1. In this example, we need to complete the phrase that is provided. We need to start by identifying the meaning of the phrase and then determine what must be done for the activity that is mentioned.
Here, the first part of the phrase states ‘to memorize the vocabulary’. Now, we decide what has to be done to achieve that.
In this case it makes sense that in order to memorize the vocabulary we need to repeat the words many times over. So, we will join the first part of the sentence already provided with:
…hay que repetir las palabras muchas veces.

1. Here, we need to use the table to write our class schedule, the names of the classes, and the class rules.
The class times that we can choose will be 8:00-9:00, 9:15-10:15, and 10:30-11:30. The names of the classes are math, history, and chemistry. The rules for the three classes are that you have to: use a pencil, bring a notebook, and wear a lab coat, respectively. You are not allowed to: text during the class, leave the classroom without permission, or arrive late to the class.
Now, we combine the information about the three classes and write descriptions that contain all the details we described in the first steps.
Tengo la clase de matemáticas de las 8 a las 9 de la mañana. Hay que usar un lápiz, y se prohíbe textear (chatear) con los amigos durante la clase.
Tengo la clase de historia de las 9:15 a las 10:15 de la mañana. Hay que llevar un cuaderno, y se prohíbe salir del aula sin pedirle permiso al profesor.
Tengo la clase de química de las 10:30 a las 11:30 de la mañana. Hay que llevar puesta la bata de laboratorio, y se prohíbe llegar tarde a la clase.
2. Here, you need to work with another student and talk about the rules in each of your classes. You’ll compare classes to see if you have the same rules and what you both think about the rules in each other’s classes.
We will use the descriptions from part 1 of the exercise as the statements by student A. Next, we will create responses by student B to the descriptions that are given.
The responses by student B can be the following (note that these are not the only possible answers and can be modified if you want to describe different things):
In my class we don’t have to use a pencil, and we shouldn’t text friends. They are practical rules, because that way we can pay more attention.
In my class we take notes on the computer and we don’t have to ask the teacher for permission to leave the classroom. I like the rules in my class better, because they are less strict and more efficient.
In my class we also wear lab coats and we’re not allowed to arrive late. The rules are good, because they keep the class orderly.
A: En la clase de matemáticas, hay que usar un lápiz. Se prohíbe textear (chatear) con los amigos durante la clase. ¿Qué piensas? B: En mi clase, no hay que usar un lápiz, pero no debes textear con los amigos. Son reglas prácticas, porque así podemos prestar más atención. 2. A: En la clase de historia, hay que llevar un cuaderno. Se prohíbe salir del aula sin pedirle permiso al profesor. ¿Qué piensas? B: En mi clase tomamos apuntes (notes) en la computadora, y no se tiene que pedirle permiso a la profesora para salir del aula. Me gustan más las reglas de mi clase, porque son menos estrictas y más eficientes. 3. A: En la clase de química, hay que llevar puesta la bata de laboratorio. Se prohíbe llegar tarde a la clase. ¿Qué piensas? B: En mi clase, también debemos llevar puestas las batas de laboratorio, y no debemos llegar tarde. Las reglas son buenas porque mantienen el orden en la clase.

