Students can choose the topic of the conversation and can start and lead it as long as they appropriately interact, use the correct vocabulary, and at least 6 out of the 10 of the grammar concepts they learned during the first half of the semester. For each situation, students will have to be able to discuss some aspects or differences from their own culture of at least one of the Spanish speaking countries discussed during the first three lessons (United States, Canada, Spain & Ecuador). (Use united states please)
In order to better prepare for the examination, I strongly suggest you to come up with between five and ten questions related to the topic you want to discuss (covering the grammar points below). refrain as much as possible from writing them in English first. You can have an idea in English, but don't try to translate literally from English.
For example:
You may want to ask me where I come from. If you translate literally from the way you would ask in English, chances are you won't ask me the right question . On the other hand, in lesson 1, we learned from the Context and the video how to ask it correctly (¿De dónde eres?)
