People watch from behind barriers and bunting hangs across the street (Las Fallas).
Photo 1
An older couple in traditional Madrid dress dancing in a sunny square: she wears a white headscarf with red carnations, a fringed white shawl and a long red skirt; he wears a flat cap, a white shirt and a dark waistcoat. A crowd behind them watches and films with their phones (San Isidro festival).

Your teacher says "Háblame de las fotos." Talk about both photos, then an unprepared conversation on the card's theme.

  • Role-play: each message conveyed without ambiguity; perfect Spanish isn't required.
  • Conversation (communication): quite a lot of information, with regular good development of answers.
  • Conversation (language): a good variety of vocabulary and structures.
