Transcripción oficial del audio

Interviewer: Welcome to our weekly program about famous Americans. Tonight, we go after the story of one of the most extraordinary men of our time. He is Frank Lloyd Wright, perhaps the greatest architect of the twentieth century and certainly the most famous American architect ever. And in the opinion of some, America's foremost social rebel. So, let’s talk to Mr. Roger Wolf, Frank Lloyd Wright’s biographer. Mr Wolf, how would you define him?

Mr Wolf: Well, I’m not the most appropriate person to define him. According to a story in Life Magazine not many years back, fellow architects have called him everything, from a great poet to an insufferable windbag. The clergy has deplored his morals, creditors have deplored his financial habits, politicians, his opinions. Admirers of Frank Lloyd Wright consider him as a man one hundred years ahead of his time. I’m an admirer.

Interviewer: One of his most famous statements was "If I had another fifteen years to work, I could rebuild this entire country, I could change the nation." Now, would you tell me why should he, one man, want to change the way of life of millions and millions of people?

Mr Wolf: Well, he thought the way of life in which the country... to which the country is committed needs change.

Interviewer: But don’t you think these words show his ego, his self-centeredness? You're saying that practically everyone in the United States is out of step except Frank Lloyd Wright.

Mr Wolf: Not at all, I’m not saying anything of the kind. It isn't their job to build, it was his. He thought people should have a right to look to their architects for suggestions for what they should build.

Interviewer: Well, as an architect...

Mr Wolf: ...and how they should build it.

Interviewer: As an architect, how would he have liked to change the way that we live?

Mr Wolf: He wouldn't have liked to change so much the way we live, as what we live in, and how we live in it. Wright always said that we ourselves are changing in the buildings we live in. Most people don't really understand what it is to live in an organic building with organic character.

Interviewer: Well now, organic building, organic character, these are words which are difficult to understand.

Mr Wolf: Well, let's say natural, would that suit you better? For Wright, a truly organic building developed from within outwards and was thus in harmony with its time, place, and inhabitants.

Interviewer: I'm still not... I would like specifically, to know what you mean, how would he like to change the way that we live?

Mr Wolf: He meant he'd have liked to have a free architecture, an architecture that belonged where you see it standing, architecture that graced the landscape instead of being a disgrace in the landscape. His clients told him how those buildings he had built for them had changed the character of their whole lives and their whole existence. And it's different now than it was before. Well, he'd have liked to do that for the whole country.

Interviewer: But, imagine New York. When he came to New York, and he saw the skyline of New York, didn’t it excite him? After all, he did design the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Most of us think that New York is so spectacular and imposing.

Mr Wolf: In fact, it didn’t impress him at all. Because it never was planned, it was all the result of a race for rent, and it is a great monument, he thought, to the power of money and to greed. It wasn’t about ideas. He didn't see an idea in the whole thing anywhere. Do you? Where is the idea in it? What's the idea?

Interviewer: The idea is obviously, it seems to me, that a lot of people want to live together to make their livings, to make money, to... to enjoy what this large city has to offer. And I guess from time immemorial people have flocked more or less to one spot to exchange ideas as well as goods.

Mr Wolf: But there was a justification for that. When there were no other means of communication than by personal contact. That's when the plans for the cities we now live in originated. They originated back in the Middle Ages, when the only way you could have a culture, the only way you could get social distinction or any education, was by joining other people. Today, however, we cannot get modern improvements here in the city anymore.

Interviewer: Let me see if I get your point. Is Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous work, an example of good architecture? What is it that makes Fallingwater so special?

Mr Wolf: Fallingwater is Frank Lloyd Wright’s house built over a waterfall in Pennsylvania for a rich family from Pittsburgh in the 1930s, and it’s arguably the most famous house of the modern era. I think it’s Wright’s supreme example of architecture connected to nature, what he called ‘organic architecture’, because the house is integrated into the landscape. The water flows through the living room.

Interviewer: I get it now. Let’s talk about other aspects of Wright’s personality. Wright had faith in youth. However, he did not have faith in the mob, yet young people grow into adults and often turn into a mob. Or do I misunderstand?

Mr Wolf: I think you’ve got it right. He believed that many people were not properly educated and didn't have an opportunity to go right instead of left. He always said that he put a capital N on Nature, and that is where people had to go, go back to Nature. He said that when you go out into a big forest, with towering pines, and experience a feeling of awe, frequently you do connect with the presence of nature, you not only feel large, you feel enlarged and encouraged, intensified, more powerful.

Interviewer: It is clear in your biography that he was rebellious, a radical in his art and life. Do you agree?

Mr Wolf: Absolutely. But don’t forget that if you ask the average citizen to name a famous American architect, you can bet that their answer will be Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright gained such cultural primacy for good reason: he changed the way we build and live.

Interviewer: Mr. Wolf, I thank you for talking with us today.

Mr Wolf: Well, you're welcome.

ASSATEAGUE’S WILD HORSES

Assateague Island is a 60 km long barrier island located on the East Coast of the United States, facing the Atlantic Ocean. The northern two-thirds of the island is in Maryland while the southern third is in Virginia. The Maryland section contains the majority of Assateague Island National Seashore; the Virginia section contains Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The island contains numerous marshes, bays and pristine beaches, and is a habitat for migratory birds and a wildlife sanctuary.

