<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Cuando </em><em>fui</em><em> joven recuerdo una vez que me enfermé. Cuando </em><em>estuve</em><em> enfermo, me </em><em>dolió</em><em> tanto la cabeza que tuve que descansar. Fue un resfriado, enfermé a mi madre. </em><em>Fue </em><em>mejor cuando </em><em>estuve</em><em> sano nuevamente.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The original paragraph is as follows:

<em>Cuando</em><em> era </em><em>joven recuerdo una vez que me enfermé. Cuando </em><em>estaba </em><em>enfermo, me </em><em>dolía</em><em> tanto la cabeza que tuve que descansar. Fue un resfriado, enfermé a mi madre. </em><em>Era </em><em>mejor cuando </em><em>estaba</em><em> sano nuevamente. </em>

<em />

This paragraph has some verbs conjugated in the imperfect tense. This tense is used when talking about past actions, conditions, or events that occurred regularly or frequently. In other words, those past actions were in progress in a moment in the past. On the other hand, the preterite tense tense talks about actions that were completed at a specific moment in the past.

To translate this into the preterite, we just need to change the conjugations given in the imperfect into conjugations in the preterite. So those changes are:

Era -----------------------> Fui

Estaba ------------------> Estuve

Dolía --------------------> Dolió

Era -----------------------> Dolió

Estaba ------------------> Estuve

Which of these are strategies to improve reading comprehension?
vesna_86 [32]
1) Read the text fast and find the words that are cognate.
2) Use the context to guess the significance of the new words in the text.
3) Translate word for word to english. 
4) Read the text multiple times.

In my opinion I think it might be 2 or 3 but its up to you, just look at the translation I did.
