Please read María’s letter. Focus on the days of the week and activities María and her friends do on those days when they go out because that information will help you complete the next exercise.

This exercise aims to help you practice Spanish writing. You are supposed to write activities Maria and her friends do each day they go out. Note that the days of the week are NOT written with a capital letter.

1. lunes: María y sus amigos van al parque por las tardes los lunes. Después van a un café en el centro comercial y hablan.
(Maria and her friends go to the park in the afternoon on Mondays. Later, they go for a coffee in the shopping mall and talk.)

The most common verb to express action is the irregular verb ***ir** (to go.)* The subject in these sentences is “Maria and her friends,” so we used the third-person plural form of the verb *ir*, which is “van.”

2. jueves: María y sus amigos almuerzan en un restaurante pequeno pero muy bueno los jueves.
(Maria and her friends have breakfast in a small but really good restaurant on Thursdays.)

Notice stem-changing verb almorzar (to have lunch). “o” changed to “ue” and we got “alm**ue**rzan.”

3. viernes: María y sus amigos van al teatro los viernes.
(Maria and her friends go to the theater on Fridays.)

4. sábados: María y sus amigos van a un concierto de música rock los sábados.
(Maria and her friends go to a rock concert on Saturdays.)

5. domingos: María y sus amigos van al cine los domingos.
(Maria and her friends go to the movies on Sundays.)

Please see a more **detailed explanation.**

1. lunes: van al parque por las tardes;
2. jueves: almuerzan en un restaurante;
3. viernes: van al teatro;
4. sábados: van a un concierto;
5. domingos: van al cine.

In this exercise, you should give answers based on your liking. Use the following examples as a reference.

The first question reads:
Do you do the same activities Maria and her friends do?

– Sí, yo hago las actividades que hacen María y sus amigos. Por ejemplo, yo voy al cine y al parque con mis amigos los domingos. A veces mis amigos y yo vamos a un concierto.
(Yes, I do the activities Maria and her friends do. For example, I go to the movies and the park with my friends on Sundays. Sometimes, my friends and I go to a concert.)

– No, yo no hago las actividades que hacen María y sus amigos. A mí me gusta quedar en casa y descansar.
(No, I don’t do the activities Maria and her friends do. I like to stay at home and rest.

The second question reads:
Do you like to have lunch with your friends? What do you eat? Where?

– Sí, a mí me gusta almorzar con mis amigos. Mis amigos y yo comemos comida rápida como pizzas, hamburguesas y papas fritas. Nosotros comemos en un restaurante de comida rápida.
(Yes, I like to have lunch with my friends. My friends and I eat fast food like pizzas, hamburgers, and french fries. We eat in a fast-food restaurant.)

– No, a mí no me gusta almorzar con mis amigos porque siempre comemos comida rápida que no es nutritiva. A mí me gusta comer comida nutritiva como sopa, huevos y ensaladas. Yo como comida nutritiva en casa.
(No, I don’t like to have lunch with my friends because we always eat fast food that is not nutritious. I like to eat nutritious food like soup, eggs, and salads. I eat nutritious food at home.)
