Answer 1

Hello, and welcome to SpanishDict. In my opinion, there are a couple of ways to go about preparing for your exam.

1. Immerse Yourself In Vocabulary

When I'm writing a story in any language, the first thing I do is look at some new or unknown vocabulary. Trust me, you never know when that one word would come in handy. Throughout the weekend, briefly look over your Spanish-English dictionary just to strengthen your overall vocabulary. You can also use online resources such as Spanish Dictionary, Duolingo, Word Reference, etc., etc.

1. Use Example Scenarios

Since your shorty story will consist of a scenario, use examples to your advantage. For instance, ask a family member to come up with an example topic and then write a short story about it. By doing this, you will be prepared for anything that you may have forgotten about writing Spanish or simply new vocabulary.

1. Read Through Your Spanish Book

Many times, Spanish textbooks will have example stories or paragraphs regarding the current topic. For example, a section on weather may have a paragraph that pertains to the topic. Reading over these is especially helpful because it is a model for a possible response.

1. Study Yourself

Overall, studying is something you can do alone. However, if you are stumped on a question and can't find a valid answer anywhere, feel free to plug the question in to the forums for help (like rac1 explained in his comment).

I do hope you do well on your exam Monday.

¡Espero que tenga un buen fin de semana!
