Hola a todos
Aquí está la información sobre nuestro examen la próxima semana.
The format is similar to Examen I. It is all inclusive, although the emphasis will be on lessons 4 and 5.
students that can expect to:
A) Fill in the blanks in situations where they have to:
1. Conjugate verbs in the present tense within given contexts [remember all the irregulars and stem changers]. The infinitives to be conjugated may be given in either English or Spanish. [Ellos (to fly) ___________ a Cancún esta noche].
2. Use the present progressive.
3. Use tener expressions in context.
4. Use comparative forms.
5. Complete sentences with appropriate vocabulary, or come up with the appropriate term based on a short definition:
Mi hermana no es morena, es ________.
Comer por la tarde es ______________.
B) Write short paragraphs or dialogues based on situation-like topics. Students can expect to write on two topics similar to those that appear in the Qué dice Ud. sections at the end of each lesson [see for example p 116 and 144]. 30 to 40 words per topic is expected. This part will account for about 30 to 35% of the exam.
C) Translate into Spanish. This section is text-specific and comprises the translation into Spanish of short situations or paragraphs similar to those we practice in class [with Practica de Traduccion]. This section is all inclusive in terms of vocab and structures and will account for about 35 to 40% of the exam..
