Hello, everyone!
Excellent job, Elena. Attention to 3rd person: The Captain believes.
Great job too, Charo. People were called “pilgrims”.
Hi there, Jose! I know original videos are difficult but the more you practise the more you learn and improve. You did very well!
Well done, Tatiana, Lola, Luis, María D. and Javier! Attention to spelling. We should write “history” Capitals are not necessary here.
César, nice job but pay attention to spelling mistakes: world, religious & boarded. Remember that the plural of “person” is “people”.
Summing up: you’re doing very well! Keep up the good work! Sorry about question number 5.
