=====OVERVIEW===== Chapter 39 Review of the story Repaso del Cuento Yesterday Ana was in her house and she wanted to practice and speak Spanish. There was a problem. The problem was that Ana wanted to practice and speak Spanish, but she didn't want to go to school because she didn't like school. Ana had a good idea. Good Ana's very good idea had three parts. In the first part of Ana's very good idea, she was going to watch TV. In the second part of Ana's idea, she was going to read a Spanish book. And in the third part of Ana's idea, she was going to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Very Good In the first part of Ana's idea, she was going to watch TV. Ana's mother was in her house also. Her mother didn't want to watch the program called News of the Day. Ana was going to watch the program alone. Oh no At 8:00 in the morning Ana watched TV. There was a program in Spanish on channel 34 on TV. Ana wanted to watch the program on channel 34 because the program was in Spanish. She wanted to understand Spanish, but she didn't want to go to school. Oh Ana watched TV in Spanish because she wanted to understand Spanish, but she didn't want to go to school. Ana watched the program, News of the Day, with great interest because she wanted to study, understand and speak Spanish . I understand In the first part of the program, News of the Day, there was a man who spoke very fast in Spanish. There was a big problem. Ana understood very little. She only understood 4 things. Oh no It's okay, Ana had other ideas to study, practice and speak Spanish. She was going to watch the second part of the program. Excellent Yes After the male reporter there was a woman in the program who also spoke Spanish. At 8:05 in the morning Ana watches the second part of the program. Oh The second part of the program was called What's the weather? Ana watches the second part of the program with a lot of interest again. I understand everything Fantastic, you understand everything. The voice of the reporter was saying, "Attention gentlemen, today it's very sunny and there are many pretty women in bikinis on the beach!" Oh At 8:10 Ana had no more interest in the program, News of the Day, and she didn't want to watch TV anymore. Oh no Yes, but after watching the TV, Ana wanted to read her Spanish book. Great! Ana had a Spanish book in her house. The Spanish book that Ana had in her house was big and red. Very Good The book was called, "Welcome: My house is your house." Ana wanted to read the book because Ana wanted to practice and study more Spanish. I understand Ana didn't know where her Spanish book was because she didn't have a very good memory. Oh no Fortunately, Ana's mother knew where the Spanish book was. Excellent Her mother said that the book was in her blue school backpack. Ana put her Spanish book on the kitchen table. Very Good The Spanish book had many pages. On the first page there was a photo of two men with hats at a Mexican restaurant. Excellent Those two men in that photo of that book that had different colored hats on their head were in a Mexican restaurant. Very Good The man in that photo on the first page that had a red, white and green hat was named Juan. Oh Juan drank a glass of water with his three fish tacos and a plate of rice and beans with lots of cheese. Yum The other man in the photo with Juan was called Paco. Paco was a friend of Juan. Paco's hat was black as night. I understand everything Great! You understood everything. Paco was eating a burrito, but it wasn't a normal burrito. Paco's burrito was a very big burrito. Yes, it was very big His burrito was as big as his hat, and also the color green like broccoli. I understand everything Great! You understood everything. Yesterday Ana saw a photo of two men that were eating at a Mexican restaurant, but she wanted to see other pages in her Spanish book also. I remember that When Ana looked at the other pages in the book, she wanted to read the words and phrases in Spanish. The problem was that Ana read many words and phrases in Spanish, but Ana didn't understand almost anything. Oh no Ana liked the photos in the book because the photos had many different colors. Also, the photos had many interesting people from Spain and Latin America. It’s very interesting Ana thought that the photos were very pretty. There was a part of the book that had a large group of photos. Ana liked the group of photos because that group of photos didn't have many words. I understand everything Very Good On page 36, Ana saw a photo of a family, and the family was from Puerto Rico. I remember that In the photo of the family on the island of Puerto Rico, It was very sunny. In the photo there was a mother and father, two brothers and a sister and a dog and a blue cat. I remember that also. Very good. Ana looked at all the pages of her book. In Ana's Spanish book with the title "Welcome: My house is your house," there were many photos of popular cities in other countries like Madrid in Spain and Buenos Aires in Argentina and many more other countries. Yes Also, there were photos of the typical food and historical sites from other countries in Latin America. Ana's book is very interesting. That's true. The problem was that Ana liked the photos in the book, "Welcome: my house is your house," but Ana didn't understand all the words in the book. Ana had an idea that could solve the problem. Excellent To solve the problem, Ana was going to cut out some of the photos from the book with some scissors. Ana wasn't going to cut out all the photos from the book. Ana is smart It's true, she's smart. Ana liked a few photos a lot, but she didn't understand all the words and she doesn't have time to cut out all the photos from the book. Oh no Yes Ana was going to cut out some of her favorite photos from the book with some scissors and after, she was going to put the