The idea is to find an English words (synonyms or antonyms related to the words – E M P A T H Y and S Y M P A T H Y (sustantivos) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the words.

Example:

I’ve no sympathy with their point of view.

No tengo ninguna simpatía con su punto de vista.

I feel empathy for their victims.

Siento empatía por sus víctimas.

Pictures are a good idea.

These links might help you find some ideas. empathy - sympathy

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English. smile?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me. wink

This was the previous challenge.

'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.' ? Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Nunca comprendemos a nadie excluso cuando reflexionamos sobre cosas desde de su punto de vista... Cuando entramos dentro de su piel y estamos andando en ella.

If you feel compassion for somebody you are friendly with him, if you feel empathy, you are making an effort to help him.

Si te sientes compasión por alguien eres amable con él, si te sientes empatía, estás haciendo un esfuerzo para ayudarlo.
