Contents

  1. 1Part 2 and Part 3
  2. 2How to develop an answer
From the book to the world: After your presentation come two conversations: first about the extract, then about the world.

Part 2: the extract

  • Questions on the extract you presented
  • Why a character acts as they do
  • Evidence: quotations from the extract
  • Marked on B2 and C

Part 3: the world

  • One or more of the five themes
  • Your opinions and your life
  • Evidence: real examples from the Spanish-speaking world
  • Marked on B2 and C
Part 3 is not more Part 2: When the teacher says hablando de…, leave the book. Don't retell the plot in Part 3: talk about the world.

Never stop at sí or no: A one-word answer makes the teacher do the work. Build every answer with three moves.

Three moves

1

Answer and justify

En parte, sí, porque…

2

Prove it

A quotation in Part 2, a real example in Part 3: por ejemplo, mi primo…

3

Add a nuance

Sin embargo… or depende de…

Answer → prove → nuance

Didn't understand? Ask: Perdone, ¿podría reformular la pregunta? That is interaction (C), not weakness. Guessing costs more.
