IV. Para Escribir
Write the first draft of a composition of two or three paragraphs about the Ruiz family in Seville.  You may wish to answer some of these questons:  How many members does the family have?  What are their names?  Where do they live?  What does each family member do?  Why does Raquel need to talk with them?  Add any other information you want, but pay attention to the structure of the composition.  Use whatever time you have left to check for and correct gender agreement and subject and verb agreement. (30 puntos)

[Helpful Hints:  Do not write out your composition at home and try to memorize it.  Instead you should try to think about the Spanish words you know and which terms and expressions you will use in this composition.  You may want to memorize one or two words, guía turístico for example, to tell what Miguel (padre) does.  Be sure to write enough to make the composition worth 30 points - that is nearly 1/3 of the test score.  When you have completed your composition on the test, go back through methodically looking for the subject first then checking the verb for agreement, etc.]

Write the first draft of a composition of two or three paragraphs about the men Taquel has met on her trip so far.  You should focus on only the important ones and mention how they relate to the story and what additional information they give to Raquel.  You will probbably want to discuss them in chrono-logical order and perhaps expand a bit on the most important subject.  With the time you have left, check your style and try to make it flow more smoothly by adding words that connect phrases.

It is too much work and will not produce a satisfactory product for you. Definitely do not write it in English and then translate it to Spanish!]
