Reading with comprehension.
Read the text twice carefully. Pay attention to who the grammatical subjects are. Then answer the questions according to the information found in the text. Below, you will find an analysis of each question. You may refer to these analyses for further guidance.
You will find a sentence about Rafael in the first line. Specifically, it says the he is blond, and later on in the text, it says the the blond person is very lazy, serious and a bit mean. Thus, all of these descriptions refer to the same person.
Rafael es rubio. También es un muy perezoso, serio y un poco malo.
In the second row, you will find a description of Laura and Raquel.
Laura y Raquel son muy altas y tienen el pelo castaño. También son muy inteligentes.
You have already answered this question earlier, when you described Rafael. Once again, the blond person is Rafael, and it says that the blond person is very lazy.
No, Rafael no es trabajador. Es muy perezoso.
The objective of this exercise is to practise writing in Spanish.
Again, you are presented with a series of personal questions. They all address a current or permanent condition, which means that you will respond in the present tense.
The first question is about yourself. Respond using all applicable vocabulary that you have learned.
The last two questions are yes-or-no questions, however respond in full sentences. Since these are personal questions, only use the below examples as a reference of how your responses might look like.
1. Soy un chico alto y rubio con los ojos azules. Soy atlético y trabajador. También me gusta mirar películas y leer libros.
2.A. Sí, me gustan las personas rubias.
2.B. No, no me gustan las personas rubias.
3.A. Sí, me gustan las personas altas.
3.B. No, no me gustan las personas altas.
