What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear. 

The vocabulary and long sentences should make this type of story A2 or even higher. Eamples, bodegon to mean still life and lienzo. I wish there were some easier real A1 stories for me to start with. I either have to forget them or spend a lot time 

This is the third time in the past month that I'm finding loaded leftist political sentences in the quizes. You guys should really leave politics out of the learning environment. It's a huge turnoff. It makes you guys look very ignorant and extremist. One sentence for example was celebrating socialism. Very inappropriate to say the least. 

The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.

"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."

--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.

"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."

--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.

It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.

Porque “..era un caballero medieval” pero “fue un héroe nacional..”

Question on why the final bit "we were a little dizzy" should be conjugated in imperfect rather than simple past. I imagined that one moment in time when "we were dizzy" should be the opposite. I get that estar is often conjugated in imperfect, but this seems a lot like one moment that's no longer taking place, encapsulated in the past, not continuing and not one that lasted long (given that "we were *a little* dizzy.")  Help please?
