Ace Your IGCSE Spanish Exam: Discussing Weekly Routines with Days of the Week
Hello, students! Miguel Marina here from Spanish Super Tutor. Today, we’re going to enhance your ability to talk about "rutinas semanales" (weekly routines) using the days of the week in Spanish. This is a key skill for the IGCSE Spanish Exam and will help you provide clear, structured answers in both written and oral components.
Essential Vocabulary: Days of the Week
Understanding and correctly using the days of the week is fundamental when discussing weekly routines:
Lunes (Monday)
Martes (Tuesday)
Miércoles (Wednesday)
Jueves (Thursday)
Viernes (Friday)
Sábado (Saturday)
Domingo (Sunday)
Structuring Your Sentences
When describing weekly routines, it’s important to structure your sentences to include the day, activity, and any specific details like location or time. Here’s a simple structure:
Day of the week: Start with the day, e.g., "El lunes," (On Monday),
Activity: Follow with your activity, "voy al gimnasio" (I go to the gym),
Details: Add details, "por la mañana antes de ir a trabajar." (in the morning before going to work).
Example Sentence: "El miércoles y el viernes, después de la escuela, tomo clases de guitarra en el centro cultural." (On Wednesday and Friday, after school, I take guitar lessons at the cultural center.)
Expanding Your Discussion
To make your descriptions richer and more detailed, consider discussing:
Purpose or reason for the activity: "para mantenerme en forma" (to stay fit),
Who you do the activity with: "con mi mejor amigo" (with my best friend),
How you feel about the activity: "me relaja mucho" (it relaxes me a lot).
Expanded Example: "El martes por la noche, estudio español con un grupo de amigos en la biblioteca local porque nos ayuda a mejorar nuestro nivel antes del examen IGCSE." (On Tuesday night, I study Spanish with a group of friends at the local library because it helps us improve our level before the IGCSE exam.)
Regular Practice
To master discussing weekly routines, practice regularly by writing out your own routines or creating hypothetical ones. This exercise will help you become comfortable with the vocabulary and sentence structures needed for the exam.
