Meroledi' 22 aprile 2015
Espresso 3 - Unita' 1 - Do you speak Italian?
- For those of you who missed the lesson mercoledì 22 aprile, here is what we covered:
- we began with revising the phrases used to formulate a discussion - see 'argomentare' attachment, that is, 'frasi per esprimere la propria opinione, per esprimere accordo e per esprimere disaccordo' - then in groups we discussed the content of the song 'oh marito' [see attachment] and tried to use as many of the phrases as possible to express one's opinion, express agreement, express disagreement.....
- a reading exercise followed - see esercizio 12, pagina 16 - where we learned what words to use when discussing technology: mouse, scan, browser and provider are all used in Italian, however: click = cliccare; Internet = rete; screen-saver = salvaschermo; desk top = da tavolo; surfing = navigazione; trackpad = tappettino
- then we considered which other foreign words have been incorporated into Italian - find out by completing esercizio 13, pagina 17 where the words must be matched to their meanings and written in the appropriate box [see attachment]. Once you've matched all the words, work out which ones are from francese, spagnolo, inglese, giapponese, turco, tedesco, eschimese, sancritto
- listening exercise followed - see transcript below - during which we listened to an interview on what is being done to protect [tutelare] the Italian language - understanding was checked by completing esercizio 15, pagina 17
- HOMEWORK: to practise the 'pronomi combinati' we learned last week, complete esercizio 8, pagina 115; esercizio 9, pagina 116; esercizio 10, pagina 116; esercizi 11 e 12, pagina 117....................BUON LAVORO!
To conclude we began a new chapter - VIVERE IN CITTA' [pagina 20] where we studied the pictures and discussed 'I problemi' associated with big city living. In pairs we read the phrases top of page 21 and then discussed which of these reflect the towns in the table on pagina 20. Finally, we asked one another the question: Immagina di doverti trasferire per un anno in una di queste citta' - quale scegliereti e perche'?
Arrivederci alla prossima!
