Surprise Party

Gary Johnson went to work last Monday, as usual. He walked into the office, but nobody was there. He looked in the offices. He looked in the cafeteria. He looked in the employee bathrooms. He even looked in the basement. Gary didn't know what to do. He walked back to his office. The lights in his office were turned off. He turned on the lights and everybody he worked with yelled: "Surprise!" It was Gary's birthday.

    Hola Pablo,

    Estoy peleando con un frío horrible por lo que sólo leerá dos de estos ejercicios de modo que usted puede oír la diferencia en la forma se pronuncian las palabras. Creo que están haciendo un gran trabajo de hablar Inglés. Su pronunciación sólo necesita un poco de ajustes but only little ones because it really is very good.
