Spanish 5750 試験対策

よくあるミス

1. 1high影響する配点: 2AS 2 Listening

   Candidates answer Question 2 of the Listening paper, which requires English, using words lifted straight from the Spanish audio, or slip a Spanish word into an otherwise English answer.

   回避方法: Write the answer in full, natural English. If you cannot recall the English word, describe the idea in English rather than leaving a Spanish word in the sentence, because markers cannot credit an untranslated term.
2. 2high影響する配点: 20AS 3 Extended Writing

   In the AS 3 essay, candidates narrate the plot of the film or novel instead of answering the set question.

   回避方法: Treat each of the three bullet points as an argument to prove, not a scene to describe. Open each paragraph with a claim that answers the bullet, then support it with one or two specific details from the text.
3. 3high影響する配点: 1Verb tenses and accentuation

   Preterite and future verb endings lose their accents, durmio for durmió, iras for irás, and question words such as cuándo and cuál are written without their accent.

   回避方法: Check every verb ending and every question word for an accent before moving on to the next sentence. An unaccented preterite or future form is marked as an accuracy error even when the rest of the sentence is correct.
4. 4high影響する配点: 1AS 2 Reading comprehension

   In Sections B and C, a two-mark comprehension question is answered with only one of the two required details from the passage.

   回避方法: When a question is worth two marks, assume it wants two separate pieces of information. Reread the relevant sentence and check you have given two distinct facts, not one fact stated twice.
5. 5medium影響する配点: 1Pronouns

   Direct object pronouns (lo, la, los, las) are confused with the pronouns used after a preposition (él, ella, ellos, ellas) in pronoun-replacement exercises.

   回避方法: Before writing the sentence, work out what job the pronoun is doing. If it replaces the direct object of the verb it must be lo, la, los or las. If it follows a preposition such as con or para, it takes the prepositional form.
6. 6medium影響する配点: 1The subjunctive

   Students assume the subjunctive is only triggered by present-tense wishes or doubts, and miss it in temporal clauses about the future, such as cuando llegue or antes de que salga.

   回避方法: Learn the temporal conjunctions, cuando, antes de que, hasta que, en cuanto, as a fixed trigger list for the subjunctive whenever they refer to something that has not happened yet.
7. 7medium影響する配点: 1Interrogative pronouns

   Interrogative pronouns are chosen by habit rather than by what the question needs: qué is used where cuál is required, or quién where quiénes is needed for a plural subject.

   回避方法: Check what the question is asking for. Use cuál or cuáles when choosing from a set of options, qué before a noun or for a definition, and match quién or quiénes to a singular or plural subject.
8. 8medium影響する配点: 1Negation

   Negative words such as nadie, nada and ninguno are mixed up or placed in the wrong position in the sentence, especially in Section C transformation exercises.

   回避方法: Learn the three as a set: nadie for no one, nada for nothing, ninguno or ninguna for not any, agreeing with the noun. Put no before the verb unless the negative word itself comes first.
