La regla · The rule
A2 writing task one: fill a simple form (name, age, address, likes), then write a short description of yourself or your day — which is exactly the self-portraits you have written since Module 1.
Y también · And also
Count your words the exam way: every word counts, even el and a. Sixty to eighty words is about eight of your sentences.
Ojo · Watch out
el nombre is the FIRST name on a Spanish form and el apellido the last name — and most Spanish speakers carry two apellidos, one from each parent.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 7 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with el formulario.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 23 in Module 5 are the written half of this page.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
