22
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:59.700
Three friends, Luciana, Mateo and Santiago, were getting ready for
23
00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:06.510
a day of work. However, a peculiar adventure awaited them. Luciana,
24
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:13.449
Mateo and Santiago entered the narrow elevator. Luciana, trying to
25
00:02:13.490 --> 00:02:19.659
hide her fear at the heights, breathed slowly. Mateo, excited
26
00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:22.120
by a new gadget in his backpack, did not stop
27
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:28.530
talking about his functions. Santiago, con su impecable planeación, revisaba
28
00:02:28.550 --> 00:02:31.550
el horario del simulacro de seguridad que se llevaría a
29
00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:36.870
cabo esa tarde. Pero inesperadamente, el ascensor se detuvo con
30
00:02:36.930 --> 00:02:41.129
un brusco temblor. El aire se volvió tenso cuando una
31
00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:46.400
luz roja comenzó a parpadear. Santiago, revisando la hora en
32
00:02:46.409 --> 00:02:52.080
su reloj, dijo preocupado, estamos atrapados. Y la señal no
33
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.349
funciona por el simulacro. Luciana, despite feeling a knot in
34
00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:02.750
her stomach, decided to show her courage. We can't stay here,
35
00:03:02.789 --> 00:03:09.150
she exclaimed. I have to go to an important meeting.
36
00:03:09.169 --> 00:03:14.370
Let's make a plan. Mateo, with his curious mind of technology,
37
00:03:14.750 --> 00:03:19.050
suggested examining the elevator control panel. Maybe we can open
38
00:03:19.069 --> 00:03:24.139
the doors manually, he said. mostrando a Luciana y Santiago
39
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:31.800
una pequeña herramienta multifuncional. Luciana tomó la iniciativa. Con determinación,
40
00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:35.479
dirigió los esfuerzos de Mateo y Santiago para forzar una
41
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:40.430
rendija en las puertas. Afuera, la voz del altavoz anunció
42
00:03:40.469 --> 00:03:45.110
la inminente fase final del simulacro, un bloqueo automático del edificio.
43
00:03:46.430 --> 00:03:52.009
El tiempo se agotaba. Santiago, con manos temblorosas pero firmes,
44
00:03:52.430 --> 00:03:57.449
empujó junto a sus amigos. De repente, un ruido metálico
45
00:03:57.469 --> 00:04:03.930
indicó que las puertas comenzaban a ceder.—¡ Rápido!— gritó Luciana,
46
00:04:04.310 --> 00:04:07.219
y los tres lograron zafarse justo en el instante en
47
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.759
que el sistema de cierre comenzaba a activarse. Corrieron por
48
00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:15.639
el pasillo, sus pasos resonando contra las paredes de vidrio.
49
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.430
Finalmente llegaron a la cafetería, donde el aire fresco y
50
00:04:20.470 --> 00:04:23.610
la luz solar los envolvieron con una sensación de libertad.
51
00:04:24.949 --> 00:04:28.910
Exhaustos pero aliviados, se dejaron caer en unas sillas, a
52
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:35.160
medio camino entre jadeos y risas nerviosas. Allí, decidieron recompensarse
53
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.660
con unas crujientes empanadas. A veces, enfrentar nuestros miedos es
54
00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:45.629
la única manera de superarlos, reflexionó Luciana, saboreando la empanada
55
00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:50.829
con satisfacción, mientras contemplaba la vista desde la torre. Los
56
00:04:50.850 --> 00:04:54.829
tres amigos entendieron que, pese a los contratiempos, el trabajo
57
00:04:54.850 --> 00:04:57.500
en equipo y la confianza en uno mismo podían abrir
58
00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:00.959
cualquier puerta, incluso las de un ascensor atrapado en el
59
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.759
rascacielos más alto de Chile.
60
00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:06.980
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
61
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:07.600
may have missed.
62
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.250
Reflejando los brillantes rayos de sol de la primavera.

Santiago, reflecting the bright spring sunlight.
65
00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:33.269
En su interior, tres amigos, Luciana, Mateo y Santiago, se
66
00:05:33.290 --> 00:05:35.730
preparaban para un día de trabajo.
67
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:42.089
Inside, three friends, Luciana, Mateo and Santiago, were getting ready
68
00:05:42.129 --> 00:06:02.029
for a work day. However, an unusual adventure awaited them. Luciana, Mateo,
69
00:06:02.350 --> 00:06:04.709
and Santiago entered the narrow service elevator.
70
00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:12.300
Luciana, tratando de ocultar su miedo a las alturas, respiraba lentamente.
71
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.819
Luciana, trying to hide her fear of heights, was breathing slowly.
72
00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:24.029
Mateo, excited about a new gadget in his backpack, couldn't
73
00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:26.209
stop talking about its features.
74
00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:49.529
Santiago, with his impeccable planning, was reviewing the schedule for
75
00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:51.949
the safety drill that would take place that afternoon.
76
00:06:53.029 --> 00:06:58.259
Pero inesperadamente, el ascensor se detuvo con un brusco temblor.
77
00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:03.199
But unexpectedly, the elevator stopped with a sudden jolt.
78
00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:07.839
Tension filled the air when a red light started flashing.
79
00:07:15.970 --> 00:07:21.879
Revisando la hora en su reloj, dijo preocupado, estamos atrapados.
