Reading Comprehension 

Ben Icon A few months before Jen left for Spain her host family asked her to write them a letter describing what her room looks like at home. The idea was to try to make her room look similar so she will immediately feel at home. Her brother, Ben, is helping out, since he has to write a similar letter to his host family in México. He's pretty good at Spanish but wants to make sure he has included everything in his own letter so he asks you some questions about the kinds of things Jen likes or has. Answer the questions below in English or Spanish to test your understanding.
