What you have been, Mark? A me has liked a lot. Well, yeah, no me got much the voice of Rory, eh? But we have a new personage that inseggy, that will enter to a scene. Yes, Alejandro. Alexander. Alejandro.

Well, what we do now is to hear a resum of the text in English. This text, as we know, is based around

an email from Rory to Maria in one of his three moments in the hotel. I'm a ratito

live in the hotel and I decided to write a email. As we know, Maria is working as a

lifeguard on the beach and Rory imagines that she'll be saving swimmers and helping

holiday makers with her jellyfish stings. He's already enjoying his summer and he's delighted that he decided to come to Majorca to spend it with Maria. Things are fairly quiet in the hotel for the time being. Rory explains that Consuelo is very organised and she's being very patient with him. It's his responsibility to help guests to their

rooms. However, this morning it seems that he was alone in reception when the phone rang so he had no choice but to answer it. The caller wanted to speak to one of the guests and Rory connected him to what he thought was the correct room, but it turned out not to be and he ended up waking up an elderly man. The guest was angry and the collar was angry, not the most successful of mornings. As we know, Rory is a learner of Spanish and most of his learning happened in Argentina, so he's used to the structures used there, particularly when it comes to recounting events which happened in the past. He tends to use the preterate tense rather than the perfect tense, which would be used in Spain and some other parts of Latin America.

Anyway, after checking with Maria that he's using his verbs correctly, he continues the story. Consuelo arrived and showed him how the phone system works and told him you learn something new every day. Nunkka te ira can't go to the camera, since having something new. Rory has received an email from his friend Alejandro from Argentina with whom he lived in Buenos Aires.

Alejandro is also a keen scuba diver, and he's going to be coming to Spain to spend the summer traveling there. And he's planning on visiting Majorca, so they'll be able to see each other and Rory is sure that Maria and Alejandro will get on well together. Rory ends his email by suggesting that after work he and Maria go for a picnic. There's also a showing of a Hitchcock film in the open-air cinema in Palma. Rory feels that given the heat,

the best place to be is outside after the sun goes down. that's a lot of the and we'll talk about that phrase in just a moment he asks Maria to send him an SMS if she would like to go to the cinema and with that he finishes his email let's come back to that phrase now Carmen say it again please for us

so it's Tantano Calor that me to be able to be the street so it's so hot it's so much and it's interesting there because it literally means it does so much heat exactly yeah

of course it's so hot I've got to do something so I think it's warm but literally it does heat it makes heat so we have to say it makes so much heat

that's so much heat that's so much heat in the case of of Rore that me apeteence. That's a nice expression too. Yes, very nice. That I feel like doing something. So me apeteenthe

I feel like going to the cinema. Let's try a couple of examples of that with our listeners. Me appetace to take a refreshco this afternoon. So I feel like going for a drink this evening. Or I fancy going for a drink. Exactly.

It's the same significato. And of course the subject of this is in this case the drink. Exactly. Refresco, me appetese. It pleases me or it attracts me or it entices me or something like that. It's difficult to translate like that, of course,

because it really is, I feel like something. However, of course, the subject and object change in Spanish. With other expression of the time, also we can use the frio, we can say, it's so free that no me appetize to go to my house. Perfect. Very good

example. that no me appetise to say to say adios. Very well. Okay, it's now time where we need to say adios to our listeners
