    10.-Reading Comprehension
    Wednesday, January 11, 2011
    Today is Wednesday, January 11. It is another snowy, cold afternoon in Buffalo,
    New York. I am feeling stressed out and overwhelmed with work. My boss wants
    me to work longer hours. I’m already working 50 hours at the newsroom and
    writing at home about 20 hours each week. I’m a journalist at The Buffalo Times
    and have my own column. My boyfriend wants me to work fewer hours because
    he doesn’t get to see me very often. I want to work hard in order to get a promotion
    to the manager position in the company. My parents want me to have less stress.
    They want me to take better care of my health. I’m working from home today
    because I’m sick with another virus. I keep thinking, if I had gotten more sleep,
    I wouldn’t be sick. On the other hand, if I work harder, my boss will give me the
    manager position that I’ve always wanted. If I get the manager position, I will
    have more time to focus on training editors new to the paper. Furthermore, I will
    not have to spend as much time outside of work, worrying about my writing.
    Instead, my focus will be on helping and teaching in-experienced writers find
    their style of writing.

    Recuerda que en inglés oral, en muchas ocasiones la h no se pronuncia.

    más natural y además comprenderás a los nativos mucho mejor.

    Practica con estas frases siguiendo las indicaciones de los tres primeros
    ejemplos. La clave es hacer sonar la frase como si fuese una sola palabra y
    prestar atención a omitir la h uniendo las palabras.
