Read the following passage and answer the question below:
Hola, soy Selena y mi clase favorita es matemáticas. El maestro de mi clase se llama Señor Triángulo. Señor Triángulo es cómico y simpático. En la clase de matemáticas necesito un papel, un lápiz y un libro grande.
Why does Selena like her math class?

Answer 1

a) Necesita un papel y un lápiz.

b) Necesita un lápiz y un libro grande.

c) El maestro se llama Señor Triángulo.

d) El maestro es cómico y simpático y es su clase favorita.

Answer 2

I am assuming that this is Spanish for Spanish Speakers, but I am going to translate it anyways:

Hi, my name is Selena and my favorite class is mathematics. My male teacher of math is named Mr. Triángulo. Mr. Triángulo is funny and sympathetic*. In math class, I need a pencil, a paper, and a big book.

Why does Selena like her math class?

a. She needs a paper and a pencil
b. She needs a pencil and a big book.
c. The teacher is named Mr. Triángulo
d. Mr. Triángulo is funn and sympathetic* and math is her favorite class

Now, do you think you would like a class just because you need a paper, a pencil, or a big book? I don't think so. Would you like a class if your teacher had a rare and funny name? I don't think so. So, D would be the proper answer because she likes math because the teacher is sympathetic* and funny, and because it is her favorite class.

So D.

*simpático generally means sympathetic, but is also often used as someone that is happy or joyful. I remember when I took Spanish class, everyone would just say happy instead of sympathetic.

BTW: I think I took this class. Is this Spanish for Spanish Speakers I with FLVS/OCVS? I took this class - the first and only one to take it actually, in 2012-2013 school year.

Answer 3

It's actually Spanish 1 for FLVS! Also thank you very much!!

Answer 4

Well, it's MNPSVS but we use the same curricular as FLVS.

Answer 5

Spanish I? I skipped that! I actually took Spanish for Spanish Speakers, which I think is a 12th Grade Class in 8th grade. So, because college looks for sequence, I had to take Spanish II, even though Spanish II is way too easy - I mean, I did the ultimate Spanish class in eigthth grade. Oh well. But if you evere need help, just ask. I am one of the people that are more active here. You can also ask @InYourHead - another person who is active here. You can also message. ;]

Answer 6

Ah, thank you! Also, wow that is very impressive. I'm terrible in Spanish, but I was worse in French, so I just stuck with Spanish. I've had Spanish classes since like 6th grade, but it was just basic stuff.

Answer 7

Well, it is always the best to learn the second most common language of your country - which in this case Spanish. My goal is that after I do Spanish III next year, I will do French, or at least something with latin roots like Spanish. I actually wanted to do Latin, but nobody speaks Latin, but if I learn Latin - which is very hard, it will be easier to learn languages with latin roots. But there is only Latin, French, and Chinese, so I'll go with french. Bonjour Madame.
