Read and choose the correct option. Buenas tardes, amigos. Mi nombre es Pedro y vivo en La Habana, Cuba. Yo viajo mucho por el mundo. Me gustan las gorras de los países. En Colombia, la gorra cuesta cuarenta pesos. En Guatemala, las gorras cuestan trescientos quetzales y en España, noventa y cinco euros. Cuando viajo a Argentina, una gorra cuesta cien pesos. Prefiero las gorras de Chile que cuestan cincuenta pesos chilenos. A mi mamá le encantan los vestidos. ¡Ella compra vestidos en México por trescientos pesos! What is the main idea? Pedro buys outfits for his mother. Pedro's hats match his mom's dresses. Pedro collects hats from his trips. Pedro spends more money on dresses.

jordangantt12:

Okay so what can you understand from the text?

Kyky232:

uhm... Something about moms dresses from mexico

jordangantt12:

yes that is the last sentence

jordangantt12:

But in the overall text he explains how he likes to travel the world and tells us the prices of caps from the places he visited.

jordangantt12:

So which option do you think would be correct?

Kyky232:

is it A?

jordangantt12:

No quite. If he mainly talks about caps which option talks about them?

Kyky232:

So its b or c.

jordangantt12:

Ok you are almost there. He only mentions dresses for his mom in one sentence at the end. Therefore the passage can't be about dresses.

Elsa213:

Good afternoon, friends. My name is Pedro and I live in La Habana, Cuba. I travel a lot through the world. I like the hats of the countries. In Colombia, the hats are $40. In Guatemala, the hats are 35 (their money, I dunno) and in Spain, 90 and 5 euros. When I vacation to Argentina, one hat costs $100. I prefer the hats from Chile which costs $50 (Chile money). My mom enjoys dresses. She buys dresses from Mexico for $35.

jordangantt12:

That should help a lot more

TWALKER16:

there now every one should know what happened

Kyky232:

Im still confused. Is it B or C?

Kyky232:

B right?

jordangantt12:

It cannot be B. if they only talk about dresses once.

jordangantt12:

Also they do not say that he buys the hats to match the dresses

Elsa213:

Only two sentences mention Pedro’s mother and dresses. The main idea is the main thing about the passage. Pedro doesn’t really focus on his mother until the end.

Kyky232:

So its C?

Elsa213:

I believe so. c:
