Learn the idea
A short notice or message is useful when the reader can identify its action, time, place and conditions without inventing extra details. These original supplied records give all facts needed, with glosses for the less familiar vocabulary. A compact menu labels each item and its amount separately. Reading the correct row keeps an item’s price distinct from a nearby entry. These supplied unit prices are fictional, and no purchase or money is involved.
Translate the requested item using the full supplied glossary, then find that exact Spanish label in the record. Read the amount attached by its colon. The task asks for one listed item, not a total, tip or outside food recommendation.
Do not assume a familiar item must have a familiar price. The only amounts that matter are in the original supplied menu. A nearby number can be a valid price for another item yet wrong for the requested row.
- Copy the supplied example and underline its speaker, noun, time cue or evidence words.
- Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
- Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
- Complete all three new practice cases and use the model to correct the precise word or meaning.
