Easy fixes: These three slips are common in literary orals. Each has a simple fix.
Dilo así
- **La obra trata de la emigración.**
- **Como dice el narrador…**
- **Es posible que el autor quiera…**
Evita esto
- La obra es sobre… (copied from English)
- El autor dice… when a narrator tells the story
- Es posible que el autor quiere… (needs the subjunctive)
Fill silences in Spanish: A ver, pues and bueno sound natural. Um or English words do not.
