¡Hola a todos!
Me ha gustado mucho esta lectura, pero quiero dejar un comentario.**
El autor escribe:
"Finalmente, quiero ver el amanecer sobre el Océano Pacífico, en Ciudad de Panamá, y el atardecer en el Océano Atlántico, en Colón."
Nunca he estado en Ciudad de Panamá. Dicho esto, ¿alguien ha visto salir el sol sobre el Océano Pacífico desde la costa oeste de Panamá? O, ¿ha visto ponerse el sol sobre el Atlántico en una playa de Colón?, en la costa este de Panamá? ;>)

"Nicaragua está en el puesto número seis en la lista de ciudades seguras..."

"Sobre" was given as a hint for "on" one page prior to where it was used (on the last line of text).

1. > "As many Irish people emigrated to the United States..." [because that corresponds better with the 'emigraron' in your Spanish translation].
2. [Debatable !] > I first wondered whether "Halloween is really an ancient Irish holiday" might have been more helpful to us, rather than saying "... ancestral..."]... In Castillian, 'ancestral' is indeed sometimes used as a synonym for 'antiguo' - but perhaps there is a very slight difference in Englsh? Eventually, however, I could see that the use of the word 'ancestral' in that context was at least pointing us in the right direction.
‘The local police has captured the murderer.’
I’d say this should be ‘have captured’ in English, ‘has’ sounds unnatural to me
Before I did this exercise I studied the difference between these verb forms and still managed to get it wrong on almost every occasion. Not only am I not progressing, I'm actually getting worse. Thanks everyone for all your kind responses and help, it's much appreciated.
A quiz marked 'Te no miras' (you don't look at yourself) as correct. But I don't think it is. The reflex particle goes closer to the conjugated verb. 'No te miras'
Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have?
I am confused by the second sentence of this short paragraph. Why is the article "el" needed (required) before the color names?