1. Cada uno quiere decir que la educación es base fundamental de toda sociedad. Sin ella, no hay avances ni progreso.
Realidades 2 Capitulo 1 Answers Page 26
1. In this example, you need to name some activities that you like to do in class and others that you don’t. We can start by selecting activities for both categories. The answers may vary, but some possibilities for activities you do like could be: -do the homework for literature class -answer the teacher’s questions in math class
Some of the activities you don’t like could be: -wake up early to go to school -study late for the physics exam
To say that we like something in Spanish, we need to use the verb construction ‘gustarme’, which is conjugated in the following ways in the third person singular and plural, respectively: -me gusta -me gustan
Now, we’re ready to combine the four activities with the third person singular form of the verb gustar.
Me gusta hacer la tarea para la clase de literatura. Me gusta contestar las preguntas de la profesora en la clase de matemáticas. No me gusta despertarme temprano para ir a la escuela. No me gusta estudiar tarde para el examen de física.
2. In this example, you are asked what projects you do in your classes. We can start by making a list of classes that projects are done in: -math -history -computer science
Now, we can choose the types of projects that we do in each class and describe them with a brief sentence. -math: In math class I do projects with theorems -history: In history class I write reports and make speeches -computer science: In computer science class I write programs
En la clase de matemáticas hago proyectos con teoremas.
En la clase de historia, escribe informes y presento discursos.
En la clase de informática, escribo programas en la computadora.
3. In this example, you are asked which class rules you don’t like and why.
You start by choosing the rules that you don’t like: -asking permission to go to the lockers -turning my cellphone off during the class -using a pencil in math class
Next, you say why you don’t like those rules -because the teacher gets upset -because I might get an important message -because I like using pens
Now, you use the verb ‘gustar’ to make a list of each of the rules that you don’t like. The third person singular conjugation of the verb is ‘gusta’, and the negative form is ‘no me gusta’.
No me gusta pedir permiso para ir a los armarios, porque el profesor se enoja.
No me gusta apagar el teléfono celular, porque me puede llegar un mensaje importante.
No me gusta escribir con lápiz en la clase de matemáticas, porque me gusta usar plumas (bolígrafos in Spain)
4. In this example, you need to say what your favorite class this year is, what you have to do in the class, and what you aren’t allowed to do in the class.
The first step is the choose your favorite class. For example, we can choose chemistry. Next, you explain what you do in the class. For example, we have do experiments in the laboratory with many substances. Finally, you say what you can’t do in the class. For example, we can’t do anything dangerous or irresponsible in the lab.
The three verbs that we’ll be using in this example are: gustar: to like tener que: to have to prohibirse: to not be allowed
The correct conjugations the three verbs will be the third person singular, the first person plural, and the third person singular, respectively.
Mi clase favorita es la de química. En la clase de química, tenemos que hacer experimentos en el laboratorio con muchas sustancias. En la clase, se prohíbe hacer cosas peligrosas o irresponsables en el laboratorio.
5. In this example, you are asked if you always understand everything in class. Then, you are asked what you do if you don’t understand something.
To answer the first part of the question, you can say: 1. Yes, I usually understand everything or 2. No, I sometimes don’t understand everything.
For the second part of the question you can explain what you do when you don’t understand something. For example: I ask the teacher if they can repeat themselves or give another example.
Sí, normalmente entiendo todo en mis clases.
No, a veces no entiendo todo en mis clases. En esas ocasiones, pregunto al profesor si se puede repetir o si puede darme otro ejemplo.

5. In this example, we are asked to provide the word that best fills in the blank. Since we are using the stem-change verbs, we will choose one of these to complete the sentence.
First, the phrase reads: Mr Diaz usually _____ the instructions for the activities two or three times. The options that we have to choose from are the verbs ‘repetir’ and ‘querer’, which mean ‘to repeat’ and ‘to want’, respectively. In this case, it makes more sense that Mr Diaz would ‘repeat’.
Finally, the correct third person singular, present tense conjugation of the verb ‘repetir’ is the one that we will use in the blank, because the subject of the sentence is ‘Mr Diaz’.
repite
6. In this example, we are asked to provide the word that best fills in the blank. Since we are using the stem-change verbs, we will choose one of these to complete the sentence.
First, the phrase reads: Sometimes we don’t _____ the exercises in the book. The options that we have to choose from are the verbs ‘entender’ and ‘servir’, which mean ‘to understand’ and ‘to serve’, respectively. In this case, it makes more sense that we wouldn’t ‘understand’.
Finally, the correct first person plural, present tense conjugation of the verb ‘entender’ is the one that we will use in the blank, because the subject of the sentence is ‘we’.

7. In this example, we are asked to provide the word that best fills in the blank. Since we are using the stem-change verbs, we will choose one of these to complete the sentence.

1. In this exercise, you need to use the words and phrases in the box to write a paragraph about your classes, your classmates, your teachers, and what you do during a typical day at school.
We’ll start by separating the nouns from the verbs and the places, times, and activities. Nouns: -yo (I) -mi amigo(a) (my friend) -el(la) profesor(a) (the teacher) -nosotros (we) -las clases (the classes) -mis amigos (my friends)
Verbs, with the (first person singular, third person singular, third person plural, and second person plural) conjugations: -almorzar (almuerzo, almuerza, almuerzan, almorzamos) -empezar (empiezo, empieza, empiezan, empezamos) -(no) dormir (no duermo, no duerme, no duermen, no dormimos) -(no) entender (no entiendo, no entiende, no entienden, no entendemos) -preferir (prefiero, prefiere, prefieren, preferimos) -querer (quiero, quiere, quieren, queremos)
Places, times, and activities: -durante la clase (during the class) -en la cafetería (in the cafeteria) -en la clase de (in ___ class) -muy temprano (really early) -sacar buenas/malas notas (get good/bad grades)
Now, you need to choose one of each of the three parts of speech and use the provided conjugations to form sentences. You can combine the expressions however you like and join the sentences to form a paragraph. The following solutions are only some of the many combinations that are possible.
Yo almuerzo en la cafetería de la escuela. Mi amiga no duerme nunca en la clase de historia. El profesor prefiere explicar las cosas bien en la clase de física. Nosotros no entendemos porque sacamos malas notas en la clase de matemáticas. Las clases empiezan muy temprano algunos días pero no todos.
