This is interesting. Some of it is colloquial. What is the reference to 'Word Bank'? [capitalised]
I have been in the situation where I haven't done my homework and am desperately looking for short cuts so I don't have the teacher 'annoyed' but of course the teacher isn't annoyed and you soon realise not doing the homework means you have missed out on some useful revision,
If you have to go somewhere you do not know the language, you can take a phrasebook or have an app on your phone, but if you want to learn to speak a language and communicate with people you need to learn words. When you were a child your family would point things out and keep repeating ';what is that?' 'that is ...' I think for new vocabulary you need to repeat it - listening to it, writing sentences, reading it at least ten times, then you hear something and magically you know it! If I answer your questions you have missed a trick and it won't stick.
I always used the word 'abogado' for lawyer, but read 'licenciado' in a number of newspaper articles - effectively a learned man and now I know in Spain it is an alternative word for lawyer. It has stuck and I don't need to look it up.
I have looked up 'trajineras' because it wasn't on your list. It is a type of boat used in an area of Mexico where the film[movie] you are going to watch was filmed.
There is a useful purpose to your exercise - so that you are prepared for vocabulary in the film. Use the translator on this site if you are stuck.
Of course if having made an effort there is something you need explaining ask again. Here is the first part of the film - it is onYou tube in 3 parts:
Given that you have put all the relevant definitions at the top, it would not seem to be that hard to do this.
Nonetheless rules of the site do not allow us to simply give you answers, you must make a credible attempt. If you post your answers, and they seem to indicate a serious attempt, someone may choose to help correct them. If you do it before I go to bed it may even be me.
Otherwise we are not allowed by the rules of the site to help.
Let me add that I only provide this because I could give you all the answers if I was allowed to.
