Mara Price
Abuela's visits from
Mexico are always full of excitement for young Sabrina. She can't wait
to see what's in her grandmother's yellow suitcase covered in stickers
from all the places she has visited. Opening it is like opening a
treasure chest, and this year is no different. Inside are a host of
riches: colorful ribbons, a clay whistle shaped like a bird, a drum,
and the strong smell of chocolate.

A high educational level and the enormous
quantity of written communications that readers obtain on a daily basis
in a globalized society do not guarantee that those readers can
interpret the texts in a correct manner. Are you sure you fully
understand what you read? Can you remember the reading and retell it in
your own words? Could you identify and summarize the main ideas of a
text?

César
Vidal
No other president
has had more impact on the international level as Abraham Lincoln. The
figure of Lincoln, with extraordinary nuances, towers above both
American and world history. It is worth noting that the aspect of
Lincoln’s personality which has drawn the least notice, both
in fictional and non-fictional works, is the spiritual. Lincoln was a
man of deep and abiding faith who prayed habitually, who read and knew
the Bible in-depth, and who sought the path of God in his own life.
