I. Reading and Comprehension (Engish into Spanish Skills Comprehension)
Read the following article and answer the questions carefully:
Year after year there are thousands of people in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol on
the 31st of December to celebrate the end of the old year and the beginning
of the new. As midnight approaches, crowds of enthusiastic Spaniards begin
to gather in this place. They wear scarves and overcoats because of the cold
and they bring bottles of champagne and a bunch of twelve grapes to keep
time with each chime from the bell of the big clock in the square. The Puerta
del Sol is unique on nights like this. So many people together -no friend and
foreing division as in sports competitions- with one single idea in mind: to
have a great time. The occasion is exceptional: the old year goes out and the
new year comes in only once a year. Children are happy because there is no
school at this time and there are also lots of toys. Family members come
from different places to be together for the celebrations.
SPAIN IS DIFFERENT!

II. Read the following article and translate from English into Spanish: (20 puntos)
Can you imagine the number of times a day people say or hear or need “have”? In the morning you have a
shower. If you don’t have a shower, you have a bath. Afterwards you have breakfast and take the train to
work. If you don’t have a seat, you have to stand. If you have a newspaper, you read it, but if you haven’t, you
have a glimpse at your neighbour’s paper. The problem is that, just when you are interested, he turns over
the page and you haven’t time to find out the end of the story.
When the train arrives late, you have no time for that quick cup of coffee you usually have in the cafe next to
Central Station. At the office the telephonist has several messages and the boss has a long face. Finally, at
lunchtime you have a break but again in the evening you have a lot of work. It you don’t have time to finish
everything the boss is angry but you remind him you have a train to catch.
At home you have dinner but you don’t have time to watch your favourite TV programme because you have
work from the office to finish. Finally, after having a day like this, when you get to bed you hope you don’t
have a nightmare!
