Question 9Most answers were very sound, but a few candidates had difficulty with sorprendente (rendered assombradente) and peluquero (written as pelucero or pelugoro).Question 10All candidates answered this question correctly, having identified the relevance of the words a lo mejor meestá escuchando.Question 11Most candidates gave fully correct answers, but the word mentir did cause some problems, with renderingssuch as metir and ventir.Question 12The question was generally well answered, though there were some who confused the present number ofnuns (19) with the number there would have normally been (22-23).Question 13One or two answers were based on pure supposition about what the motto might be and in one or two casesthe word oración was translated as ‘oration’.Question 14Almost all candidates correctly identified las cuatro y media as the starting time.Question 15The word descanso caused some problems, and ‘free time’ was not precise enough to be accepted. Severalcandidates had difficulty with the expression lectura del evangelio divino, and used the words ‘lecture’ and‘evangelism’ in their answers. ‘The Bible’ was accepted as a valid interpretation of el evangelio.Question 16Among the many excellent answers to this question were quite a number of others that were not specificenough.Question 17The words doblar, pañuelos and rosarios caused more problems than had been expected, and no candidategave a completely correct answer.Question 18(a)(b)There were several good answers, based on the words el trabajo tiene un encanto, but others weretoo vague with expressions such as ‘it’s special’ and ‘something positive’.A number of candidates failed to mention that the rest of humanity is working, but nearly all saw therelevance of the words te unes a la humanidad.Question 19Many answers were based on what was said about the artistic heritage of the convent, rather than on theinterviewer’s words Me estoy esperando que me invite usted.Question 20This question was very well answered, with just a few candidates failing to understand the nun’s words esnuestra obligación orar por el mundo.59
