This part consists of two:
Part 1.A. Secundarias

This part lasts 75 minutes.

Translations
2 translations without a dictionary, one from Spanish into English, the other from English into Spanish, from current literary or journalistic texts.
They don’t set the time, but they do say that the total length of Part 1.A is 3 hours. Therefore, we can assume that it will be, as before, one hour for both translations.
