Hello, my name is Paola. When I WAS¹ a child, I was a very shy girl. My family and I lived in a small CITY² in Oaxaca, Mexico. I remember my BEST³ friend at elementary school WAS⁴ Manuel. When we met he was eight years OLD⁵ and I was nine. We were in the same GRADE⁶ at school. We sat together and always played in the break; we call it 'recreo' here in Mexico. HIS⁷ family was very nice and they lived near my house, so we spent a lot of time together. We watched cartoons on TV, PLAYED⁸ games, and did our homework together. In summer we were together to. We went swimming in  the river when the weather was hot, played with our toys, and played video games a lot – our favorite was Mario Bros. When his family moved to another city, I FELT⁹ very sad. I will NEVER¹⁰ forget the time we spent together.

NOTA 1:

La única forma de completar el texto con las palabras de la lista de modo que todas las oraciones sean coherentes es cambiando la palabra 'left' por 'felt'. Probablemente sea un error tipográfico. Si se conservan todas las palabras de la lista, el único espacio donde se puede colocar el verbo 'left' es el 9, pero la oración que resulta ('When his family moved to another city, I LEFT⁹ very sad') no tiene sentido.

► TRADUCCIÓN

Hola, llämö Paola. Cuando era niña, era muy tímida. Mi familia y yo vivíamos en una pequeña ciudad en Oaxca, México. Recuerdo que mi mejor amigo en la escuela era Manuel. Cuando nos conocimos él tenía ocho años y yo nueve. Estábamos en el mismo grado en la escuela. Nos sentábamos juntos y siempre jugábamos en el 'break'; lo llamamos recreo aquí en México. Su familia era muy agradable y vivían cerca de mi casa, así que pasábamos mucho tiempo juntos. Veíamos dibujos animados en la televisión, jugábamos juegos y hacíamos los deberes juntos. En verano también estábamos juntos. Íbamos a nadar al río cuando hacía calor, jugábamos con nuestros juguetes y jugábamos mucho a los videojuegos; nuestro favorito era Mario Bros. Cuando su familia se mudó a otra ciudad, me sentí muy triste. Nunca olvidaré el tiempo que pasamos juntos.

NOTA 2:

Por insólito que parezca, el sistema rechaza la palabra 'llämö' por considerarla una 'palabrota', así que la he tenido que 'disfrazar' con las diéresis (= los puntitos sobre las vocales).

Saludos.  ✨
