Part 1
Carolus
et Maria in Hispāniā sunt. Ibi nūllōs amīcōs habent neque linguam
Hispāniae intellegunt. Multa et nōta loca huius terrae tamen vidēre cupiunt.
Iam laetitiam magnam sentiunt quod terra est tam pulchra. Ubīque in
arboribus sunt avēs. Caelum est semper clārum. Multa oppida parva
inter collēs cēlantur. In hīs oppidīs Americānī manēre cupiunt quod
ibi quiētem capere possunt. In oppidīs magnīs hominēs semper
properant. Semper excitātī sunt.
These
questions focus on basic understanding, concrete facts, and simple recall.
Read
the wording of the question carefully, and look for any words or phrases in the
question that are translations from the text itself and which ‘point’ to where
the answer is. Questions asking ‘why’ will often be after a conjunction such as
quod or quia (because).
If marks are given in brackets that gives you an idea of how many separate points of information are needed.
