Composición #3
Mi opinión de los deportes
With a topic titled "My Opinion on Sports", I want you to write as much as as your basic Spanish 1 skills allow about athletics (i.e., identify, provide cultural background/popularity, describe your personal interest and ability, etc.).
You are asked to use the vocabulary from Chapter 5 (pp.162-163 and pp. 166-167), as well as the complementary grammar lessons (pp.170-171, p.172, and p.175), as a base (you may venture further, so therefore don't forget to incorporate the things you learned from the preliminary lessons up to the present, as well as the Cultural Lessons on pp.180 & 182) to prepare a typed, three paragraph, one-page composition in Spanish. It will likely be about three-quarters of a page of written material, not counting the header and title at the top.
In your introductory paragraph, talk about the different athletic opportunities available to you at SSFS. Think about organizing it into the different seasons, as a way to expand your written expression. What is required of students in terms of participation in athletics at SSFS? Are there any teams you like? Why or why not?
In your body paragraph, tell me what interests you and what you like versus what does not interest you and what you do not like. Using good and several descriptors, explain in each case why you feel this way. Elaborate.
In your concluding paragraph, start by telling me what it is you want to do athletically and why. Then use some of the expressions with the infinitive learned in Chapter 4 (e.g., tener que, ir a) to describe what you are going to play in the future and what you have to do to meet this goal.
