Exercise 1
Step 1

In this question you are asked to say whether or not you enjoy doing the things that are pictured. Since these answers will be subjective, you will be given tips to answer both affirmatively and negatively. The first picture shows someone riding a bicycle.
Step 2
2 of 3
On page 82, you were given the phrase *montar en bicicleta*, meaning “to ride a bicycle”. You’ll see the proper sentence construction in the *modelo* at the beginning of the exercise: *(no) me gusta* followed by the activity. You won’t need to worry about changing the form of *gustar* in this exercise since you’re always answering for yourself (using “I”).

On page 82, you can see the phrase *hacer ejercicio* next to someone running. If you look ahead to the vocabulary review on page 111, you’ll see that *hacer ejercicio* means “to exercise”. Now that we know how to say the thing we’re being asked about, we can move on to constructing the sentence.
Step 3

As per the example, we will use *me gusta* (the *yo* form of *gustar*), followed by *hacer ejercicio*. To negate the sentence, simply add *no* before it.

Step 3
3 of 4
To construct the sentence, use the *yo* form of *gustar* (*me gusta*), followed by the thing you like (or don’t like); in this case, *ver televisión*. If you don’t like watching television, be sure to preface the sentence with *no*.

Step 2
2 of 4
On page 82, you can see that someone reading is labeled *leer las revistas y las novelas*. If you look ahead to the vocabulary review on page 111, you can look up *leer*, *las revistas* and *las novelas*, and see that they mean “to read”, “magazines”, and “novels”, respectively. Since we don’t know what the boy in the picture is reading, we can just use the generic *leer* in this instance.
Step 3
3 of 4
Using the *yo* form of *gustar* (*me gusta*), we can construct our sentence. We’ll follow the *yo* form of *gustar* with our activity in question, *leer*. If you don’t like reading, you should preface the sentence with *no*.
Result

Me gusta leer/no me gusta leer.
