Lettorato I and II. How to quickly improve your vocabulary and your writing

A little light translation!
Don’t forget, if you need to expand your knowledge of basic vocabulary, go to the EU site where you will find the 2018 EU General Report (154 pages!). If clicking on a link here doesn't work or is very slow, just copy and paste the link onto Google search.
then download the pdf format in both Italian and English
This will give you more than 150 pages of Italian to translate into English! You can do it orally. You don't need to write it all down. To check your translation just move between the Italian and English version and take notes on the regular language usage in English and the differences from Italian, and your mistakes of course!
And here's the 2017 General Report (130 pages)
And here's the 2016 General Report (104 pages)
You can also get the General Reports for 2015 (96 pages) and 2014 (288 pages!)
If you prefer, you can go straight to the English version of the 2018 EU General Report or other texts on the EU site or UN site and simply start taking notes on common expressions used in English. Here is the UN site address:

The FAO also has lots of material in English and some texts in Italian and English.
The articles listed on the FAO archive page here are also available in English. Click on the article you want to get it in Italian and then open the site on another page, go to the article again and click on 'English' at the top to get the English version. Translate from Italian to English orally line by line, moving from the Italian to the English text to check. Make notes on your vocabulary and grammar errors. Note any spelling you need to remember.
There are also all the articles from previous years if you click on the year on the left.
Some examples from 2018:
