THE RABBIT AND THE TURTLE







Para entender el texto, necesitas sacar vocabulario y traducirlo, practicar haciendo preguntas y respuestas, etc.

                                    



The Rabbit and the Turtle


One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit's surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The turtle, You know I'm better than you, I can do many things that you can't. I believe you aren't the best and the fastest as many others think. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the challenge, because he knows that he's the fastest. He says to the turle I'm faster than you, but let's race to show you that I'm right. The fox, the rabbit's friend was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him, he would be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going. However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.

Online adjective order exercises:












Exercises:



Let’s learn about the adjectives order:

Sometimes we use two or more adjectives together:

- A dirty old black cat is wandering the streets


A / 'OPINION' ADJECTIVES  

    Adjectives like nice and dirty are opinion adjectives. They tell us what you think about somebody or something.
    Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives


B /   'FACT' ADJECTIVES

      Adjectives like new, old, black are fact adjectives. They give us factual information about, age and colour.
      Sometimes we use two or more fact adjectives. Very often, we put fact adjectives in this order :
