Reading Comprehension, ‘Poor family’
Writing
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
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.
