4. Present progressive
5. Reflexive verb
6. Irregular verb (stem-changing/go-yo)

Suggestions on how to structure your conversation:

• a description about what life is like in your "time".  (What do you do in the morning when you wake up, what do you do during the day, what food/activities do you like? What do you feel like doing in general on the weekends? What are you going to do when you get back?)
• a "despedida"
