Writing, based on Page 116, A Short Story (a narrative), so follow the instructions in sections a-h. Work with your group. You will probably need 2 meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone so you can all check it on your own and try to correct and improve it. At the second meeting, you should check and correct it, try to enrich it and produce an error-free final version. The secretary sends it to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual stories, please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.

Writing, based on Page 117, essay ‘For and Against’ – Don’t do the titles in the book, do this one ‘Taking part in the Erasmus program: what are the benefits and drawbacks?’ Work with your group.

Writing if not done yet Write a letter of advice to a friend in Dublin, James O’Leary, who has done an elementary Italian course and wants to improve his language skills. He has asked you for some tips and advice.

You can use expression to give advice like: ‘Why don’t you…?’, ‘If I were you, I……’, ‘What about….’, ‘I think you should….’, ‘It might be a good idea to….’, Another useful thing to do would be to….’, ‘I wouldn’t worry too much about……’ and ‘You could also……’.

Think about the layout, structure and normative language for this type of informal letter. Work with your group. You will probably need 2 meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone. At the second meeting, you should add to it, check it and correct it. The secretary sends it to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual letters, please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.

Student's Book

Revise Units 1-5

Writing- Telling a Story (a narrative), page 118. Think about the structure, verb tenses and normative language (expressions of time and sequence) for writing a narrative. Work with your group (or better, a new group!). You will probably need 2 (or 3?) meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone so you all have the chance to correct it and think of changes. At the second meeting, you should work together to enrich the text and to eliminate the errors. The secretary sends it to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual stories, please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.

Writing – Describing a friend, using the vocabulary on pages 153 and 158, write a description of one of your best friends (include their physical appearance and personality) and their relationship with you (you can use the questions on page 53, exercise 4, section C and the vocabulary in the other sections to get you started). Work with your group (or better, a new group!). You will probably need 2 (or 3?) meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary. First exchange descriptions and decide which one you want to work on as a group. Then try to correct and improve it. You can add to it. It no longer belongs to the parson who wrote it, so you can add what you want. The secretary should type out the agreed draft and circulate it. Then have another meeting later to finalize it. No hurry. Do the exercise properly. Then the secretary sends the final copy to me.
