2. Presenting the Source Text | 呈现源文本
Read the following text carefully. It has been crafted to resemble the level and style of passages used in AS reading comprehension exercises. The original Spanish is followed by a Chinese translation for reference.
仔细阅读以下文本。其难度和风格模拟了 AS 阅读理解练习中使用的篇章。先给出西班牙语原文，随后附上中文翻译供参考。
Source text (Spanish):
‘El uso de las redes sociales entre los jóvenes hispanohablantes ha crecido enormemente. Aunque muchos padres temen que sus hijos pasen demasiado tiempo frente a las pantallas, los adolescentes afirman que estas plataformas les permiten mantener el contacto con amigos y expresarse libremente. Sin embargo, es importante que los usuarios sean conscientes de los riesgos, como el ciberacoso. Antes, cuando yo era más joven, no existían los teléfonos inteligentes y jugábamos en la calle. Si yo fuera un joven hoy, limitaría mi tiempo en línea y participaría en actividades al aire libre. Los expertos recomiendan que los padres dialoguen con sus hijos sobre el uso responsable de la tecnología.’
中文翻译：
‘在讲西班牙语的年轻人中，社交媒体的使用大幅增长。尽管许多父母担心子女花太多时间面对屏幕，但青少年们声称这些平台让他们能够与朋友保持联系并自由表达自我。不过，重要的是用户要意识到风险，例如网络欺凌。以前，当我更年轻时，还不存在智能手机，我们都在街上玩耍。如果我是今天的年轻人，我会限制上网时间并参加户外活动。专家们建议父母与子女就负责任地使用技术进行对话。’

Suggested answer: The experts emphasise that open dialogue between parents and children is key to fostering responsible use of technology, implying that mere prohibition is not enough.
参考答案：专家强调，父母与子女之间的开放对话是培养负责任地使用技术的关键，这意味着仅仅禁止是不够的。
5. Grammar Focus: The Present Subjunctive | 语法重点：现在时虚拟语气
The text contains two clear examples of the present subjunctive: ‘es importante que los usuarios sean conscientes’ and ‘recomiendan que los padres dialoguen’. Both follow impersonal expressions (‘es importante que’) or verbs of recommendation (‘recomiendan que’), which trigger the subjunctive when there is a change of subject. In exams you are often asked to identify why the subjunctive is used and to construct similar sentences.
文本中有两个明显的现在时虚拟语气的例子：’es importante que los usuarios sean conscientes’ 和 ‘recomiendan que los padres dialoguen’。它们都跟在无人称表达（es importante que）或表示建议的动词（recomiendan que）之后，当主语发生变化时，就会触发虚拟式。考试中经常要求你解释为什么使用虚拟式，并构造类似的句子。
How to form the present subjunctive: Take the ‘yo’ form of the present indicative, drop the ‘-o’, and add the opposite ending: for -ar verbs use -e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en; for -er/-ir verbs use -a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an. Example: hablar > hable; comer > coma; vivir > viva.
如何构成现在时虚拟式：取陈述式现在时“yo”形式，去掉词尾 -o，然后加上相反的词尾：-ar 动词使用 -e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en；-er/-ir 动词使用 -a, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an。例如：hablar → hable；comer → coma；vivir → viva。
Here are some additional triggers commonly seen in AS papers: ‘es necesario que’, ‘es posible que’, ‘dudo que’, ‘no creo que’, ‘para que’, ‘antes de que’. Learn to spot them and conjugate the following verb correctly.
以下是 AS 试卷中常见的触发词：’es necesario que’、’es posible que’、’dudo que’、’no creo que’、’para que’、’antes de que’。学会识别它们并正确变位后续动词。
Practice: Complete the sentence with the correct subjunctive form. ‘Quiero que mis padres me ________ (escuchar) más.’ Answer: escuchen.
练习：用正确的虚拟式形式完成句子。’Quiero que mis padres me escuchen más.’（我希望父母多听我说话。）
6. Grammar in Context: Preterite vs. Imperfect | 语法在上下文中：简单过去时 vs 未完成过去时
The text uses the imperfect tense (‘era’, ‘existían’, ‘jugábamos’) to describe habitual actions, ongoing states or background settings in the past. Understanding the distinction between the preterite (completed actions) and the imperfect (description, repetition, ongoing situations) is crucial for both reading accuracy and narrative writing.
文本使用未完成过去时（’era’、’existían’、’jugábamos’）来描述过去的习惯性动作、持续状态或背景设定。理解简单过去时（完成的动作）和未完成过去时（描述、重复、持续情景）之间的区别对于阅读准确性和叙事写作都至关重要。
Key contrasts: ‘Ayer no existían los drones’ (imperfect – describes a past state) vs. ‘El año pasado compré un dron’ (preterite – single completed action). ‘Cuando era niño jugaba al tenis’ (imperfect – habitual) vs. ‘Ayer jugué un partido’ (preterite – one event).
