For this exercise we must see the images and describe what each person / persons does.

We will need to remember the vocabulary from this chapter about interests.

We will go from left to right, starting with the image at the top right.

1. In this image we can see several photos and a hand holding one of them. For this reason we can think that the activity he/she is doing is creating an album.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| Crear un álbum. | To create an album. |

2. This image is of an old lady sitting on a chair knitting. That is an activity that people of that age tend to like.

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
|Tejer. |To knit. |

3. This is a very clear image of a young man playing the guitar. That is the activity that he is doing.

| Spanish|English |
|–|–|
|Tocar la guitarra. |To play the guitar. |

4. If we see this image we can see two men working on cars. As they have the car open, we can assume that they are reviewing it and doing mechanics.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| Trabajar en mecánica.|To work on cars. |

5. In this case we can clearly see the image of a crossword. This person’s activity would be doing crossword puzzles.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| Hacer crucigramas. | To do crossword puzzles. |

6. In this last image we can see two friends, meeting in what appears to be an Internet cafe due to the computers.

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
| Reunirse en un café Internet. |To meet in an Internet cafe. |

You should ask the question using the appropriate phrase in spanish for each example given.

1) Elena, ¿estás interesada en aprender a tejer?
2) Estoy más interesado en jugar a las cartas.
3) Miguel pasa mucho tiempo corriendo.
4) Tomás, ¿cuánto tiempo llevas practicando artes marciales?

In this exercise we must think and write sentences that make sense with the answers already written.

1. The answer says: *No, I am not interested in painting.*

In this case we can see that the person responds that he has no interest in painting, so the question must be related to this activity. Let’s see some examples:

|English |Spanish |
|–|–|
| ¿Te interesa pintar? | Are you interested in painting? |
|¿Te gustaría ir a una clase de pintura? |Would you like to go to a painting class? |

2. This answer says: *Yes, but my pet gets tired very quickly.*

The question in this case should be related to an activity that can be done with pets, something that can be done for a while until the pet gets tired. Let’s see some examples:

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
|¿Te gusta caminar con tu mascota? |Do you like to walk with your pet? |
|¿Te gusta jugar con tu mascota? |Do you like to play with your pet? |

3. This answer says: *No, I prefer to learn how to do computer design.*

In this case, since the answer says that the person is not interested in what is being asked but prefers to learn to do computer design, we can think that the question is directed to if he/she would like to learn to do some activity. Let’s see an example:

| Spanish| English|
|–|–|
|¿Te interesa aprender a pintar? | Are you interested in learning to paint? |
|¿Te gustaría tomar clases de guitarra? | Would you like to take guitar lessons? |

4. This answer says: *Yes. I am going to create an album with my entire collection.*

In this case the person is stating that he/she collects something and that he/she will make an album with his/her collection. Therefore, the question must be if he/she likes to collect something. Let’s see some examples using the vocabulary from the chapter:

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| ¿Te gusta coleccionar estampillas? | Do you like to collect stamps? |
|¿Te gusta coleccionar pósters? |Do you like to collect posters? |

5. This answer says: *No, we prefer to meet in an Internet cafe.*

In this case, the question should be oriented to whether the person likes to meet in a certain place, since the answer denies it and says that they prefer to meet in an Internet cafe. Let’s see an example:

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
|¿Te gusta reunirte con tus amigos en la casa? | Do you like to meet your friends at home?|

6. This answer says: *Yes, but crosswords in Spanish are difficult.*

The question should refer to whether the person likes to do crossword puzzles, since the person answers yes but that in Spanish they are difficult.

|Spanish |English |
|–|–|
| ¿Te gusta hacer crucigramas? | Do you like to do crosswords? |
|¿Te interesa hacer crucigramas en español? | Are you interested in doing crosswords in Spanish?|
