What it is: You hear two people talk. For each sentence, tick who says it: one name, the other, or Ambos (both). 1 mark each.
The instruction on the paper: Marca [✓] una opción correcta para cada una de las siguientes frases. → Tick one correct option for each of the following sentences.

Example: ¿A quién se refiere?

Vas a escuchar a dos amigos, Ana y Luis, que hablan de las vacaciones.

  1. Fue a la montaña. A. Ana B. Luis C. Ambos
  2. Fue a la piscina. A. Ana B. Luis C. Ambos
  3. Tiene que estudiar mucho. A. Ana B. Luis C. Ambos

Ana: Luis, ¿qué tal las vacaciones? Luis: Genial. Fui a la montaña con mis padres. Hizo un frío increíble. Ana: Yo me quedé en la ciudad, pero fui a la piscina casi todos los días. Luis: ¡Qué envidia! Yo quería nadar, pero el lago estaba helado. Ana: Lo malo es que ahora tengo que estudiar mucho. Luis: Uf, yo también.

Ana: Luis, how were the holidays? Luis: Great. I went to the mountains with my parents. It was incredibly cold. Ana: I stayed in the city, but I went to the pool almost every day. Luis: I'm jealous! I wanted to swim, but the lake was frozen. Ana: The bad thing is that now I have to study a lot. Luis: Ugh, me too.
