No lesson tomorrow

No lessons or ricevimento tomorrow! I just received this:

Il Rettore della Sapienza, a seguito della decisione già assunta dall'Amministrazione di chiudere il Rettorato, gli uffici e le Segreterie nel ponte di Ognissanti per consentire a studenti e personale di usufruire della festività, ha stabilito di estendere la chiusura anche alle eventuali attività didattiche e di ricerca. Tale decisione è stata assunta dopo le nuove forti scosse di terremoto che hanno interessato il Centro Italia, allo scopo di consentire verifiche tecniche sulle strutture degli edifici dell'Ateneo. I controlli, secondo quanto previsto anche per le scuole di Roma, saranno condotti nella giornata del 31 ottobre e, se necessario, del 1 novembre, in modo da garantire la regolare riapertura mercoledi 2.

 Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly through the sun
It's not aimed at anyone
It's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy bench
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Prossimo Ricevimento
Data:  lunedì  10 ottobre 2016

Prima lezione del primo semestre con me, Chris Young
corso A5 in aula V, lunedì 10 ottobre alle 10.30
corso A6 in aula V, lunedì 10 ottobre alle 8.30
You need to bring English File Intermediate Digital and Extra 1 to the first lesson (see below)

The course aims to improve students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to B1 level and beyond (particularly reading to B1+). The course is based on New English File Intermediate Digital (3rd edition, published 2013), authors  –  C. Oxenden and C. Latham- Koenig, English Grammar in Use by R. Murphy and Extra 1 (dispensa). Students should aim to attend at least 75% of the lessons and be prepared to do at least 2 hours self-study for every hour in class (4 with me, 8 hours self-study). Students must choose a book (fiction or non-fiction, but not simplified) in standard, modern English (to be approved by their teacher). They will read this book during the year, taking notes on the vocabulary. At the oral exam they will bring the book and their notes with them and they will be asked to talk briefly about themselves and then about the book they have read in terms of content and vocabulary (explaining or translating words or expressions selected by the teacher as within the target vocabulary range for the level).
