I created a video to help you prepare for the real exam. The aim is for you to do the question paper as you listen to the recording. After each question, you will be able to mark your answers and read the transcript where I have highlighted the key information for you to know.

✂️ Remember that in the real exam you will have 5 minutes to read through the question paper and I deliberately have deleted this part.

USEFUL TIP

Question 10 a very good example of how the board checks your level of understanding. In question 10 Susana is leaving the job and giving a present to Lucas so you had to pay attention to “darte este regalo” from “dar” and not “recibir”.

In the following question Susana thanks Lucas for his help and company.

In question 11 you either needed to know that “Creo que haces bien” means I think you are doing the right thing. Or that “solicitar empleo” means to apply for a job. Therefore, both A and B are correct.

The last question was more challenging as you needed to know the words “amenazas” means “threats” and “huelga” means “strike”, to know that again A+B were correct.

I hope you find it useful. If you do, please don’t forget to like my Youtube video, subscribe, and share it with anyone who’s also preparing for their GCSE exam.

¡Buena suerte!
