Reading: The coffee

Coffee is the most important agricultural product in Colombia. It has


influenced the national economy and the social development of our
country. Coffee has been cultivated in Colombia since the beginning
of the 19th century. Now, the green tree of African origin is cultivated
in many departments. This is the coffee process: First, the coffee
tree is planted. After 3 or 4 years, the plant begins to produce fruits,
the ripened fruits or cherries are hand-gathered by coffee collectors.
The fresh fruit is pulped by a pulping machine, the residue of the
pulp is removed by fermentation in tanks, the coffee beans are
finally washed with pure water, the coffee beans are dried naturally
or mechanically and the coffee is ready for the industry.

: Mr. Jones
Mr. Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen. It was
a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out. He
was surprised to see a neatly dressed, middle-aged professor, who
worked in the university just up the road from Mr. Joness house,
coming from the direction of the town. He had grey hair and thick
glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a
bag. Mr. Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train
and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.
Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a
long rope to one of its branches, so that they could swing on it.
Mr. Jones was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the
rope, and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that
there was nobody in sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no
fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass
and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was
strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and
swung into the air on the end of the rope, his grey hair blowing all
around his face.
Backwards and forwards he swung, occasionally taking a few more
running steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly
for him.
At last the professor stopped, straightened his tie, combed his hair
carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag,
and continued on his way to the university, looking as quiet and
correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

Mr. Jones
Mr. Jones se despert una maana temprano, antes de que saliera
el sol. Fue una hermosa maana, as que fue a la ventana y mir
hacia afuera. Era sorprendi al ver un bien vestido, de mediana
edad profesor, que trabaj en la universidad, justo en la calle de la
casa del seor Jones, procedente de la direccin de la ciudad.
Tena el pelo gris y gafas gruesas, y fue llevar un paraguas, un
peridico de la maana y una bolsa. Mr. Jones pens que deba de
haber llegado en el tren de noche y decidimos a pie de la
universidad en lugar de tomar un taxi.
Mr. Jones tuvo un gran rbol en su jardn, y los nios haban atado
un largo cuerda a una de sus ramas, de modo que pudieran pivotar
en l.
Mr. Jones se sorprendi al ver al profesor parar cuando vio la
cuerda, y mira con cuidado por todo el camino. Cuando vio que no
haba nadie a la vista, entr en el jardn (no haba valla), poner su
paraguas, peridico, bolsas y sombrero cuidadosamente sobre la
hierba y se mano de la cuerda. l lo tir con fuerza para ver si era lo
suficientemente fuerte como para tomar su peso, entonces corri
tan rpido como pudo y entr en el aire en el extremo de la cuerda,
el pelo gris soplando todo alrededor de su cara. Hacia atrs y hacia
delante se abri, de vez en cuando tomar un poco ms corriendo
pasos en la hierba cuando la cuerda empez a oscilar demasiado
lentamente para l.
Por fin, el profesor se detuvo, enderez la corbata, se pein
cuidadosamente, se puso el sombrero, cogi su paraguas, peridico
y la bolsa, y continu su camino a la universidad, buscando lo ms
tranquilo y correcto y respetable como era de esperar de un
profesor que sea.
