The third question in the Galician "selectividad" exam says:

"Complete  the  second  sentence  of  each  pair  so that it has the same meaning as the  first  one." In other words, our 2nd "Bachillerato" students have to practise rewriting sentences keeping the original meaning. We call these exercises "transformations". On top my students have some sentences which they must rewrite.