80
00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:27.759
Santiago, checking the time on his watch, said worriedly, we're stuck.
81
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.920
Y la señal no funciona por el simulacro.
82
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.759
And the signal isn't working because of the drill.
83
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.930
Luciana, a pesar de sentir un nudo en el estómago,
84
00:07:41.430 --> 00:07:43.490
decidió mostrar su valentía.
85
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.870
Luciana, despite feeling a knot in her stomach, decided to
86
00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:49.670
show her bravery.
87
00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:54.129
No podemos quedarnos aquí, exclamó.
88
00:07:55.910 --> 00:07:57.750
We can't stay here, she exclaimed.
89
00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:01.819
Tengo que llegar a una reunión importante.
90
00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:04.959
I have to get to an important meeting.
91
00:08:05.980 --> 00:08:07.439
Pidemos un plan.
92
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:10.240
Let's come up with a plan.
93
00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:19.269
Sugirió examinar el panel de control del ascensor.
94
00:08:21.110 --> 00:08:26.250
Mateo, with his tech-curious mind, suggested examining the elevator's control panel.
95
00:08:27.310 --> 00:08:32.610
Tal vez podamos abrir las puertas manualmente, dijo, mostrando a
96
00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:36.929
Luciana y Santiago una pequeña herramienta multifuncional.
97
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.879
Maybe we can open the doors manually, he said, showing
98
00:08:41.940 --> 00:08:44.679
Luciana and Santiago a small multifunctional tool.
99
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:55.840
Luciana took the initiative. Con determinación, dirigió los esfuerzos de
100
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:00.159
Mateo y Santiago para forzar una rendija en las puertas.
101
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.120
With determination, she directed Mateo and Santiago's efforts to force
102
00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:07.389
open a crack in the doors.
103
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:13.190
Afuera, la voz del altavoz anunció la inminente fase final
104
00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:17.490
del simulacro Un bloqueo automático del edificio.
105
00:09:19.289 --> 00:09:22.649
Outside, the speaker's voice announced the imminent final phase of
106
00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:30.580
the drill, an automatic building lockdown. Time was running out.
107
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:36.159
Santiago, with hands trembling but firm, pushed along with his friends.
108
00:09:44.970 --> 00:09:50.009
De repente, un ruido metálico indicó que las puertas comenzaban
109
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:50.529
a ceder.
110
00:09:50.549 --> 00:09:50.649
Rápido.
111
00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:55.750
Suddenly, a metallic noise indicated that the doors were starting
112
00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:56.320
to give way.
113
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:05.779
Rápido. Quick! Gritó Luciana, y los tres lograron zafarse justo
114
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.350
en el instante en que el sistema de cierre comenzaba
115
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:10.350
a activarse.
116
00:10:12.169 --> 00:10:15.690
Shouted Luciana, and the three managed to escape just as
117
00:10:15.730 --> 00:10:17.470
the locking system began to activate.
118
00:10:18.570 --> 00:10:23.629
Corrieron por el pasillo, sus pasos resonando contra las paredes
119
00:10:23.669 --> 00:10:24.389
de vidrio.
120
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:29.149
They ran down the hallway, their footsteps echoing against the
121
00:10:29.190 --> 00:10:29.850
glass walls.
122
00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:35.549
Finalmente llegaron a la cafetería, donde el aire fresco y
123
00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:39.629
la luz solar los envolvieron con una sensación de libertad.
124
00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:45.220
Finally, they reached the cafeteria, where fresh air and sunlight
125
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:46.820
enveloped them with a sense of freedom.
126
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:53.139
Exhaustos pero aliviados, se dejaron caer en unas sillas a
127
00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:56.620
medio camino entre jadeos y risas nerviosas.
128
00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:02.470
Exhausted but relieved, they collapsed into chairs, midway between gasps
129
00:11:02.570 --> 00:11:03.490
and nervous laughter.
130
00:11:04.629 --> 00:11:09.750
Allí, decidieron recompensarse con unas crujientes empanadas.
131
00:11:11.690 --> 00:11:15.000
There, they decided to reward themselves with some crispy empanadas.
132
00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:21.419
A veces... Enfrentar nuestros miedos es la única manera de superarlos,
133
00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:28.970
reflexionó Luciana, saboreando la empanada con satisfacción mientras contemplaba la
134
00:11:28.990 --> 00:11:30.450
vista desde la torre.
135
00:11:32.289 --> 00:11:35.350
Sometimes facing our fears is the only way to overcome them,
136
00:11:35.830 --> 00:11:40.750
reflected Luciana, savoring the empanada with satisfaction while contemplating the
137
00:11:40.809 --> 00:11:41.700
view from the tower.
138
00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:47.559
Los tres amigos entendieron que, pese a los contratiempos, El
139
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.200
trabajo en equipo y la confianza en uno mismo podían
140
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.990
abrir cualquier puerta, incluso las de un ascensor atrapado en
141
00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:58.470
el rascacielos más alto de Chile.
142
00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:03.870
The three friends understood that, despite the setbacks, teamwork and
143
00:12:03.909 --> 00:12:07.389
self-confidence could open any door, even those of an elevator
144
00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:17.539
trapped in the tallest skyscraper in Chile. Today's vocabulary words
145
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.460
