Posted by XSaint On 16:13 | No comments
hola que tal, aqui les paso otro material de yappr para que aprendan de forma divertida y rapida el ingles, este video es de un hotel de hielo construido en Suecia que se construyo con 800 toneladas de hielo y que solo estuvo abierto por 3 meses, y que en su primer dia recibio mas de 12 000 huespedes. Bueno el video lo pueden ver aqui y mas abajo veran los subtitulos asi como un glosario de algunos terminos para ayudarles con el vocabulario asi como he hecho en los otros videos
Subtitles
00:00Over 6 incredible weeks, this colossal complex of snow and ice has risen from the banks of the Torne River in far northern Sweden...
00:10...as it has each year for the last decade and a half. It is without doubt a frozen wonder of the world.
00:30Thousands of tons of snow and ice designed, built, and sculpted by an international team. It’s the biggest igloo on the planet.
00:47The giant ice chandelier hanging in the Main Hall is the only feature that remains the same year after year.
00:58Everything else is created as a unique piece just for this year’s Icehotel. Fiber optic and LED lighting transforms each room into a fantasy land.
01:17It’s D-Day in Lapland, and the first guests check into one of the most amazing hotels on the planet. It’ll only be open for 3 months. Then, it will melt.
01:30Before it does, 12,000 guests will stay here for at least one night. Tens of thousands more will visit for a day.
01:39This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because in just a few months’ time, all this would have melted to nothing.
01:57Experience a bar where the drinks don’t come with ice; they come on ice and in ice. Every glass is made of the same ice as the hotel.
02:14In the nearby ice factory, the ice lathes are working full-time to create thousands of these one-use-only ice glasses.
02:23In a single season, around 800 tons of Torne River ice will be turned into these glasses – nearly a million in total. They’re used, then they melt.
02:39Just as everything here will eventually melt. To its creators, the ice hotel is not so much a building; it’s an inspiration that’s frozen once a year...
02:50...shines briefly, then returns to nature from whence it came.