book in the trash. Oh no Yes, but there was no problem. Ana had other ideas to learn Spanish . Yesterday, Ana practiced a lot of Spanish, but she understood almost nothing. Today is a new day for Ana. It’s very interesting Ana is not happy because yesterday she didn't learn much Spanish. Ana talks to her mother. Her mother talks about the benefits of school. Ana listens to her mother for a long time. After listening for a long time, finally, Ana decides to go back to school. I understand Ana doesn't want to go to school because she doesn't like going to school, but she believes that the best idea is to find her materials for school and go to school to take a Spanish class. Ana finds her pencils and her papers and puts them in her backpack. I remember that Before leaving to school Ana says goodbye to her mother. When Ana tells her "goodbye," her mother is eating a sandwich at the kitchen table. Her mother tells Ana something important. She tells Ana, "Wait a minute, first I'll make you a sandwich for lunch" I understand everything Very Good Ana waits in the kitchen while her mother prepares her a sandwich for lunch. Her mother gives her the sandwich and also gives her a kiss. Ana takes the sandwich and puts it in her backpack. Excellent She tells her mother that she will return home later. She carries all her things in her backpack, and she goes to school in her old light blue car. Very Good She leaves her house at 9 in the morning to go to school in her car. While she drives to school, Ana passes by the Mexican restaurant, "Captain Good Life". Very Good While Ana passes by the restaurant, she sees a tall boy and a group of people that enter into the restaurant. Ana recalls her experience from yesterday at the restaurant. Do you understand? Of course, I understand everything Excellent Yesterday, when Ana cut out the photo of the friends, Juan and Paco from the first page of the book, she looked at the food that the two men were eating at the Mexican restaurant. She had another idea to practice her Spanish. Ana was going to go to a Mexican restaurant to eat typical food of Mexico and also to practice her Spanish with people in the restaurant. Do you remember? Yes, I remember everything Fantastic! While Ana passes by the Mexican restaurant, Captain Good Life, she remembers her experience at that restaurant yesterday. Let's go with her while she remembers her experience at that restaurant.Let's go with Ana to the Mexican restaurant, Captain Good Life, to eat typical food of Mexico and also to study, understand, speak and practice more Spanish. Good, it's an excellent idea. I want to practice more Spanish! Ana was in her house and she was hungry. Ana wanted to eat at a Mexican restaurant because she wanted to speak Spanish with the people in the restaurant also. Ana wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant because she wanted to eat and also to speak Spanish with the people in the restaurant. Very good, I understand everything Excellent Ana needed a car to go to the Mexican restaurant. Fortunately, Ana had an old light blue car. Ana went to the Mexican restaurant in her car. Ana wanted to arrive at the restaurant at twelve o'clock. At twelve o’clock in the afternoon Ana arrived at the Mexican restaurant in her car. Ana arrived at the restaurant at twelve o'clock in her old light blue car. Oh When Ana arrived at the Mexican restaurant in her old light blue car, she saw the door of the restaurant. The restaurant was called, Captain Good Life, and it was a new restaurant. When Ana arrived at the new restaurant, she walked quickly from her old light blue car to the door of the restaurant. Ana walked quickly from her old light blue car to the door of the restaurant because she was very hungry, and also she wanted to practice her Spanish with the people in the restaurant. Do you understand? Yes, I understand Ana practiced the phrase "Hello, How are you?" five times when she walked quickly from her car to the door of the restaurant. Ana wants to say the phrase, "Hello, How are you?" to the first person she sees in the restaurant. Oh In the restaurant yesterday, there was a man with a big hat on his head and he had a menu in his hand. He was the first person that Ana saw in the restaurant. Fortunately, the man with the big hat on his head that had a menu in his hand was the waiter and he spoke first because Ana didn't say anything. Ana didn't say a word. Poor Ana The waiter said, "Hello, Welcome to the Restaurant Captain Good Life, my boat is your boat, How are you?" When the waiter said, "Hello, Welcome to the Restaurant Captain Good Life, my boat is your boat, How are you?" Ana understood all of the waiter's sentence. Ana was happy, and Ana was able to answer. Ana replied to the waiter with another sentence. When the waiter said to Ana, "Hello, welcome, to the Restaurant Captain Good Life, my boat is your boat, how are you?" Fortunately, Ana replied to the waiter with the phrase, "Good thanks, and you?" Oh When Ana told the waiter, "Good thanks, and you?" the waiter replied to Ana, "Very well, thank you." The waiter walked with Ana to a table. It was 12 noon and it was time to eat lunch. Lunch is the meal at mid day. They walked to a table in the restaurant . I remember all that It was time to eat lunch when they walked to a table in the restaurant. It was twelve noon when Ana and the waiter walked to the table in the restaurant called, Captain Good Life. Very Good Ana arrived at a table in the middle of the restaurant, but when she arrived at the table, Ana saw that there was a problem. Oh no Yes, but do not worry. In the restaurant yesterday there was a problem. The problem was that there wasn't anyone in the restaurant except the waiter and Ana. Ana wanted to practice her Spanish with everyone in the restaurant, but only the waiter with the big hat was in the