a problem with an item you bought. You must use

stationery shop. For this practice, imagine you
are in a stationary shop.

conveying these ideas.
86
83. Por qué estás llamando

to remember as they will be useful in a number of
situations.
88
85. Habitación - problema

Here you need togive information about a problem
in a hotel room. Be careful to choose something
that you can think of a solution for. Give at

Now use Es posible...? /
Sería posible..? to suggest a solution

you were doing when a road accident happened....
