Arenal National Park, homework assignment

[notoman]

I am having the hardest time with the time words! I tried Googling examples and looked in a couple of differnt Spanish textbooks with no luck. I think that part of the problem is that I am trying to write it palabra por palabra. Yes, I am trying to say that it opens at nine and closes at four. Abre a las nueve de la mañana y cierra a las cuatro de la tarde.

Yes. I need to work more on the zip line reference. Which would be better?

de un lado a otro
sobre de los árboles
acabado de los árboles

I meant to say lancha. I should list the different types of boats—rafts, kayaks, motor boats, fishing boats—to expand that concept.

Thank you!!

Es un cable suspendido, ¿no? ¿Suspendido sobre que cosa? Sobre las copas de los árboles. Así que, puedes decir que "se puede volar/trasladar sobre los árboles de un lado a otro por medio de un cable suspendido". ¿Qué te parece?

I want to check my grammar before my mistakes are projected in front of the class. It is common in my area for students to do homework with Powerpoint. I don't know how common it is in other places.

I'm grateful with you for the explanation about my question.

Now I answer you question, yes it's exactly the same and most common here in my country, because when you have do a presentation in any software in your case powerpoint, then you should to check it before to presenting with the public so, you will can give a great class about your project and the pupils project too, so here it extensively used in the office I believe that everyone use thus software to do works in the computer.

I knew that wasn't right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I changed it to "Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal" in my presentation.

Thank you all SO much for your help! Working through the corrections saved me a lot of embarrassment in front of my classmates. I learned a lot as well and I have a feeling that those lessons are going to stick with me.
