1 – Decide which of the above statements/points of view are against or in favour of TV. Fill in each box,
where LO BUENO DE LA TELE ES QUE… is for ideas in favour and LO MALO DE LA TELE ES QUE…. is for
ideas against TV. If you come across with more ideas in favour or agaisnt TV, write your ideas also in the
box.
LO BUENO DE LA TELE ES QUE…
Es gratuita
LO MALO DE LA TELE ES QUE…
2 – In the essay and in the oral exam, it is important that you always expand your ideas. You can expand
your ideas by giving an example, a reason or a consequence. It is important that when you introduce an
example, a reason or a consequence, you use a linking word. To introduce a reason, use PORQUE. To
introduce an example, use POR EJEMPLO. To introduce a consequence, use EN CONSECUENCIA.
Pick up 3 ideas from exercise 1 and expand them. We have done one as an example.
La tele es violenta
porque en algunos
programas uno puede
ver sangre o puede ver
a hombres que se están
peleando
Por ejemplo, en el
telediario vi los cuerpos
sin vida de personas
que murieron en un
ataque terrorista
En consecuencia, si los
niños ven esto, pueden
tener pesadillas.
3 – In the previous worksheet, we saw how to express what I like in Spanish. You can also talk about
what some other people like or what you and your best friend like.
If you remember, we saw that I like is translated as: A mí me gusta or A mí me gustan
If you want to say what somebody else likes, you will say: A él le gusta or A él le gustan (if this somebody is a man)
and A ella le gusta or A ella le gustan (if this is somebody is a female).
If you want to say what people in general like, you will say: A la gente le gusta or A la gente le gustan
If you want to say what they like, you will say: A ellos les gusta or A ellos les gustan
If you want to say what you and someone else like, you will say: A mí y a xxxxxx nos gusta or A mí y a xxxx nos gustan
Now translate these sentences into Spanish:
People like to watch TV at night ______________________________________________________________________________
Laura and Tom like chocolate ________________________________________________________________________________
I and my friends like playing football and eating strawberries ______________________________________________________
My husband likes dogs and rabbits ___________________________________________________________________________
