Viaje a Sevilla (adaptado de Lingua) Soy Iván, estudiante de bachillerato en un instituto de Madrid. Hace una semana estuve de viaje en Sevilla con unos amigos. Quisimos ir porque nos gusta mucho el sur de España. La gente es muy agradable y hospitalaria. Sevilla es una de las ciudades más bonitas de España y de Europa. Sus monumentos más famosos son la Giralda, La Catedral y la Torre del Oro. La Giralda está situada junto (next to) a la Catedral. Es una torre muy alta, y sus alrededores siempre están llenos (filled) de turistas que toman fotografías. El río Guadalquivir atraviesa la ciudad. Hay excursiones guiadas en barco (ship) durante una hora. Desde el barco vimos una hermosa (beautiful) panorámica de la Torre del Oro. También pasamos por debajo de enormes puentes. Para mí el puente (bridge) más hermoso de Sevilla es el Puente de Triana, que se llama así porque está en el barrio (neighborhood) del mismo nombre. Es un barrio donde proceden muchos artistas sevillanos, sobre todo, cantantes de flamenco y folclore español. Las chicas son muy guapas y simpáticas. Conocimos a tres chicas en la calle Sierpes, una de las calles más animadas de la ciudad. Por la noche fuimos con ellas a la discoteca a bailar. A mí me gustó especialmente Carmen. Ella me dejó su número de teléfono y hablamos a menudo. Estoy deseando volver a Sevilla. 1.¿Cómo es la gente del sur de España? 2.¿Dónde se encuentra la Giralda? 3. ¿Cuál es el puente de Sevilla que le gusta a Iván? 4.¿Con quién habla a menudo por teléfono Iván?

  Adapted from Donquijote.org DESPUÉS DEL ALMUERZO (Lunch)  La siesta española (que significa “siesta”) es una tradición que todos conocen pero que pocas personas ponen en práctica. En España, el almuerzo es la comida más importante del día. Como los españoles no se toman en serio el desayuno (toman cafe y un postre y la cena suele ser algo ligera (light) al fin del día, la gente tiende a comer mucho a la hora de comer. Después de una comida abundante, gran parte de la sangre (blood) va al estómago para ayudar (to help) con la digestión. Esto significa que hay menos flujo de sangre a tu cerebro y comienzas (you begin) a sentirte somnoliento y cansado. (¿Alguna vez oiste de un coma alimentario (food coma)?) Esto, también el hecho de que España tiene altas temperaturas al mediodía, especialmente en verano (summer), hace que realizar cualquier tipo de trabajo o actividad, ya sea mental o física, sea difícil. Estos factores explican por qué una de las muchas costumbres (customs)  españolas consiste en dormir la siesta después de comer. Esto significa que las  tiendas cierran (close) entre las 2 y las 4 p. m. para que los empleados puedan irse a casa, comer y descansar (rest) del trabajo durante la parte más calurosa (hot) del día. Los españoles están acostumbrados a que la ciudad se detenga durante unas horas al mediodía, los extranjeros frecuentemente encuentran frustrante la hora de la siesta porque tipicamente no pueden ir de compras. 1. ¿Qué comida es la comida más importante en España? 2. ¿A qué horas cierran las tiendas en la siesta?

Ensure your entire workspace remains visible and is facing the camera for the duration of the exam. How To: Show Your Workspace During Honorlock Assessments     What do we mean by the workspace? The area in front of you between yourself and your computer. Your hands, tabletop, and your sitting area. External materials that your professor will be allowing you to use on the exam. Include items such as paper, writing tools, whiteboards, calculators, or notes if they are allowed. Do This: Provide 3 to 4 feet between you and your computer’s webcam to enable a larger view space. Put your workspace and computer on the same flat surface. Try out different setups ahead of time to ensure you are comfortable with your seating and the placement of your workspace. Before starting your exam, check your webcam feed to keep track of how well your workspace is displayed. All work done in the workspace should be fully visible in your webcam’s feed during the test (Examples: Crunching numbers on the calculator, writing out formulas, or looking over notes if allowed during the exam).    Don’t place any item to the side or out of the view of the webcam and your instructor at any time!    Room scans Must clearly show your workspace, desk or tabletop, and general surrounding area. Your professor needs a good picture of this entire area and all items within your reach. Stand up and put some distance between you and the workspace. Hold the camera still on your workspace for at least 10 seconds, then continue your room scan of the entire area. Always move your camera slowly around your room. Blurry room scans are not acceptable!    If you cannot meet these requirements at home, please visit CSU Online Test Proctoring Resources to identify on-campus resources available to you!    How can you show your workspace? Laptop computers will often have built-in webcams that are not movable, and sometimes auxiliary webcams may be difficult to adjust as well. This situation can be problematic when you need to make adjustments to show both your face and your workspace. The solution to this is to put some distance between yourself and the webcam.   As seen in the above picture, an ideal distance would be 3 to 4 feet between you and your computer’s webcam. This distance will help ensure that your webcam has a broader view of yourself and your workspace, allowing both to be easily visible during your exam session.     You should still be able to read your exam at this distance while working out the math or reviewing any notes you may have. Make sure to try out different setups ahead of time to ensure you are comfortable with your seating and the placement of your workspace.     Proctored exams are proctored for a reason – your professor wishes to test your understanding and learning in the course. The requirements and expectations they set for your proctored exams help them to assess your exam performance better and ensure that you are using permitted materials. It is your responsibility to demonstrate to your professor that you are following the requirements and standards of your proctored exam.
