Personal Ad Project - Español I

Español I - Personal Ad Project

A. Create a personal ad (like you might see in a local newspaper dating service) in Spanish. Be as creative as possible while using words we've already learned in Spanish.
BE CAREFUL HERE! - Don't fall into the very tempting trap of writing in English first and then having it translated into Spanish. The idea is to recycle all of the words and structures YOU have had the opportunity to learn in this course, and to help you really internalize them. Using an electronic translator, or someone more skilled in Spanish, to change your English into Spanish is cheating and you will get a 0 on this 100 point assignment.

Provide all of the following basic information about yourself: (Nota = datos/facts - information items)
1. Tell how old you are, where you're from, and when your birthday is. (3 datos)