Assateague, however, is best known for its herds of wild horses. The “wild” horses on Assateague are actually feral animals, meaning that they are descendants of domestic animals that have reverted to a wild state. Horses tough enough to survive the scorching heat, abundant mosquitoes, stormy weather and poor quality food found on this remote, windswept barrier island, which have formed a unique wild horse society.

Local folklore describes the Assateague horses as survivors of a shipwreck off the Virginia coast. While this dramatic tale of struggle and survival is popular, there are no records yet that confirm it. The most plausible explanation is that they are the descendants of horses that were brought to barrier islands like Assateague in the late 17th century by mainland owners to avoid fencing laws and taxation of livestock.

The horses are split into two main herds, one on the Virginia side and one on the Maryland side of Assateague. They are separated by a fence at the Virginia/Maryland State line. These herds have divided themselves into bands of two to twelve animals and each band occupies a home range. The National Park Service manages the Maryland herd. The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company owns and manages the Virginia herd, which is allowed to graze on Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge through a special use permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The permit restricts the size of the herd to approximately 150 adult animals in order to protect the other natural resources of the wildlife refuge. It is the Virginia herd which is often referred to as the “Chincoteague” ponies.

Many visitors first learn about the Assateague horses from Marguerite Henry’s famous book Misty of Chincoteague. The story takes place during a traditional Chincoteague festival called “Pony Penning.’’ On the last Wednesday of July, the Virginia herd of horses is rounded up and made to swim from Assateague Island to nearby Chincoteague Island. On the following day most of the young foals are auctioned off. Proceeds from the sale benefit the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department.

Assateague’s horses are beautiful, tough, and wild. They have learned to survive in a harsh environment. Feeding and/or petting them is detrimental to both visitors and horses. Horses can get sick from human food. Those that learn to come up to the road to beg for food are often hit and killed by cars. Visitors are kicked, bitten and knocked down every year as a direct result of getting too close to the wild horses. Treating wild horses like tame animals takes away the wildness that makes them special. The park rangers warn visitors that they must protect their family by respecting the horses: people must give the horses the space they need to be wild.

There are few places in the United States where you can view wild horses. Due to their complex social structure the Assateague horses display a wide range of unique behaviors. Visitors can take advantage of the opportunity to view these horses in a natural habitat. With careful management, the wild horses will continue to thrive on Assateague Island and provide enjoyment to thousands of nature enthusiasts, photographers, and people who just love horses!

Every August, the Gràcia neighbourhood in Barcelona turns into an open-air art gallery. For a week, residents compete to have the best-decorated street, and the results are astonishing: one street becomes an underwater world, another a jungle made of recycled bottles and cardboard. Visitors wander between the displays, which neighbours spend months preparing.

The festival is not only about decoration. Every square has its own stage, so within a few minutes’ walk you can hear rumba, rock and traditional music. Local associations run food stalls, and one night features a correfoc, in which people dressed as devils dance among sparks and drums.

If you plan to visit, arrive early to avoid the crowds and wear comfortable shoes. Above all, talk to the neighbours: they are proud of their festival and always happy to explain how their street chose its theme.

Last summer, my cousins and I spent a weekend in Aigüestortes National Park, in the Pyrenees. At nine o’clock we were walking beside a lake so still that the mountains seemed to hang upside down in the water.

At first everything went smoothly. We had lunch near a waterfall and spotted some chamois on a distant slope. A ranger had told us that some flowers along the path were protected, so we only photographed them. Then dark clouds covered the sky and, within minutes, a violent storm had soaked us.

We sheltered under a rock until another ranger showed us a shorter way to the refuge, where we dried our clothes by the fire.

Looking back, I remember the storm more clearly than the views. It taught me that nature deserves respect, and that the best trips are often the unplanned ones.

Qué pide la consigna

Pide un texto narrativo sobre tu visita a un parque nacional, en 125–150 palabras, y la consigna hace tres preguntas: si lo has visitado, qué hiciste y si viste animales salvajes o flora protegida. La redacción modelo cuenta una excursión en orden cronológico, en pasado, con un nudo (la tormenta) y un cierre, y contesta a las tres preguntas: la visita, la caminata y la comida, los rebecos y las flores protegidas.

In my opinion, current measures fall short, and governments should act far more firmly to protect wildlife.

Firstly, creating national parks is a good start, but laws mean little without enforcement. Many protected areas have too few rangers, so poachers and illegal loggers operate almost freely. Governments should invest in more staff and modern technology to monitor these areas.

Secondly, habitats are shrinking because of farming, roads and urban growth. If a government approves a motorway through a nature reserve, no declaration of protection will save the species that live there. Stricter limits on construction, and real penalties for companies that damage the environment, are essential.

Some argue that protection is too expensive, but healthy ecosystems also bring income through tourism.

In conclusion, protecting animals requires more than good intentions. Governments must act more forcefully before it is too late.

Qué pide la consigna

Pide un ensayo de opinión que conteste a dos preguntas: si los gobiernos hacen lo suficiente por proteger a los animales en su hábitat y si deberían actuar con más contundencia, en 125–150 palabras. La redacción modelo da su postura desde la primera frase (no hacen lo suficiente y deben actuar con más firmeza), la apoya con dos razones con ejemplos, contesta una objeción y cierra con una conclusión.