关键对比：‘Ayer no existían los drones’（未完成时——描述过去的状态）vs. ‘El año pasado compré un dron’（简单过去时——单一完成的动作）。‘Cuando era niño jugaba al tenis’（未完成时——习惯）vs. ‘Ayer jugué un partido’（简单过去时——单个事件）。
Use the table to check the regular endings for both tenses:
| Infinitive | Preterite (yo) | Imperfect (yo) |
|---|---|---|
| hablar | hablé | hablaba |
| comer | comí | comía |
| vivir | viví | vivía |
7. Translation Practice: English to Spanish | 翻译练习：英译西
Translate the following sentences into Spanish, paying special attention to the subjunctive and past tenses discussed above. Model translations are given with commentary.
将以下句子翻译成西班牙语，特别注意上面讨论的虚拟式和过去时态。附上参考译文并加注解说。
Sentence 1: ‘My parents want me to use my phone responsibly.’
句子 1： ‘我的父母希望我负责任地使用手机。’
Translation: Mis padres quieren que yo use mi móvil / teléfono de forma responsable. Use is the present subjunctive of usar because ‘querer que’ triggers the subjunctive when subjects differ.
译文：Mis padres quieren que yo use mi móvil de forma responsable. 这里 use 是 usar 的现在时虚拟式，因为 querer que 在主语不同时要求用虚拟式。
Sentence 2: ‘When I was a child, I used to play in the park every evening.’
句子 2： ‘当我还是个孩子时，我每天傍晚都会在公园里玩耍。’
Translation: Cuando era niño, jugaba en el parque todas las tardes. The imperfect ‘era’ sets the scene, and ‘jugaba’ conveys a habitual past action.
译文：Cuando era niño, jugaba en el parque todas las tardes. 未完成时 ‘era’ 设置了场景，’jugaba’ 表达过去的习惯性动作。
8. Oral and Written Extension Tasks | 口语与写作拓展任务
To build fluency, try these prompts. Use the vocabulary and structures from the case study in your answers. For speaking practice, record yourself and compare with the model answers provided by your teacher.
为提升流利度，试做这些提示。在回答中使用案例中的词汇和句式。口语练习时，可以录下自己所说的内容，并与老师提供的参考答案进行对比。
Oral prompt: ‘¿Crees que las redes sociales son más peligrosas que beneficiosas para los jóvenes? Justifica tu respuesta.’
口语提示：‘你认为社交媒体对年轻人来说是否弊大于利？请论证你的回答。’
Written prompt: Write a 150-word paragraph comparing the leisure activities of teenagers today with those of your parents’ generation. Use at least three different past tenses and two subjunctive expressions.
写作提示：写一段 150 词的短文，比较当今青少年与父母那一代人的休闲活动。至少使用三种不同的过去时态和两个虚拟表达。
9. Common Mistakes to Avoid | 常见错误避免
Many candidates lose marks by confusing the subjunctive with the indicative after ‘cuando’ or ‘si’, or by using the wrong past tense. Study these typical errors and the corrected versions.
许多考生因在 ‘cuando’ 或 ‘si’ 之后混淆虚拟式与陈述式，或误用过去时态而失分。请研究这些典型错误及其修正版本。
Error: ‘Si yo soy rico, viajaría.’ (incorrect) Correct: ‘Si yo fuera rico, viajaría.’ ‘Si’ + imperfect subjunctive is required for hypothetical situations.
错误：‘Si yo soy rico, viajaría.’ 正确：‘Si yo fuera rico, viajaría.’ 假设情况要求使用 ‘si’ + 未完成虚拟式。
Error: ‘Cuando era niño jugué en la calle cada día.’ (mixing preterite for habitual action) Correct: ‘Cuando era niño jugaba en la calle cada día.’
错误：‘Cuando era niño jugué en la calle cada día.’（将习惯性动作用简单过去时） 正确：‘Cuando era niño jugaba en la calle cada día.’ 习惯性动作用未完成时。
Error: ‘Es importante que los usuarios son conscientes.’ Correct: ‘Es importante que los usuarios sean conscientes.’ ‘Es importante que’ always requires the subjunctive.
错误：‘Es importante que los usuarios son conscientes.’ 正确：‘Es importante que los usuarios sean conscientes.’ ‘Es importante que’ 后始终要用虚拟式。
10. Exam Tips and Final Summary | 考试技巧与总结
When tackling a case study or reading text in the actual CCEA AS exam, first skim the questions, then read the text actively – underline verbs in the subjunctive and mark past tense forms. This will save time and help you answer grammar-specific questions confidently. Always leave two minutes to check your translations for common slips like missed accents or agreement errors.
在 CCEA AS 实际考试中处理案例或阅读文本时，首先浏览问题，然后积极阅读文本——划出虚拟式动词并标记过去时态形式。这将节省时间，并帮助你自信地回答语法专项问题。务必留出两分钟检查翻译中常见的疏漏，如漏写重音或性数不一致的错误。
By working through this practical exercise, you have reinforced essential skills: vocabulary recognition, subjunctive usage, past tense contrast and focused translation. Revisit the source text regularly and try writing your own parallel paragraph about technology habits – the more you practise with structured analysis, the more automatic the correct forms will become on exam day.
通过这个实战练习，你巩固了核心技能：词汇识别、虚拟式的使用、过去时态对比和针对性翻译。请定期重温源文本，并尝试撰写一段关于科技习惯的类似段落——越是进行结构化的分析练习，考试当天正确形式的运用就越能成为本能。
