ATENCIÓN: ¡El tercer email es el correcto!

Hi!

Vais a encontrar en vuestro correo TRES emails míos con la pista de audio para poder hacer el listening que os entregué en clase. ¿Por qué tres? Porque el primero fue un error (me avisó una compañera de clase), y el segundo fue el mismo error (por una confusión mía en la denominación de mis archivos). Así que recordad que EL TERCER MENSAJE CONTIENE LA PISTA DE AUDIO CORRECTA. 

I´m so sorry!!
