Estudiante 1:
You’ve just met a person from Argentina, and you are trying to learn more about their hobbies and favorite activities.
- Introduce yourself, and ask their name.
- Say where you are from, and that you are a new student (un/a estudiante nuevo/a).
- Ask about their favorite hobbies and activities. Do not forget to ask them if they like to go to places like the beach, mountains, etc.

- Answer your classmate’s question, and set up a time and place to do what you are planning.
- Answer your classmate’s question, and say goodbye
Preparación comunicativa 3: ¿Qué haces en tus ratos libres?
La expresión “ratos libres” can be used instead of “tiempo libre”. You can use both expressions to talk about the activities you do/ you like to do in your free time.
Paso 1. How would you ask questions about what people do in their free time in Spanish? How about whether they like doing one thing or another? Use the Spanish you already know to create two questions to ask your participants.
Hint: Review days of the week and time expressions (por la mañana, etc.) to specify when people like to do different activities.
Paso 2. You will now collect your participants’ responses using the following tables.
Ask the questions you developed in Paso 1 (write your questions in the Pregunta boxes) and record their responses. Encourage them to give more than one answer by asking ¿Qué más?
| Compañeros de clase | Pregunta 1 | Pregunta 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | ||
| 2. | ||
| 3. | ||
| 4. | ||
| 5. |
Paso 3. Now it’s time to analyze your responses. What are some common trends you see in your data? Make a few notes.
Paso 4. Share the results of your research with two different classmates. ¡Usa el español!
- ¿Qué actividad es la más común en los dos grupos?
- ¿Qué actividad es la más común individualmente?
- ¿Son tus resultados similares a los resultados de tus compañer@s?
