies, people think something bad may
happen. However, if this happens, they will use the dead animal’s oil to help other
animals with health problems like infections, but they won’t use the meat.
Unfortunately, river dolphins have died as we have built new towns around their
area and changed the rain forests. Also, they are caught with other animals to be
shown in aquariums.

Effective communication
Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in life is due to our
communication skills. That means that no matter how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly
educated someone is, they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the
right communication skills.
The good news is that anyone can develop good communication skills. And it’s encouraging
to know that even small improvements in your ability to connect with others will have a deep
effect on the quality of your life and business.
Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your conversation partner is
talking. Instead, listen to every word they say and reply as properly and smoothly as possible.
This shows people that you are interested in what they have to say and you are fully engaged
in the moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s something they
say that you don’t quite understand. This will help correct any mistake in the communication.
Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language, eye contact,
engaged listening, managing stress in the moment, the ability to communicate confidently,
and to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re
communicating with. It is the connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork,
and make decisions. It allows you to transfer even negative or difficult messages without
creating disagreement.
These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise.
Besides, you will make people feel more confident to express their thoughts. And finally, you
will reduce stress, deal with challenging situations, and build better relationships at home
and work.

It’s February and London Fashion Week has just ended. Fashion shows have
been happening around the city. Magazines are full of chats about who the
model of the moment is. Superstars and journalists have announced what the
best dressed will be wearing in the coming seasons. Clearly, clothes can
make you happy. I have decided that tomorrow I will ‘dress for success’.
At 7.30 AM, I remember my promise. I decide that dressing for success means more than putting on
my clothes the right way. I need to look good and feel good! The right clothing will make me feel
confident and all my problems will disappear. Colleagues will be proud of me and I will get a better
position.
I open my closet and notice that most of my clothes are black, brown and grey. They hang down
sadly on their hangers. Are they depressed? I decide that a bright color is needed for successful
dressing, and choose a red sweater. Now, I also want to look cool and casual – I take the blue jean
shorts! Finally, it’s cold outside; black tights and long boots area a fashion rule. I look in the mirror. I
realize that I wore exactly the same clothing two days ago. That was the day I lost my purse and had
Página 15 de 18
an argument with my partner. Not what you would call a successful day. I look in my closet. My black,
grey and brown clothes seem to fall even further down.
I shut the drawer of my closet and think that success is a state of mind and decide not to pay attention
to London Fashion Week.

A. You do not have to worry as long as you have shorts and tights to put on because they are basic pieces
of clothing.
B. If you want to be satisfied with life, you should get dressed differently from the models of the London
Fashion Week!
C. It does not matter what you wear; what is important is how you feel and the thoughts you have about
yourself!
D. Do not wear dark colors because you can get depressed. Buy colorful clothing, which makes you feel
better.
