In the books I am reading, the translation for the present tense in Spanish always includes the English equivalent of present progressive. For example:
Yo hablo = I talk/I am talking.
Él escribe = He writes/He is writing.

What is more common? Are both considered perfectly acceptable?
As Angelica's said, her answer are correct.
You should both choices.