restaurant. There wasn't anyone else in the restaurant called "Captain Good Life." Poor Ana Ana sat in a chair. When Ana sat in the chair, the waiter gave Ana the menu. I understand, Ana had the menu in her hand. Excellent, it's true, Ana had it in her hand. The menu that Ana had in her hand was the lunch menu. Ana looked at the pictures in the menu and also she read the words on the menu. Very Good Ana Yes Ana could read the menu because the menu wasn't a book. The menu from the restaurant, Captain Good Life, was easy to read. I understand everything Perfect It was easy to read the menu because the menu wasn't a book. The menu had many pictures and also had words of the typical food from Mexico. Those words were easy to read. Great! Ana was very hungry yesterday when she arrived at the restaurant. Ana said to the waiter that she wanted to eat one chicken taco and another taco with beans, white cheese and tomatoes. Ana wanted so much food because she was very hungry. I remember that Also, Ana wanted to drink a glass of tea with lemon. Ana told the waiter that she wanted a tea with lemon. Ana quickly read the menu one more time, but she didn't want anything else. I remember all that also. The waiter replied quickly to Ana, "Very good, one chicken taco and a taco with beans, white cheese and tomatoes and a glass of tea with lemon. Is that all or do you want something else?" The waiter said it very fast. Oh no Ana didn't respond to the waiter because she didn't understand the waiter. The waiter wanted the menu. Ana gave the menu to the waiter. I understand everything Very Good The waiter walked to the kitchen. There were no other people in the new Mexican restaurant, and Ana was alone. Poor Ana After 10 minutes the waiter came to the table with a large plate in one hand and a glass of tea with lemon in the other hand. He put the plate with the 2 tacos on the table. Yum Ana saw that one of the tacos was of chicken and the other was of beans, white cheese and tomatoes. Also, the waiter put the glass of tea with lemon on the table. Ana said, "Thank you," to the waiter and the waiter replied to Ana with the words, "You're welcome." I remember all that Fantastic! Ana ate the two tacos and drank her tea with lemon. The food was delicious. Ana ate up all the food and drank up all the tea. Ana wasn't hungry anymore. The waiter was in the kitchen, but Ana wanted to pay and go home. Oh After 5 minutes, the waiter arrived at the table. Ana asked for the bill. Ana said to the waiter that she wasn't hungry anymore and that she wanted to pay and go house. The waiter gave her the bill and told her that she had to pay 7 dollars. I remember all that also Excellent Ana put a 10 dollar bill on the table and she said to the waiter, "Thank you." Ana walked to her old light blue car. Ana wasn't very happy because she wanted to study, understand, speak and practice more. Do you understand? Yes, I understand everything Fantastic, you understood everything. Now, Let’s continue with Ana’s story while she goes to school and continues practicing, learning and speaking much more Spanish. Excellent, let's go! Ana left from her home at 9 in the morning in her old light blue car. She passed by the Mexican restaurant and remembered about her experience from yesterday at the restaurant. Very Good After 30 minutes by car, Ana arrives at school. Ana believes that the university is far from her house, and that one needs a lot of time in order to get to school. She gets out of her car and walks towards the building where she thought her Spanish class should be. While she's walking, Ana hears music. The music that Ana hears has a Latin rhythm. Great, I like Latin music. Good, Ana also likes Latin music. The Sound of the music is very peculiar. The music is from a guitar but it's not a normal guitar. It's a special guitar. Ana listens to the music but doesn't know who is playing the special guitar because she doesn't see anyone with a guitar. Oh no While Ana was listening to the sound of music, she remembered that she had her Spanish class and realized she didn't have her backpack. Oh no Yes, there was a problem. While Ana was listening to the sound of the music, she remembered that she had her Spanish class and realized she didn't have her backpack. Everything was still in her car. Oh no She thinks it's important to be prepared and she decides to return to her car for her things . She returns to her car and finds her backpack in her car with the materials. When Ana arrives at the car, she changes her mind. She decides that her blue backpack is very large and doesn't want to carry it. I understand Instead of carrying her blue backpack, Ana decides to put her materials in her pink purse and leave the backpack in the car. She takes the pink purse from her car and carries it to class. Great! While she walks back to the building of the Spanish class, Ana tries to listen for the music again. This time, Ana can't hear anything. There isn't the peculiar sound of the guitar playing the Latin rhythm. Ana decides to continue walking and looking for her Spanish class. I remember that also Very Good She thought that the Spanish class was in the same building where it was before. She sees a door with the number 222. She thought it was the right class. A child comes out of the door and is talking on the phone. I understand everything Excellent Ana sees the little boy and thinks that it's strange because the boy is only 12 years old and doesn't seem to be a university student. She is 18 and also the majority of university students are 18 years of age or older. That’s very strange Yes She says, "Hello" to the child, but he looked surprised. He says, "Hello" in Spanish to Ana and he leaves the class walking very quickly. Ana hears the child say other words in Spanish and also hears the child say the name, Carlos. I understood all that Super!
